On the Feb. 26, 2026 episode of Casino Reports' weekly gaming-biz podcast, I welcome Desert Degens CEO Mike Jackness for a conversation about how the serial entrepreneur became a slots influencer, the pros and cons of putting "degens" in the name, how slots influencers make money, what educating viewers about optimal slots play entails, and more.
