New Slot Releases January 2026: First Impressions from an Irish Player
January 2026 brought a load of new slots to Irish casinos. I've played them all so you can decide which ones are worth your time and money.
Seán Kelly is the youngest member of the Irish Fortune team, bringing infectious energy and a fresh perspective to online casino content. At just 23, Seán has already built a following of over 50,000 across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts by turning casino experiences into entertaining, shareable content.
Growing up in Temple Bar, Dublin, Seán developed an appreciation for storytelling and Irish humour from the heart of Ireland's entertainment district. After studying Digital Media at IADT Dún Laoghaire, he quickly realised that the iGaming industry needed a voice that spoke to younger audiences—players who wanted entertainment, not corporate marketing speak.
Seán's content style is unmistakable: fast-talking commentary, genuine reactions, hilarious "Irish luck" moments, and brutally honest takes on wins, losses, and everything in between. He doesn't pretend every session is a jackpot—he shows the real rollercoaster of online gaming, complete with the groans, the celebrations, and the "sure look, that's gambling" moments that Irish audiences instantly relate to.
His column "Seán's Sessions" has become the go-to destination for readers who want entertaining, no-nonsense casino content. Whether he's testing a new slot release, attempting roulette strategies, or reviewing mobile casino apps, Seán brings the same energy: cheeky, authentic, and never taking himself too seriously.
What sets Seán apart is his ability to make casino content genuinely entertaining without being preachy. He promotes responsible gambling naturally through his content—showing the ups AND downs, setting session limits on camera, and always reminding his audience that it's entertainment, not a get-rich-quick scheme.
When he's not creating content, you'll find Seán at GAA matches (die-hard Dubs supporter), exploring Dublin's street food scene, or perfecting his FIFA skills for the inevitable tournament content.

Everyone shows their wins. Nobody talks about the disasters. Here are my worst live casino moments—and what I learned from each cringe-worthy experience.
Do roulette strategies actually work? I put my money where my mouth is and tested the Martingale, Fibonacci, D'Alembert, and more with €200 of real cash.
I took €100 and played the most popular slots available to Irish players, tracking every spin, every bonus, and every emotional rollercoaster. Here's exactly what happened.
After spending a month testing every major casino app available to Irish players, here's what actually works, what's a disaster, and which apps deserve space on your phone.
