[Marianna Mavromatidi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I honestly did not believe that I would enjoy a novel about casino life so much. To be precise, as a woman, I did not think that women with that kind of addiction (gambling) could be so familiar to the rest of us. The power play between two gamblers, that on the same time are lovers, is intriguing and in a way makes us think about all kind of fixations one might have and explore the reasons behind it. I really loved the pace of Argiro’s writing, loved her narration style. Loved it!

I, as an avid casino player, read the book with interest. When I first started playing online casino https://1st-casino.net/, I read a lot of literature on how to become successful in this game. And you know, I learned one simple thing that you just need to rely on your own strength and experience.
