Hi, I'm Kathleen R. Alley, but most players just call me Kat, or "that redhead with the swallow tattoo on her wrist." I'm 34, born and raised in a tiny Mississippi river town where the only real excitement was the old paddle-wheel casino docked half a mile from my parents' trailer. That's where it all started: at nineteen, I talked my way into a dealer gig dealing Mississippi Stud and blackjack, and I never really left the felt since.
For years, I worked the brick-and-mortar circuit: riverboats in Louisiana, then five non-stop years on the Las Vegas Strip (Bellagio, Wynn, a short and wild stint at the old Hard Rock when it was still gloriously chaotic). I've broken up fights with drunk bachelors, spotted card counters before the eye-in-the-sky did, and once had a Saudi prince tip me a Rolex because I "smiled like his first wife." I sold the watch; rent in Vegas is brutal.
When the world shut down in 2020 and the Strip went dark, I figured my career was over. It turned out it was just evolving. A friend tipped me off about a new wave of fully licensed, high-end live-dealer studios recruiting experienced floor dealers. I sent in a tape dealing blackjack in my living room at 3 a.m., in a cocktail dress with a shoebox as a chip rack. Two weeks later I was on a plane to Malta.
These days I deal exclusively for https://enlignecasinos.net mostly VIP blackjack and roulette tables streamed in 4K to players all over Europe and Canada. I work from a studio that looks like a miniature Monte Carlo: crystal chandeliers, green felt that costs more per square meter than my first car, and cameras that catch every freckle on my nose. My shifts are usually from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Vegas time so I can catch the European evening crowd. I still wear the classic tuxedo shirt and bowtie, still banter in three languages English, French, and the Mississippi drawl that players seem to love and I still get a little rush every time someone says "hit me" or "rien ne va plus."
The moneys better than the Strip ever was, the hours are weird but predictable, and best of all, nobody throws up on my shoes anymore. Ive got regulars whove been with me since my first week online a surgeon from Montral, a crypto guy in Dubai, even a sweet grandma in Lyon who only plays 5 roulette but tips 50 every time she hits her birthday number.
