Who keeps this library, and how it is kept.
What this is
Play Trump Casino is a reading room about casino games and the long history behind them. Entries are shelved by subject, numbered in the order they arrive and kept for reference.
Who writes the entries
No one by name. The prose of every entry is set down by an AI model, and the spine carries a single name, . A library that records where every fact came from should not invent the people who wrote it down, so the name on each entry is the reading room's own.
How an entry is made
From the next version on, entries begin with the question and the sources rather than the prose. We choose a question readers put to search engines that the shelves do not yet answer, then gather what can settle it: statutes and court rulings, rulebooks, regulators' and operators' own pages, official statistics and scholarly work, and good journalism where those run out.
The model writes the entry from those sources and nothing else. Each fact links to where it was found, and the entry closes with a bibliography. Before it is shelved it is examined twice: by a further model, for anything that promises a win or speaks of a hand, a table or a deposit that never took place, and by code, which looks for every figure in the text of the source it came from. An entry with a figure no source supports stays off the shelf.
Entries shelved earlier came from a simpler system that wrote from a topic brief or a news feed, without gathering the sources first.
Corrections
Every entry carries the date it was shelved, and its catalogue card notes any later revision. If something is wrong, write to us and we will amend the entry.
The Casino Guide
The Guide reads each operator under 5 headings and sets a mark out of 100. A mark of 70 or more earns a medal, and every mark is printed beside the operator's own figures that informed it. The front matter of the Guide explains how the medals are awarded.
Money
Some links to operators are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when a reader signs up through one. A commission never changes a medal or a mark.
Type and paper
Headings are set in Playfair Display and text in Libre Franklin, on a buff ground with the gold of our logo.
