Kris POV

Casinos are one of the greatest incomes in the world economy. From Las Vegas all the way to Italy, they all have the same function,bring luck to the people who decide to visit them as well as bring bankruptcy and addiction to a whole society.

Casinos are the definition of a bittersweet place.

I'm going to be really honest, I've always hated casinos. Now you may be wondering why you open a casino then right?

Well the irony, being a woman fresh out of college and going through the obstacles of life and daily life is not easy at all but me being me of course deciding to prove everybody wrong. Business has always been a field where men were renowned and women had been belittled through the years, sadly that hasn't changed even though we are in the 21th century. So me Kris Bianchi Rossi decided to open a casino but no one would now who manage that casino because I wasn't up for men telling me that I wasn't capable of managing it. Plus it added to the mystery and let them at the edge of their seats trying to figure out who I was. Is a game of cat and mouse, a petty chase in my opinion. Now after 5 years of its opening this establishment has been one of the most prestigious and renowned casinos in all Las Vegas, a way to inflate my ego of course.

Now this casino is not all rainbows and butterflies this casino has a history with gambling money under the tables. At first sight you see a normal place with slots and a poker tables but underneath everything we gamble dirty money and even have our own private club, but that 's just for exclusive members of course. We have a sign outside the door which says "private poker room, members only" somehow I have to keep noisy people out of my business, this is only members, not everyone has the privilege to enter.

Underground we have a lot of poker tables of course but in this part you can gamble dirty money, drink, smoke, consume any type of substance you want to, and also have fun being sneaky. One thing that I've learned through the years of playing poker is that you have to keep an actual poker face and know your moves, precisement is the key to a successful match. Also try to not get distracted because I did that once and it ended with me losing almost 3 thousand dollars, yeah it wasn't a good experience.

Poker is a mental sport at least that is how I like to describe it. You have to analyze every move made by your opponents also it requires years of practice to reach your goal of being a great pokerist. I have been learning the tricks and secrets to poker since I decided to open up this casino and it was all thanks to someone from my past that I really don't like to mention right now, maybe another time.

So, after maybe 3 years of hardcore practice I reached the point where every match I played was a secured win,nobody could win against me. So, back to my experience, I'm known as "Orange Strike" you may be wondering why I've been given this name well I really don't know. I came to the conclusion that maybe it was because I mainly wear orange clothing in every match I play and that in less than 3 minutes the pockets of every player will be empty, money for me.
