About Us

Adam is the founding father of the site and has been around since the very beginning. He started Playcasinos.ca out of a college dorm room in 2013 as a personal blog documenting his favorite slots and sharing his games expertise with the world. Since then, he has seen it grow from a scrappy little site to the Canadian casino review hub we all know and love. An online slots fiend with a high tolerance for risk, Adam also has a number of surprisingly serene hobbies, including hiking, camping and fishing (the stress of playing high volatility games all day has to come out somewhere, right?) As the site has grown, his site manager duties have been delegated and he now handles sales and marketing for Playcasinos.

Emma’s first-ever Google search was “degrassi show times” (she was 9 years old.) Little did she know that this would be the start of a life-long relationship with search engines and the way they interact and fulfil user needs. Her strength lies in making Playcasinos.ca as accessible and easy for users to find as possible, finding out what questions casino users are asking, and getting them the best answers on the web. She strongly believes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as it gives her the fuel to whip Playcasinos into shape during the remaining hours. She believes burger menus are the scourge of modern website design.

Felix Boucher is an anthropology graduate from the University of Montreal. Having a keen interest in the wheres and whyfores of how people behave the way they do, Felix’s first encounter with the world of online casinos was while researching ‘why people gamble’ for a university term paper. Little did he know that after college he would end up working for a casino review website – but life always happens when we least expect it. Nowadays, he certainly has a clearer idea of why people gamble, and makes sure that people are spending their hard-earned money on casinos that treat them with the respect and rewards they deserve. Fluent in both French and English, Felix spends his days carefully curating translations for the French audience of Playcasinos.ca, and listening to music. He has a special fondness for rap québ.

Geraldine Nguyen graduated from the University of Guelph (go Gryphons!) with a degree in Commerce and a minor in English. She started out as a junior business analyst before quickly realising that there’s not that much scope for creative writing – which she sorely missed – in the industry. This led her to take on a series of copywriting jobs, including travel brochures and real estate websites. In 2016, slightly burnt out on writing about condos in York Mills, the opportunity for a casino content writer turned up on Playcasinos.ca and the rest is history. Geraldine now gets to flex her creative muscles by writing pithy slot and casino reviews, while using her analytical talents to figure out which casinos and slots are worth your time. She has a soft spot for slots with a great backstory but she loves the thrill of a high volatility game. Geraldine loves dogs and in her free time, she enjoys hanging out with her ridiculously spoilt daschund Frederick.

Marie-Claire holds a bachelor’s degree in Design from Conestoga College and therefore has a personal loathing for ugly-looking games and casinos. Seriously, people are spending money on these things, why not give them an aesthetically pleasing experience? Bad user design is her pet peeve. She likes games that have captivating graphics, but usually turns the sound off unless it’s something really special because it gets in the way of her favorite true crime podcasts. If she’s not writing scathing reviews for Playcasinos.ca, she’s probably doing freelance graphic design work and playing tennis.

For Tim, poker is the name of the game. They were one of the youngsters who got swept up during the great online poker boom of the early aughts, and their love for the game has never abated. They believe that as a game, poker gives you a lot of valuable life skills, including an impeccable poker face which comes in handy when it comes to their other great passion – playing practical jokes. Tim was one of the first contributors to Playcasinos.ca, and their talent and enthusiasm for casino games helped build up the site into what it is today. That’s why we still put up with their jokes (just kidding…or are we?) They are the person to get in touch with if you encounter any problems when navigating the site.
