What Reels Decoded covers
Reels Decoded describes the actual workings of casino games: their rules, their features and the underlying figures. This includes RTP, volatility, paylines, bonus rounds and how often a feature tends to land. Most of the content focuses on pokies, as that's where the most questions arise.
Who it's for
It's for any person who has played a pokie and questioned what is actually happening. This encompasses inquisitive players, individuals who enjoy understanding the inner workings of things, and anyone who prefers to comprehend a game instead of guessing. No prior knowledge needed.
How articles are made
I'm Max Nechyporenko, and I write the articles here. I begin every piece using the game sheet from the provider, including the feature rules, the paytable, the volatility rating, and the published RTP. I then verify this data against other reliable sources. If information isn't public, I state that instead of using guesswork to fill the void.
I particularly enjoy writing about sticky wilds, which remain on the reels for several spins, and their effect on a pokie's payouts. These demonstrate how a single minor rule can transform an entire game.
