A Win After Loss

[Maureen Hancock]

I lost my job early this year and was looking for side activities to keep my mind sharp and not fall into depression. I’m not a gambler by nature, but I enjoy numbers and low-stakes strategy games like blackjack. A Reddit post about the new digital features of River Rock Casino led me to explore their offerings here: https://riverrockcasinocanada.com. I started with the demo versions before putting in any money, just to understand the flow and verify it wasn’t predatory. What really caught my eye was how well the live dealer games were run—no lags, clear rules, no shady delays. It’s weird to say, but this little ritual of playing two nights a week kept me disciplined and gave me something structured while I was rebuilding.
