When you've been following PC gaming hardware for as long as I have, there are certain norms that have been around for so long, that it's difficult to shake them off. For example, in the CPU market, traditional wisdom when I was younger was that AMD was often the plucky underdog, snipping at Intel's heels.

Over the past few years though, the metric seems to have seriously shifted. A look at Amazon's right now reveals a top ten domination of AMD processors, with Intel's best effort scraping in at number 12 (via ). Topping the list is the AM4-socketed , a Zen 3 CPU that (at its current price of ) seems to be treading the price/performance line rather nicely.

If I were a time-traveller, showing Young Andy™ this list would blow his tiny little mind. Still, the times they are a'changing—and if this list is any indication of the market overall, it looks like Intel is on the backfoot when it comes to CPU sales this time around.

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.

I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.
