About

I’m Laura O’Neal, and if you’re reading this, it probably means you’re curious about who writes all those casino articles you’ve come across. Well, here’s a little peek behind the curtain into my world. I live in the breathtaking, sometimes bitterly cold, yet always fascinating landscape of Canada, a country I absolutely love. Its vast, rugged wilderness is the perfect counterbalance to the world I write about daily: casinos.

I didn’t start as a casino writer; it’s actually a role I stumbled into. Growing up, I was the type of person always looking for that unique angle in everything. I’d be the one reading the last few pages of a book first, not because I wanted spoilers but because I loved understanding the “why” behind a story. This curiosity eventually led me to a career in writing, where I’ve been fortunate enough to dive into topics that others might overlook.

So, why casinos? It’s not just about the games, though I’m not going to pretend I don’t enjoy a good round of poker every now and then. Writing about casinos, for me, is like exploring the uncharted territories of human psychology, history, and strategy. Casinos are these intricate ecosystems, each with its own stories and nuances. I love peeling back the layers to reveal the fascinating mix of luck, skill, and, sometimes, pure grit involved. Through my articles, I try to take my readers beyond the shiny slot machines and the glamorous lights, showing them the “why” behind each spin, each roll, each bet.

When I’m not writing, you’ll likely find me hiking one of Canada’s breathtaking trails, diving into a good mystery novel, or just enjoying a cup of tea as the snow falls outside. Canada might be my heart’s home, but I love the thrill of visiting new places—whether it’s in the real world or on the casino floors I research so diligently.

I guess you could say my journey, like a casino game, has been a mix of luck and strategy. And, just like in my writing, I’m always looking for that unique angle, that fresh perspective. So, here’s to many more articles, more spins, and more stories to share. Thanks for reading, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll cross paths on the casino floor someday.
