Meet Mandy Hamer

Back when I graduated from Uni in 2018, Malta's iGaming industry was already booming and offering plenty of opportunities for growth to ambitious writers and marketers. As someone who loves creative writing, immersive games and storytelling, I decided to pursue a content-related career within the industry. I had a good feeling that this was the next challenge in life I was looking for.

And that feeling proved to be right. As a junior content writer, I had the pleasure to play and review dozens upon dozens of slots, deepening my knowledge of these games and how they operate online. As I worked my way through more senior roles, I tested countless casino sites to write in-depth reviews in the digital marketing space. There's loads of misinformation on the web regarding online gambling, so I want my work to not only engage players, but also empower them by providing all the information and facts they need.

While most times I'm tempted to jump straight into the games lobby, I've learnt that the first thing I should look at for complete peace of mind is the casino's licensing information. If a site has a valid gambling license from a reputable authority, like the Malta Gaming Authority, then it gets the green light from me.

Nothing beats knowing you're playing at a safe casino site that has all the measures in place to protect your data and funds. Nowadays, it's all too easy for that kind of sensitive information to fall into the wrong hands, and a licensed casino has the right security measures in place to prevent that from happening.

Blackjack, hands down. The rules are beginner friendly, and as opposed to slots, it's a game that requires some skill to push the odds in your favor. Speaking of odds, by playing perfect basic strategy in blackjack, the house edge can shrink down to 0.5%, which means your expected return is a whopping 99.5%. What's not to love?
