  • A true slot machine and gambling show!

    As a small slot influencer that has a YouTube and TikTok channel called Slots Iowa, I have searched for a podcast that covers trending slot and gambling issues. This show is excellent and I only wish it was offered more. Mike obviously has a great deal of experience with gaming and Hillary’s expertise in social media shines. Their choices for guests are outstanding and I learn so much.

    Keep up the great work, I look forward to every new show!

  • Tough one to rate

    Love the podcast and the latest episode content was great.

    My only complaint is since the MaxBet Podcast reboot the audio has been horrible. Several episodes I just gave up on and didn’t even finish them. Between the two of you and the guests the dialogue volume is just all over the place. Used to sound so good and hem Landon was on the show
