Uncensored Chat:
California's Got Casinos Galore!
California's putting Vegas to shame with a whopping nearly 100 casinos and cardrooms across the state. But don't expect to find online gambling or sports betting here - we're old-school cool. Instead, we've got a smorgasbord of land-based joints, from small-time slots dens to large-scale casino resorts sporting table games.
One such casino that's high on everyone's hit-list is the legendary Hustler Casino, nestled a stone's throw from LA. With a rich history stretching back two decades, it's home to the well-known live-stream poker sensation, Hustler Casino Live.
But who the hell is Nick Vertucci and why does his name pop up whenever Hustler Casino is discussed?
Larry Flynt: The Hustler Casino's Original Pimp
Hustler Casino was born on June 22, 2000, taking over the site of the former El Dorado Club. The mastermind behind this brainchild was none other than the infamous Larry Flynt, who splashed out $8 million on the location back in 1998. Flynt controlled the popular cardroom in Gardena right up until his passing in 2021, with his ){._class='post-content'}Hustler Casino ownership passing to El Dorado LF, LLC thereafter. Besides that, Flynt held the reins of {._class='post-content'}Larry Flynt Publications - an adult entertainment business that's been cranking out smut since 1976.
Early in 2007, the casino underwent a major revamp, resulting in the opening of the luxe high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room. Fast forward to 2021, and the Crystal Room metamorphosed yet again - this time to accommodate the setting of the highly-anticipated live poker show, Hustler Casino Live.
{._class='post-content'}Hustler Casino Live was the brainchild of two shrewd dudes - Ryan Feldman and none other than Nick Vertucci himself. Offering top-notch entertainment through high-profile guests and beefy buy-ins, the live-stream poker show soon found itself the darling of the online gambling world.

Hustler Casino Live: the High-Stakes Poker Show
Hustler Casino Live kicked off in August 2021, transforming the high-limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into a state-of-the-art set for the live poker show. Co-founded by Ryan Feldman and Nick Vertucci, the show initially garnered fame for its unscripted and unedited moments as well as high-stakes games featuring recognizable players.
Compared to traditional live-stream poker, Hustler Casino Live offers a fresh take, incorporating surprise guests that ratchet up the entertainment ante for poker fans and gamblers alike.
A Scandal in Paradise
With tens of thousands of followers across various social media platforms, Hustler Casino Live's online presence is unrivaled. At the time of writing, it boasts 375,000 subscribers on YouTube, having posted a total of 1,537 videos and amassing over 208.9 million views. Theshow also has a strong following on Twitter (58,600 followers) and Instagram (42,400 followers).
However, the show's rising popularity couldn't shield one of the co-founders, Nick Vertucci, from sexual harassment allegations leveled by regular show guest Julia McBride. In October 2021, McBride claimed that Vertucci sexually harassed her both on and off-camera, and that she was subsequently banned from the show for refusing his advances.
Subsequently, Vertucci stepped down from his role at Hustler Casino Live, and earlier this month, GGPoker's parent company, NSUS Group Inc., announced it had purchased Vertucci's stake in the show.
