What happens when I press play on Shield Of Sparta?
fernspins.co.nz takes the click and Here2Win Casino opens the pokie. The partner address stays off the article.
How many Pragmatic Play pokies are on this site?

So a Kiwi player can see the split. Published facts, such as the studio and any RTP, sit on one side. Gaps and limits sit on the other, including the fact that Fern Spins is not the cashier.
Is the text under the title the preview?
Read it as a card, not as a tip for Wellington. The pokie does not know the city, and the page does not pretend it does.
