How we make this site

How we make this site.

Every number on this site comes from a public record you can open. This page explains who answers for it, how the records get here and what we do not do.

Who is responsible

Pablo Valenzuela Andrade, Computer Engineer, is responsible for the site and its content. He reviews the content after it is published and answers for its accuracy. His engineering title stands behind the system that reads and checks the records, not behind gambling, legal or financial advice. There is no panel of casino testers and no invented reviewer: if a page says something, it says where it came from.

Where the records come from

Casino lists and figures come from the body that licenses or regulates casinos in each place, read from its own website or report:

  • State regulators: the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the Mississippi Gaming Commission, the Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division, the Virginia Lottery, the Michigan Gaming Control Board, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the Indiana Gaming Commission, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and others named on each record.
  • Tribal casinos: the federal directory of the National Indian Gaming Commission, because tribal casinos are licensed under each tribe’s own rules.
  • Operators: a casino’s own website, used for its street address, phone number, games or terms. These are labeled as operator statements, not as our measurements.

How a record gets here

  1. Read the official source.A script in our source code downloads the regulator’s list or report and reads it line by line. The source and the date it was read are stored with every record.
  2. Check it adds up.When a regulator publishes totals, as Mississippi and Virginia do for their monthly figures, the script stops unless the casinos it read add up to those totals exactly.
  3. Keep addresses conservative.A street address comes from the regulator, the federal tribal directory or the casino’s own website, never from a third-party listing. A map pin is added only when the U.S. Census geocoder returns a single match on the same street; otherwise the record has no pin.
  4. Show what is missing.An address we could not confirm says so. A state we have not reviewed is “not yet reviewed”, not “illegal”.
  5. Check before publishing.Automated checks look for broken links and missing sources, and new pages are measured at phone and desktop widths before a change goes live.

How automated tools are used

Writing and code are prepared with the help of automated tools, including AI. They do not decide facts: every figure, rule and date is taken from the source cited on the page, and the checks above run before publication. Pablo then reviews the published content and corrects what needs correcting.

What we do not do

  • We do not open accounts, deposit money, time withdrawals or visit properties for these profiles.
  • We do not publish star ratings, scores, testimonials or “best overall” awards.
  • We have no paid placements or affiliate links. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed on the page.
  • We do not use AI-generated faces or invented authors. AI illustrations are labeled as such; real photographs are credited to their photographer and license.

Dates you can trust

Each page shows when its sources were read. We change that date only when we recheck the source or change the content, not to make a page look fresh. Monthly figures name the month they describe.
