About

My name is Victor Mathis, and I have spent most of my life navigating the intricate world of casinos. Born in Toronto, Canada, I grew up far from the flashing lights and ringing slot machines, but somehow, I always knew I’d find my way into that vibrant universe.

As a writer, my career began in unexpected places. I studied journalism in college, thinking I’d spend my days reporting hard news or perhaps diving into the world of politics. But life has a way of steering you in directions you never anticipated. A few years out of school, I was given an assignment to write about a local casino for a travel magazine. What started as a one-off piece became my fascination. The way casinos operate—the psychology behind every game, the strategies players employ, and the larger-than-life stories that unfold on the casino floor—captivated me.

Now, I write about casinos for a living. My articles explore every angle of this world: from in-depth reviews of the latest slot machines and table games, to the ever-evolving online casino landscape, to the stories of those who chase the thrill of winning big. I’ve spent time in some of the most iconic casinos across North America and Europe, but it’s not always the glitz and glamour that I focus on. I like to get into the nuts and bolts of how the industry works—the math behind the odds, the technology that powers the games, and the trends that shape the future of gambling.

Living in Canada has its own perks for someone in my line of work. While we have our share of land-based casinos, there’s also a growing interest in online gambling here, and I’ve been fortunate enough to be at the forefront of that wave. The Canadian regulatory environment is constantly changing, and I’ve made it a point to stay informed, offering readers insights not just on where to play, but how to do so safely and smartly.

When I’m not writing about casinos, I enjoy the quieter side of life in Canada. The country’s natural beauty provides the perfect escape from the high-energy world I often find myself writing about. Whether it’s hiking in the Rockies or simply enjoying a peaceful evening by one of Ontario’s many lakes, I always find time to recharge.

Writing has given me a front-row seat to an industry that’s ever-evolving, and I plan to continue documenting its stories for as long as I can. There’s always something new to learn, another game to review, and more tales from the casino floor to tell.
