Byline
Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood is the byline already on all five pieces published here — not a new pen name introduced for this redesign. Writes about the mechanics behind Canadian online slot games: how RTP and volatility figures are calculated and published, which software studios actually build the games behind a casino's own branding, and how new releases and game formats differ mechanically from what came before. Not a ratings desk and not a bonus-chasing one — the job here is explaining how the machine works, not how much it pays any one player.
