Career

It was unlikely that Sean McBurney would get into the gaming industry. He originally worked as an engineer at General Motors and didn't think much of casinos at all. Sean then went to Stanford University and was hired at Harrah's Entertainment as assistant to the president under Gary Loveman. He worked at several hotels in Las Vegas where he learned the Total Rewards system. Sean McBurney later became in charge of VIP programs for Caesars before becoming general manager of the company's flagship Caesars Palace.

Caesars Entertainment is one of the most diversified gaming entertainment providers in the world and the most geographically extensive U.S. casino-entertainment company. Since its founding in Reno, Nevada in 1937, Caesars Entertainment has grown through the development of new resorts, expansions and acquisitions. Caesars Entertainment resorts operate primarily under the Caesars®, Harrah's® and Horseshoe® brand names. The Caesars Entertainment portfolio also includes the Caesars Entertainment UK family of casinos.

Caesars Palace brought a sense of grandeur to the Las Vegas Strip when it was built in 1966, and we are proud to continue that legacy.

Scientific editor and fact checker

Alexander, born in 1979 in Rostov, has been interested in maths and logic since childhood, dreaming of becoming an engineer. However, in the late 1990s, after discovering online casinos, he switched to studying gambling, recognising the complex mathematical systems involved. Working for a regional newspaper (from correspondent to deputy editor-in-chief), he learnt fact-checking and critical analysis - skills that later became the basis for his work on Casinoz. Alexander checks every detail, from the RTP of slots to the terms of bonuses, demanding documentary proof. Colleagues call him the ‘microscope man’ for his meticulousness in verifying data. He not only exposes inaccuracies, but also teaches players strategies, bankroll management and how to recognise unscrupulous casinos, turning gambling from a game into a science. Thousands of users trust his recommendations, knowing that behind every word is a week of testing and years of expertise.
