Meet Our Insider

Diana Tunsu, our Game Mechanics Expert & Casino Myths Debugger, has a combination of linguistic training, testing experience, and digital strategy, which allows her to connect dots most reviewers miss. She writes to help you spot patterns, understand the myths, and stop falling for engineered randomness disguised as “luck.”

Diana believes that just reporting on casino features is the bare minimum you can do as a reviewer and not what players deserve. So, she explains why they’re there and how they’re designed to affect your behavior. From game reviews to SEO-informed trend analysis, Diana gives players more than a summary; she gives them an advantage.

Why I Write for BetterGambling:

“I used to test the exact games you’re playing today. I’ve seen firsthand how small changes in design can drastically affect your outcome—without you ever noticing. I write for BetterGambling because I believe players deserve to understand what they’re really up against. Not scare tactics, not sugarcoating. Just truth. My job now is to unpack how games are structured, where they hide risk, and how you can play without falling for the illusion of control.”

Favorite Debugged Truth:

The Myth: High payout rate = better chance of winning.
The Reality: A game can have a high RTP and still clean out your balance fast. If the volatility is tuned to spike losses early—or the bonus round is locked behind hundreds of spins—your chances don’t improve with the number on the box.

Insider Cheat Sheet:

  • Don’t focus on the advertised RTP—look at spin cycles and bonus conditions.
  • Bonus round frequency is often your best indicator of value, not the payout size.
  • Watch out for reskins: many new games recycle old engines with reduced rewards.

Proven Expertise in Gambling

Diana loves to do more than just test games. She enjoys reverse-engineering the process of making them. Her contributions to BetterGambling include breakdowns of volatility manipulation, payout masking, and hidden feature nerfs.

She’s also one of the minds behind our Debugged Truths sections, busting the idea that high payout rates mean better odds or that bonus features are always worth chasing. If a slot looks “too generous,” Diana’s the one asking why—and testing until she finds out. If it spins, she’s probably picked it apart.
