Fabian Rehbein
What he writes about
Fabian Rehbein has been writing about how online games work since 2018: reels, ways and cascades, what an RTP of 96% actually means, and why two slots with almost identical return figures can feel like opposites. At casino-nines.com he is responsible for the game pages, the volatility comparison and the way bonus offers are assessed from the game catalogue's point of view.
How he works
Before writing about a game, he reads its info panel and paytable in full. Where the operator offers a demo mode, he plays the base game with play money to get a feel for pace and hit frequency. Developer, RTP, volatility and maximum win are only published when the studio states them or several independent sources agree. Where that is not possible, the page says so, as it does for Aviator, Pinata Wins and Wild Bounty Showdown.
What you will not find in his writing
- Systems and "hot hours": random number generators have no clock and no memory.
- Promises of profit: no strategy removes the house edge.
- Invented numbers: no payout times, bonus sizes or test results without evidence.
- Statements on the operator's behalf: whether an operator is licensed where you live is something you check in your regulator's register.
Four questions behind every game page
- How do wins form: lines, ways, cascades or a rising multiplier?
- Where does the value sit: in the base game or a rare feature?
- What does the volatility mean for a session budget?
- What must readers check inside the game because it varies by version?
Why one catalogue, in depth
Rather than skimming a hundred operators, this site concentrates on one catalogue and explains it thoroughly. That makes it possible to update game pages as soon as developers publish new details or a game turns up in a different RTP version. The Nines review pulls the findings together.
Corrections and contact

About the author
Fabian Rehbein is neither a lawyer nor a mathematician but an editor who reads the rules before writing about a game. His texts explain how mechanics work and say plainly what cannot be verified. For legal questions he points to the relevant authorities, and for help with problem gambling to services such as Gambling Therapy.
Away from the desk he enjoys board games with open probabilities, games where you can see the dice before you commit. He applies the same idea to his work: show the rules first, then leave the decision to the reader.
