About
The editorial team
Every review on NewSlot.co.uk is written and edited by a named human. No anonymous bylines, no AI-collaboration footers concealing the work, no editorial-by-committee. Two people are responsible for every page that ships, and both sign off by name.

Jack Carter
Editor
Founded NewSlot.co.uk in 2026 and edits it. Reads every review before it ships and signs off each one by name. Owns the Best New Slot rubric, which is the scoring framework the site is built around, and decides what gets coverage. Comes from a publishing background, which informs the editorial approach: reviews here should be readable for their own sake, not just as a route to a casino sign-up. The site is independent and accepts no operator funding.

Thom McGlinchey
Slots Expert
Slots correspondent at NewSlot.co.uk. Plays every new UK-licensed release as it lands and writes the first-look. Covers the full mechanic range, from cluster-pays and hold-and-respin to Megaways and progressives, but is most useful on the mid-volatility band where the maths model and the felt experience tend to diverge most. Tests every studio claim against the demo before writing. Will pan a slot when the maths is mean or the art is half-finished, and considers a 7.0 a real compliment.

How the team works
Thom plays every new UK-licensed release as it lands and writes the first-look. Jack reads every draft before it ships and holds the redline on editorial conventions: no bonus-frequency claims, no fairness framings on price or return, no affiliate copy dressed as editorial. The Best New Slot award is given by Jack against a public rubric, never to slots from a provider running an active promotion with us.
We do not accept paid placements. We do not receive referral fees on any operator link on the site. The casino-availability listings under each review report which UK-licensed casinos currently carry a slot. They are not rankings, and they are not paid for. If we ever take an affiliate relationship with an operator, it will be disclosed inline on the page.
