He started off as any ordinary gambler, broke, looking for an easy way to make some money. Luck was on his side throughout his long journey, and he managed to rack up millions of sweet dollars just by gambling, and in particular, dice betting. We met up with him on his newly purchased mansion, on the well known luxurious Vinewood Hills.
Editor Tyrone Walton-Howard: Greetings Mr. Stacks, thank you for joining us on this interview.
Mr. Max Stacks: It's a pleasure to be here, thank you for having me.
Editor Tyrone Walton-Howard: Initally, I'd like to ask, how did this gambling addiction begin?
Mr. Max Stacks: Well, my gambling addiction started when I was 17, in my last years of high school. Back then, people were betting all day on fights, where you could win quite a stash by betting on the stronger fighter. Thanks to speculations I have been able to make a stash, and this lead me towards the real world of gambling, with dicebetting and blackjack. I didn't stop betting when I got out of school, and despite the fact that betting on a dice is way more difficult than betting on the strongest classmate, I always had this behaviour towards the game.
Editor Tyrone Walton-Howard: Have you ever been in debt due to gambling?
Mr. Max Stacks: I've been a couple of times, especially in the early stages. I didn't have the hand for the gambling, I hadn't learned the tricks. After learning the stuff, you are not likely going to have a negative bank account.
Editor Tyrone Walton-Howard: What have you done with all the millions of dollars you've racked up through the years?
Mr. Max Stacks: . Investments. I started by buying shares of companies at first, and after that, I've started buying small businesses around town.
Editor Tyrone Walton-Howard: Have you ever been or felt threatened by other people when you got this wealthy?
Mr. Max Stacks: I honestly have never been threatened. The cash came almost all at a time, so I got the power istantly, and people were already too late to even dare to threat me.
Editor Tyrone Walton-Howard: How has your life changed now, that you're a millionare and a well known businessman?
Mr. Max Stacks: Well, I wasn't the son of a prince or a star, I couldn't afford who knows, a sports car when I got my driving license. I wouldn't have become a businessman like I currently am if I didn't have the idea and the luck of throwing myself into gambling.
Editor Tyrone Walton-Howard: Would you recomment gambling to anyone looking for a way to get wealthy?
Mr. Max Stacks: If you really want to become a person in the gambling world, you need a lot of head, you have to know a lot of maths to succeed, since only 50% of the success in gambling, is achieved with luck. Also, cut low on cash, don't go all in if you are not certain that you are getting more cash back. Finally, remember to invest in businesses, as honestly I don't even need to gamble anymore if I want to get to the end of the month. My offices will do now.
Editor Tyrone Walton-Howard: Alright Mr. Stacks, that was all the questions we prepared for you today. Once again thank you for being here and for your time.
Mr. Max Stacks: Likewise, thank you for having me, it was a pleasure being here.

If there is no sort of intervention from the government to stop the situation, the gambling galore will live on, dividing Los Santos, ruining some families and making others.
