Welcome to SPODEK!

Hey there, friends of casino games and anagrams! My name is Jay Howells – a 30 something lad from Leicester, who likes playing slot machines… and unscrambling anagrams. My two passions led me to picking this odd name for my blog.

chipsSo, what’s a spodek? Is it a plane or a bird? Is it an inside joke or a term? Is it the latest slang word you haven’t heard yet? Or, maybe just maybe, it’s a word in some strange, foreign language like Russian… Did you go through this mental association game yourself or did you quickly google it to find that there is a famous arena in Poland (kind of like a Polish Wembley) bearing the same name and that the word “spodek” means a “saucer” in Polish.

So, what’s the link between a saucer, an arena and my blog? Well, the arena is called a saucer, or spodek, because it resembles a flying saucer. However, my blog’s name has nothing to do with that arena or with the Polish word.

crapsThe name of my blog is actually an abbreviation and as such should be written in caps. SPODEK stands for “Slot Players Online Discover Every Know-How” and yes! it was born out of my love for slot machines. I plan on leaving no stones unturned in my search for the ultimate casino experience for slot lovers.

I’m a passionate player of casino games and have been such for over a decade. I love researching and reading about RTPs, tricks and tips on beating the dealer, and anything else that would give me an advantage over the casino. The casino always wins in the end, they say, but we’ll see about that. Stick around for fun and informative articles on anything that has to do with casino games and, who knows, we might start writing history together.
