Hello everyone. I'm just curious in my head (its always buzzing and swirling with questions ), how do you actually rate your own reviews, be it on casinos or games? Never mind the hows and the whys Askgamblers and all the other Casino Forums do theirs, that's not for us to know or be concerned about. Each one differs in their opinions and ratings. As for me, I try to be the Judge and the Juror in my reviews, always. Innocent until proven guilty. Play clean don't play dirty. Good game or simply filthy! "Eh? Why you looking at me?!" I'm no 'Judge Dredge'...but just read my thread... Here's how I rate my reviews. It can apply for games as well as for casinos. For those who already have their own style of rating, please share your ideas, so that all of us can see the differences and possibly come to a solution - for a better and consistent rating system. I would always start my rating with the full 10 stars, the highest possible rating, and then rate on the various aspects of the game or casino, like this (for game review): The Graphics and sound: relating directly to the standard of the graphics, background music and the sound effects of the game, including 3D rendition or without; 1 star up - excellent quality, astonishing 3D graphics; No star up/down - very good quality, as expected; 1 star down - below expectation, quality average or not good; 2 stars down - bad overall quality of graphics and/or sound. The Paytable: relating to the overall win values for each symbol, including win values for Wilds and Scatters if any; 1 star up - higher than usual win values; No star up/down - good win values, as can be expected; 1 star down - below expectation or average win values; 2 stars down - very low win values (highest paying symbol paying only 500x line bet and below). The Features: relating to the number of special features offered by the game, the more features the better; 1 star up - excellent features, free spins, bonus games, randomly activated wins, etc; No star up/down - Nothing new or additional than the standard features that can be expected; 1 star down - below expectation, only 1 or 2 features available in the game; 2 stars down - No special features being offered other than a straight game. The Game Play: relating to how the game plays with real money (fun play not counted); 1 star up - excellent game play with frequent payouts, good wins and feature games triggering; No star up/down - reasonably good and satisfying game play, with regular payouts and average wins; 1 star down - below expectation game play, with few payouts and lots of empty spins; 2 stars down - bad overall game play, hardly any payouts, credits just go down the drain. The Overall Experience: whether you enjoyed playing the game or otherwise, whether won or lost; 1 star up - thoroughly enjoyed the game and payouts, made a win/s; No star up/down - satisfying game play, won some lost some; 1 star down - satisfying game play but made no wins, or just losses; 2 stars down - bad overall experience, wouldn't want to play the game anymore.​Care to share your ideas please?
