Alex Morgan

Senior iGaming Analyst & Content Lead

My name is Alex Morgan, and I have been working in the online gambling industry since 2014. I studied mathematics at the University of Manchester — a background that turned out to be surprisingly useful when I discovered the world of online casino games during my second year. What started as casual interest in poker odds calculations evolved into a career analysing game mechanics, RTP models, and the mathematical frameworks that underpin every slot, crash game, and table game on the internet.

After graduating, I spent three years working for a mid-sized iGaming company in Malta, where I learned the business from the operator side. I saw firsthand how games were selected, how bonuses were structured, and — critically — how player acquisition worked. That experience gave me a perspective most reviewers lack: I understand not just what players see, but what happens behind the curtain. I know why certain bonus terms exist, how wagering requirements are calibrated, and which operator practices are standard versus predatory.

In 2018, I transitioned to the editorial side of the industry. I started writing game reviews and strategy content for several iGaming publications, building a reputation for data-driven analysis that prioritised player value over operator relationships. Over the next several years, I reviewed more than 500 games across every major category — slots, crash games, live dealer, table games — and developed the testing methodology that I still use today.

I launched Chicken Train Casino in 2024 because Chicken Train deserved better coverage than it was getting. The game's mechanics are genuinely interesting — four distinct risk profiles, the Bonus Run feature, provably fair verification — but most sites treated it as an afterthought, recycling the same surface-level descriptions. I wanted to build a resource that treated the game with the same analytical rigour I would apply to any financial product, because that is essentially what gambling games are.

I am based in Manchester, UK, and when I am not dissecting game mechanics, I spend my time running (poorly), cooking (somewhat better), and arguing about football (expertly). You can reach me directly at [email protected] — I read every email and try to respond within 48 hours.

My Review Philosophy

"I never recommend a game I haven't played myself. Every rating on this site comes from real sessions with real money. If I wouldn't play it with my own bankroll, I won't tell you to play it with yours."

Our Review Process

Producing a review that actually helps players takes time. Every game and casino that appears on this site goes through a structured five-step evaluation process that I have refined over the past decade. Here is exactly how it works:

Step 1: Research the Provider

Before I play a single round, I research the game developer. For Chicken Train, that meant digging into SmartSoft Gaming's track record — their licensing, their provably fair implementation, their other titles, and their reputation among operators and players. I check regulatory databases, read player forums, and look for any history of disputes or technical issues. This step typically takes 2-3 days and establishes whether the game is worth testing at all. If the provider has unresolved integrity issues, the review stops here.

Step 2: Hands-On Testing (20+ Sessions Minimum)

This is where the real work happens. I play every game for a minimum of 20 sessions before writing a single word. For Chicken Train, I went well beyond that — more than 200 sessions across all four risk levels, across five different casino platforms. During each session, I record bet sizes, multiplier outcomes, Bonus Run triggers, session duration, and overall profit/loss. I test on both desktop and mobile. I deliberately test edge cases: maximum bets, minimum bets, disconnection recovery, auto-cashout reliability. The goal is to understand not just how the game works in theory, but how it actually performs under real conditions with real money on the line.

Step 3: Casino Evaluation

A great game on a terrible platform is still a bad experience. I evaluate every casino that offers the game I am reviewing, looking at deposit and withdrawal speed, bonus terms and wagering requirements, customer support responsiveness, licensing and regulation, mobile compatibility, and payment method availability. I make real deposits and real withdrawals — no demo-only testing for casino evaluations. The casinos I recommend on this site have passed every checkpoint. The ones I do not recommend either failed specific tests or declined to provide information I requested about their licensing or terms.

Step 4: Content Creation

Only after completing the research, gameplay testing, and casino evaluation do I begin writing. My content process starts with organising the data I have collected into clear findings, then structuring the review around what players actually need to know. I include screenshots from my own gameplay sessions, annotated to highlight the specific features being discussed. Every statistic I cite comes from my own data unless explicitly attributed to the game provider. I do not use stock descriptions, press release copy, or content from other review sites. If you read it here, I wrote it from my own experience.

Step 5: Regular Updates

Publishing a review is not the end of the process — it is the beginning of an ongoing commitment. Casino games get updated. Platforms change their terms. New features launch. I revisit every piece of content on this site regularly, typically on a monthly cycle, to verify that the information remains accurate. If a casino I previously recommended changes their withdrawal terms or a game provider releases a significant update, I update the relevant pages and note the change in the content update history. You will find a "last updated" date on every page of this site, and I take that date seriously.

Editorial Independence

Let me be straightforward about how this site makes money and why that does not compromise what I write.

Chicken Train Casino uses affiliate links. When you click a link to a casino on this site and sign up, I may earn a commission from that operator. This is standard practice in the iGaming review space, and I am transparent about it because I believe you deserve to know.

