"When I am not writing, you’ll find me exploring pretty landscapes. Whether painting to build imaginary mountains on canvas or trekking real ones with Samson, our overenthusiastic family dog with a personality big enough to match his name, I am happiest when creating art and hiking in the wild. Painting lets me invent worlds I could seemingly walk into once I’m done, while outdoors remind me that Mother Nature’s already perfected hers."

"I learned the fine line of gambling during a college poker night, an experience that has defined my approach to the pastime to date. After chasing losses wiped my entire bankroll, one of my buddies helped me reframe the activity as “buying a movie ticket.” You pay for the thrill of watching the film, and if they happen to be handing out tokens while leaving the theater, that’s great, but it is not the point. 
His analogy stuck: just as you wouldn’t risk your mortgage for a film, risking financial security for wins is folly. This mindset—prioritizing entertainment over profit—guides how I approach gameplay today, keeping me vigilant against the traps of gambling addiction."

Q&A with Lucas Dunn

Keno. With house edges often as high as 25-35% and the lack of strategy wiggle room, significant losses are bound to compound over time. 

I am fluent in Swahili. As a New Jersey native, most people are surprised at my ability to speak East Africa’s lingua franca with ease. I continue to learn the language through my Kenyan wife as she teaches it to our two young daughters.

The availability of demo versions for real money games. Free-play modes allow the testing of game mechanics without financial risk—a vital step for identifying titles aligned with your needs. Without demo versions, you face a costly trial-and-error process. 

I make it a routine to read gambling industry-related publications, magazines, and newsletters regularly. I also subscribe to gambling-specific publications, social media pages, and online forums on platforms like Reddit. 

The worst gambling tip I’ve gotten has to be, “Double down after losses—a big win is due.” This fallacy ignores the independence of each round’s results in games like slots or roulette, where outcomes are random. The myth leads to chasing losses that can quickly escalate from minor setbacks to catastrophic debts and encourage addiction cycles.
