Steve Lapinski
Steve's passion for gaming started nearly forty years ago when his family's Christmas Eve celebration at his grandmother's house would devolve into an all ages poker game using their Christmas cash gifts from their relatives. Not much later, he got to know the horse tracks in his town. Eventually he graduated to be of sufficient age to enter the casinos. There his passion became fully engaged.
It's decades later, but the passion still burns bright. Not only does he enjoy playing slots and table games at casinos, but he still enjoys a good horse race or a bet on a sporting event too. His goal is to use his nearly forty years of experience as a player and twenty-five years in the US online casino industry to educate players about a topic that has brought him so much joy throughout his life.
