Elina Virtanen

Elina Virtanen writes for Goldante about jackpots, the figures behind games and how to check the source of a winner story. She does not work for the operator and sees no player accounts.

Her articles set out what a jackpot is made of, what chasing one costs and what actually happens after a large win.

She does not publish winner stories with names and sums, because they cannot be verified. Genuine large wins are announced by the studio or the operator in their own release.

The example figures in the articles are calculated, not measured, and are written so a reader can repeat the calculation with their own numbers.
