About Sofia Larsen

With a background in cultural anthropology and a lifelong fascination with games of chance, Sofia has spent over a decade documenting how gambling has shaped societies — from ancient Roman dice games to the modern casino floors of Macau and Las Vegas. Her research blends historical rigor with accessible storytelling, making complex topics captivating for every reader.

Sofia writes about responsible play and about the psychology behind a player’s decisions — the gambler’s fallacy, the illusion of control, the way a near miss is built to feel like a win. She does not work for gambling operators, and this site states where its revenue comes from on the terms page.