Here is what affiliate partnerships do NOT affect: my ratings, my recommendations, or my editorial decisions. The review comes first. The affiliate relationship comes second — always. I have published negative reviews of casinos that offered me partnership deals, because the player experience did not meet my standards. Those reviews are still live on this site. I have also declined lucrative partnership offers from operators whose bonus terms I considered misleading or whose licensing I could not independently verify. Turning down money is never fun, but it is necessary to maintain the editorial independence that makes this site worth reading.

My criteria for recommending a casino partner are clear and non-negotiable: they must hold a valid gambling licence from a recognised authority, offer fair and transparent bonus terms, process withdrawals within the timeframes they advertise, provide responsive customer support, and offer Chicken Train or other games I have personally tested and reviewed. If an operator fails any of these criteria, no commission rate will change my assessment.

I also want to be clear about something that should go without saying but often doesn't in this industry: no casino operator has editorial input into this site's content. No operator reviews, approves, or edits my reviews before publication. No operator has the ability to request changes to a published review. What you read here is my honest assessment, period.

Editorial Process Disclosure

Every piece of content on Chicken Train Casino follows a rigorous four-step editorial process designed to ensure accuracy, fairness, and relevance. Here is how each stage works:

1. Game Testing

   Every game featured on this site undergoes extensive hands-on testing before any content is written. For Chicken Train, this meant more than 200 individual gameplay sessions across multiple casino platforms. I test every risk level, every feature, and every edge case. I record outcomes systematically and compare observed results against provider-stated specifications. No game receives coverage on this site without a minimum of 20 dedicated testing sessions with real-money wagers.

2. RTP Verification

   Return-to-player percentages are among the most important metrics for any casino game, and they are also among the most frequently misrepresented. I verify RTP claims by comparing provider-stated figures against my own session data, checking independent testing lab certifications where available, and cross-referencing with regulatory filings. For Chicken Train, the stated 97% RTP aligned closely with my observed results across 200+ sessions — a positive sign for the game's integrity. When I find discrepancies between claimed and observed RTP, I report them clearly.

3. Casino Evaluation

   Platform quality matters as much as game quality. I evaluate casinos using real deposits, real gameplay, and real withdrawal requests. I assess licensing validity, bonus term fairness, payment processing speed, customer support quality, and mobile compatibility. Only casinos that pass every evaluation criterion earn a recommendation on this site. I re-evaluate recommended casinos quarterly and remove any that no longer meet my standards.

4. Regular Updates

   The iGaming industry moves quickly. Game providers release updates, casinos change their terms, and regulatory landscapes shift. I review every page on this site at least monthly to ensure accuracy. Significant changes are noted in each page's update history, and the "last updated" date reflects the most recent editorial review. Content that cannot be verified as current is either updated or removed.

Response time: I aim to respond to every email within 24-48 hours. During busy periods it may take slightly longer, but I read everything that comes in and I will get back to you.

A few things that help me respond faster: if you are reporting a factual error, please include the specific page URL and the section in question. If you are asking about a casino experience, details like the platform name, dates, and transaction amounts help me give you a more useful answer. And if you are an operator interested in being reviewed, please include your licensing information upfront — it saves us both time.

I do not accept guest posts, paid placements, or "sponsored content" requests. Every word on this site is written by me, based on my own research and experience. That policy is not up for discussion, regardless of the budget attached to the offer.

Affiliate Disclosure

Full transparency: Chicken Train Casino earns revenue through affiliate commissions. Here is exactly how that works and what it means for you as a reader.

How we earn: When you click an affiliate link on this site and register at a casino, we may receive a commission from that operator. This commission is paid by the casino, not by you — it does not add any cost to your deposits, bets, or withdrawals. Affiliate links on this site are marked with rel="nofollow" attributes and open in new tabs so you can always see when you are leaving chickentraincasino.com.

What this does NOT affect: Our ratings, rankings, and recommendations are based entirely on the editorial criteria described in the review process section above. Commission rates and partnership terms have zero influence on which casinos I recommend or how I rate them. I have given top ratings to casinos with lower commission rates because they offered better player experiences, and I have given poor ratings to casinos that offered premium affiliate terms but had substandard withdrawal processes or questionable bonus conditions.

Our criteria for affiliate partners:

• Valid gambling licence from a recognised regulatory authority (Curacao eGaming, Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, or equivalent)
• Transparent and fair bonus terms with reasonable wagering requirements
• Withdrawal processing within advertised timeframes, verified through my own test withdrawals
• Responsive customer support available through live chat or email
• Availability of Chicken Train or other games I have personally reviewed and tested
• No history of unresolved player complaints regarding payment or account issues

If you have concerns about affiliate relationships on this site, I welcome your questions at [email protected]. I would rather answer a difficult question honestly than have anyone doubt the integrity of what I publish.
