Tyler Hayes

Tyler Hayes is a games editor at Arcade Spot, where he looks after the casino and slots catalog. That covers the table games — roulette, baccarat, poker, blackjack — and the video slots that sit alongside them, plus a share of our HTML5 and multiplayer titles. Roughly 1,000 games on this site fall under his beat.

Tyler has been with Arcade Spot since 2025. Casino games are the part of our catalog that needs the most careful handling, and that is most of what the job is. Every title he publishes has to state plainly what it is: free to play, played with play-money credits, nothing to buy, nothing to win.

He scores games against Arcade Spot's published rating criteria — the same five weighted measures used across the catalog, with the score assigned by the editor who played the game. On casino titles the emphasis falls on clarity of rules, honest labelling, and how a game behaves during a losing run.
