Senior Author & Editor

As one of CasinoAlpha's seasoned reviewers, Adina Minculescu approaches gambling not as a game of chance but as a system of signs waiting to be decoded. "If the terms are unreadable," she often notes, "they're probably unfair." Through her structured analysis and semiotic lens, Adina doesn't just help you understand how casinos work—she reveals why they're designed that way, empowering you to navigate the system rather than being navigated by it.
