I’m Gregory Sanchez, and if you had told me a decade ago that I’d be spending my days writing about casinos and the psychology of gambling, I would’ve laughed it off. Born in a quiet corner of Texas, I grew up surrounded by farmland, fresh air, and folks who believed luck was what you made of it. My journey to this industry, to understanding the flashing lights and allure of casino floors, was an unexpected turn that came after years of searching for my place in the world.
I spent my early career chasing a wide range of ambitions. After college, I tried my hand at journalism, covering local news, dabbling in human-interest pieces, and writing about anything that felt meaningful. Yet, as much as I enjoyed the work, I felt like I was constantly missing the thrill that made other writers so passionate. In a leap of faith, I decided to take a break and took a solo trip to Las Vegas—a place I’d never visited but had always intrigued me. One night in a casino, watching people play with their heads and hearts, I realized there was a world of stories within those walls. The way people played, their expressions, and their mannerisms fascinated me, sparking a deep interest in casino psychology, games, and the culture around it.
I started writing about casinos shortly after that trip, not as an expert but as a curious outsider. My articles took off; people connected with my conversational tone, my tendency to tell stories rather than simply list facts. I didn’t just want to talk about the best games or the odds—I wanted to dig into why we’re drawn to them, the skill and strategy behind them, and the subtle ways casinos influence our decisions. What I discovered was a deep appreciation for the skill-based games, the psychological nuances, and the real stories behind casino culture.
Today, I’m a full-time writer on the topic, striving to offer a unique, relatable perspective on what can feel like an elusive world. I aim for every article to feel like a conversation, with a little bit of data, a little storytelling, and a lot of honesty. So, while my name might not carry the weight of a seasoned gambler or a high-stakes player, my journey has been one of uncovering stories—and it’s those stories that I hope will keep readers coming back.
