About

David Burke approaches casino games the way a mathematician approaches a problem — methodically, with no interest in how a game is marketed and considerable interest in how it actually works. House edge figures, rule variant impacts, side bet value, optimal strategy deviations: these are the things that determine whether a game is worth a player’s time, and they are what David writes about.

His coverage spans the full casino games catalogue — blackjack variants, roulette formats, baccarat, poker-based table games and RNG titles — with particular depth in games where strategy has a measurable effect on outcomes. He does not treat all variants as equal. A blackjack table paying 6:5 on a natural is not the same product as one paying 3:2, and David makes that distinction clearly in every review, regardless of how the operator presents it.

He has been writing about casino games across UKGC-regulated platforms for over ten years, and his standard has not shifted: verify the rules against the actual game, calculate the real house edge, and tell players what they are walking into before they sit down. Strategy guides published under his name are checked against established combinatorial analysis — not approximated for readability.
