Priya Anand writes the pages on this site about live dealer tables, narrative slot design, pre-session limits and what research on attention actually supports.
She is a byline for this site and holds no position with any casino operator. Earlier versions of this page implied access to player data and testing programmes that do not exist, and that has been removed.
Her pages were rewritten in October 2026. The largest change is on the live dealer page, which used to report win rates, best times and an average session profit from a thirty-day test that never happened.
“A thirty-day sample tells you about variance. It cannot tell you a win rate.” — Priya Anand
How Priya works
Where a claim rests on research, the study gets named. Where it rests on nothing, the page says that plainly rather than filling the gap.
