Elena Moraes

Elena Moraes is the slots and live casino editor at RoyalCasinoAdvisor. Her focus is on the actual product experience — how the live lobby performs under real network conditions, whether slot loading times match what's advertised, and whether the mobile experience is genuinely comparable to desktop or just a stripped-back version.

Before joining the editorial team, she spent several years working in live casino environments in Europe. That experience shapes how she evaluates live casino products: she's seen what the production looks like from both sides of the table.

Elena runs all live casino testing for this site. For each casino, that means sessions of at least 30 minutes on four table types, on both desktop broadband and 4G mobile, across multiple testing cycles. She logs buffering events, frame drops and dealer response times as part of the process — not just impressions.

Her Evolution vs Pragmatic Play Live comparison took three months and roughly 90 hours of real sessions to complete. She's direct about what she found and what she didn't.

What Elena tests

• Live casino streaming — buffering, frame drops, resolution on 4G
• Lobby depth — table count, variety, peak-hour availability
• Slot loading speed — measured on iOS and Android separately
• Mobile live casino — whether the full product is available, not a reduced lobby
• Game show quality — production, host performance, game mechanics
