Sean’s verdict
Which one should you pick?
Both casinos are on the shortlist, so the question is fit rather than safety. The 100-point sheet leans to Empire Spins at 92/100. Read each review in full — the scorecard tells you where each one wins, the reviews tell you what playing there is actually like.
