Marcus J. Holloway
Background
Marcus has spent twelve years covering US gambling — first as a trade journalist, then as an editorial lead. Before journalism, he spent six years inside a Las Vegas casino, most recently as a floor supervisor on the Bellagio's high-limit table-games floor. That operational experience underpins how he writes about casino product: what the cashier menu actually looks like behind the curtain, why bonus terms are structured the way they are, what counts as a legitimate complaint versus a routine player frustration.
He is the lead byline on Plaquemines Casino Guide's main hub page, state-by-state guides, and casino reviews. He oversees the editorial team's review methodology and signs off on every published casino ranking.
