Christopher Bowler
Christopher plays blackjack and poker, and when there is no table in front of him he is at a chessboard or working through a page of mathematical puzzles. That combination is the whole method of this site: he looks at a casino game the way he looks at a chess position, as a set of rules with a correct move for every situation and a known cost for every mistake. He plays at the casinos he writes about, with his own money, and keeps the deposit, withdrawal and lobby screenshots from every test.
On BlackJack AU he writes the rankings, the game guides and the casino reviews, maintains the basic strategy chart and the live table comparisons, and answers reader corrections through the contact page. The seven criteria he uses are set out on the how we rank page.
