I’m Lisa Hubbard, a Canadian writer who has found her passion in an unexpected place—the world of casinos. Born and raised in a small town in Ontario, I’ve always been fascinated by storytelling, though I never imagined that my journey would lead me into the glitzy, unpredictable realm of gambling.
Growing up, I was the kind of kid who always had a book in her hand, and I knew from a young age that I wanted to write. My early dreams leaned toward fiction, but life has a way of surprising us. After finishing my degree in English Literature, I found myself working for a marketing agency. One of my first assignments? Writing promotional content for a local casino. At first, I thought it was just another job, but as I delved deeper, I realized how complex and intriguing the industry was.
What began as simple copywriting turned into a full-time career. I started writing articles, guides, and reviews about casinos—covering everything from the psychology of gambling to strategies for maximizing your odds. The more I wrote, the more I realized there’s a real art to understanding casinos, and it’s not all just about bright lights and big wins. There’s a culture, a history, and a community that makes it such a fascinating subject to explore.
Canada has been the perfect backdrop for my career. The country’s unique mix of cultures and its growing casino industry have given me plenty of material to work with. I’ve visited countless casinos, from the bustling halls of Montreal’s Casino de Montréal to the intimate charm of smaller establishments in Alberta. Each experience has enriched my understanding of the industry, and I try to bring that depth into my writing.
Of course, life isn’t all about casinos. When I’m not researching or writing, I spend time exploring Canada’s vast landscapes. I love hiking through our national parks, especially when I need a break from the flashing lights and the noise. Nature offers a balance to the high-energy world I write about, giving me the clarity and peace I need to stay creative.
I’m proud of the career I’ve built, but I’m even prouder of the community I’ve connected with through my writing. My readers—whether they’re seasoned gamblers or curious newcomers—reach out to me with questions, stories, and insights of their own. It’s a reminder that, even in an industry like this, it’s all about human connection.
So, here I am—still writing, still exploring, and still learning. The casino world may be my niche, but at heart, I’m just a storyteller, always on the lookout for the next great story to tell.
