Paul Miller
Lead Slot Researcher & Editorial Writer
paul@gameslike.co.ukPaul specialises in analysing online slot games, software providers and the slot series released by UK-facing developers. His work focuses on helping readers understand how games compare beyond marketing claims, using RTP data, volatility, mechanics and release history to build comprehensive guides.
Rather than reviewing individual casinos, Paul concentrates on the games themselves — tracking how popular slot franchises evolve over time and identifying the differences between sequels, Megaways editions, jackpot versions and licensed releases.
A foundation in data
Paul's background is in computer science and data analysis. Early in his career he worked with large consumer datasets, producing comparison reports for finance and technology websites — analysing structured data, verifying published information and building the comparison tables that helped readers make sense of crowded markets.
Comparison publishing
He went on to spend several years as a content strategist for comparison websites across finance, software and consumer technology, developing editorial systems that organised thousands of products into easily comparable categories. That experience — information architecture, structured data and search-intent research — still shapes how Games Like guides are built today.
The move into slots
After a decade in mainstream comparison publishing, Paul moved into the gambling industry, concentrating on slot developers rather than casinos. He built and maintains a reference database covering thousands of slot titles — RTP variations, mechanics, mathematical models, release histories and availability across UK operators.
Role at Games Like
As senior editorial researcher at XON Media Ltd, Paul oversees slot-series research and editorial accuracy across the company's gambling comparison websites: researching new releases, verifying RTP information, comparing mechanics across sequels, documenting franchise histories and fact-checking articles before publication. His work aims to help players understand how games differ rather than simply recommending where to play.

Editorial philosophy
“Every slot has a story beyond its artwork. By looking at RTP, mechanics, release history and mathematical design, readers can understand why two games that appear similar often play very differently. My goal is to replace marketing hype with clear, evidence-based comparisons.”
Unless an article states a dated hands-on method, Paul’s work should be understood as documented editorial research rather than a claim of real-money play.
