From prison
to $32M.

The full arc — juvenile detention, a pharmacy empire, and the day he decided the casino was just another system to beat.

The Man Behind the Legend

He studied the house like a business.

Michael David Meiterman — known to the world as Mikki Mase — didn't start in luxury casinos. He started in juvenile detention in New Jersey, and spent close to six years incarcerated before he turned twenty-one.

By his mid-twenties he'd built and sold a network of 300+ pharmacies and rehab facilities across Florida — walking away with millions. But the thrill, not the money, was the point.

In 2018 he sat down at his first high-stakes baccarat table with a cold observation: the house edge is mathematical, but execution is human. He didn't gamble — he ran a system, tracked patterns, managed his bankroll, and walked away on his number.

"The difference between me and everyone else at the table is that I know when to walk away — and I actually do it."

What sets him apart from every gambling "guru": he shows the losses too. The $1.5M net loss at Wynn. The $938K in poker. Transparency is the whole flex.
