MedusaSlots blog
The blog is the part of the site where things are explained fully: what the figures on gambling pages mean, what the bonus terms really say and how to keep your gambling under control. Every article is written here in‑house — not a translation assembly line nor compiled from other reviews.
We do not write winning strategies or systems, because none exist. We write about what can be verified: the game's own information, the casino's terms, and what we have personally seen on screen.

Petri Halkola · Casinos
- Basics — the game's numbers and concepts explained: RTP, volatility, paytable, multipliers.
- Guides — practical instructions: where to read the rules and what to check before the first spin.
- Responsibility — budget, time and limits. Part of every guide, not a footnote.
- Casinos — bonus terms and promotions broken down line by line, with the date.
Why some things are marked as work in progress: we publish an article only once it has been fully written and checked. A marked topic is in the queue — we don't put up an empty page just because the headline has been thought of. The same rule applies to numbers: missing information is stated as missing.
Authors
Two names, no anonymous texts
Writes blog guides and basics: RTP, volatility, paytables and bonus terms in Finnish and without sales spin. Verifies every figure from the game's own info panel before it appears in the text.
Saara's page and articles ▸
Responsible for the catalog's slot reviews and casino reviews. Reads bonus terms to the end, records the date and also states aloud what the terms don't disclose.
Petri's page and reviews ▸
The blog does not sell gambling. The site's yellow buttons are advertising links to a partner casino, and this is stated separately each time — read how we earn the page About us about the section and how we do the work on the page How we test. 18+ · gambling is entertainment, not a source of income.
