Bio
Mega Moolah, Starburst and other V1's of sequels were roaming casino top charts when Nik typed his first words about online slots. Little did he know to be carouselled for two decades to tell you another story in the universe of provocative themes, horizonless win-lines and bamboozling mechanics. He promises to stop writing when Pragmatic releases their last Big Bass game.
