About
I’m Viola Jackson, a writer with a curious penchant for casinos—not for the slot machines or the high-stakes poker games, but for the stories and dynamics they hold within their walls. My fascination with casinos began quite by accident, on a business trip to Las Vegas about a decade ago. I was working in the finance sector back then, spending most of my days glued to spreadsheets, crunching numbers that hardly felt human. But one evening, as I wandered into a casino on the strip, I saw a world of stories unfold before me—players who came alive at the blackjack table, first-time gamblers clinging nervously to a single token, and seasoned regulars who knew the odds like old friends. It was electrifying, and I knew right away that I wanted to understand it all.
That night planted the seed, but it would be years before I’d leave finance to embrace writing full-time. In between managing projects and meeting deadlines, I began researching the gaming world, devouring everything I could find about the psychology of gambling, casino operations, and the allure of luck. I took notes, spoke to people in the industry, and eventually wrote my first article about the evolution of casino games. Surprisingly, it gained traction, and I began receiving more and more opportunities to write on the topic. The more I wrote, the more I realized there was a depth to the industry that most people didn’t see. And so, I pivoted fully into writing, blending my analytical skills with storytelling to bring casino culture to life in a way that both new players and seasoned gamers could enjoy.
Now, my articles cover everything from the history of famous casinos to the emerging role of artificial intelligence in the industry. I love breaking down complex topics into everyday language because I believe the world of casinos should be accessible to everyone—whether they’re just curious or ready to play. I always keep my tone conversational, adding in quirky examples, relatable stories, and insights that go beyond the typical “tips and tricks.” Writing is a conversation, and I’m always speaking to the reader directly, hoping to bridge that gap between the unknown and the familiar.
My career may have begun in finance, but my heart has found a home among the lights and stories of the casino world. Writing about casinos has become more than just a job; it’s a window into human behavior, risk, and the timeless thrill of chance. I look forward to each new topic, each article, and each opportunity to invite my readers into the casino world that I have come to know and love so deeply. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll see you at the tables—though I’ll be the one with a notebook, jotting down yet another story to share.
