Tessa Loubser worked her way up on the slot floors of South African casinos, from the cash desk to running a slot floor of her own. Night after night she watched players pick a machine by the picture on its glass, then stay or leave because of the way it played. On Olympus Slots she reviews both halves of every game with Olympus in its name.
How the reviews work
Each review starts with the god, the world around the reels and the job the god has in the game. Then it turns to the reels, the free round and any bought bonus, and to the studio's figures, each with its source and the day it was read. A score out of 10 closes the review, and the rules for it sit on How the Reviews Work.
The byline
Tessa Loubser is the name she writes under, and her own stays private. Every figure in her reviews comes from the studio or the demo, with its source written beside it.
