Gatlin Laurel Clingman is a man forced to write in third person, in order to sound like an unbiased source, but he's going to power through. He's a proud Italian who regrettably has none of that origin in his entirely Americanized name, but we're not judgin', right? Hell, "Gatlin" isn't a first name at all, though he does share it with a family dog of a child murderer, so that's something.
He's the loving father of a gorgous woman by the name of "Casadee." She's a big strong gal boasting five floors of gambling excitement, along with a nice hotel to rest your weary, gamed out soul. There's fun to be had for all, including the kids (in the hotel, of course~. We follow the laws in this House of Sin).
Along with happily donating thousands of his customers to Gambler's Anonymous each year, he generously hires employees from other businesses in the surrounding area, saving them from their sad existences in retail. Truly, he is a pious man. (Two stores may have went out of business due to him stealing too many employees, but that's business, baby! Don't hate the player, hate the game! ️♣️♦️♥♠)
Being the all-powerful Casino King, Gatlin sometimes performs his own acts when his stage is free. He's no professional, but who's going to say 'no' to a little surprise entertainment? ...Maybe the people who have heard him sing~.
He also co-owns the poker club, "Bluff Waffe," along with his pal, Marius, a pretty darn awesome lawyer, if this unbiased third-party source doesn't say so himself. You might want to check him out if you've been defamed by an ex-lover or a famous, charismatic casino mogul who might've taken a joke too far.

History
Il Mago Italiano: 1985-1996
Gatlin the Great always wanted to become a famous magician when he grew up. He'd skip around the city of Turin, showing off card tricks to anyone he met, and everyone clapped. 👏 Initially, when his parents said "Gatti boy, we're moving to America," he was elated. America's great! We all love America, right? Hollywood, here he came, baby~! ...Or Tennessee. That was good too.
New World, New Experiences: 1996-2007
...Things did not go according to plan. 😅
Americans couldn't handle his big, thick, Italian accent, so instead of achieving his dream of living paycheck to paycheck as a freelance performer, he decided to become a rich and powerful businessman who got to host those struggling performers in his luxurious Casino Kingdom.
The Tennessino: 2007-Present
Instead of gambling on the prospects of gambling (🤣), the 6'0 tall man started small. In 2007, he purchased the "Downtown Casino" for $430,000, and rebranded it as the Tennessino, to see how he could handle the businessman life. At first, he focused on the raw personality of the place, adding new events, loyalty perks, and special deals, but once he was in the green two years later, he renovated her into the sparkling beauty she still is today. Wow, this Gat guy's pretty cool, huh?
Hundreds of Constuction Workers go into Labor: 2012-2015
Six years into the Tennessino, he finally had enough experience and capital to go bigger. Taking out a huge $350 million loan, construction on Casa del Sino started in 2012.
Casa del Sino: 2015-Present
On August 15, 2015, Casadee was born, right outside of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Many came to witness her birth, similar to that Jesus guy from centuries back. Which event was more integral to our history? I'll let you decide~. 😉 Plenty of festivities were held during the following months, and she quickly earned her place as one of the Jewels of the Smokies, hosting talent from all around the world on her luxurious Second Floor.
In 2023, Gatlin reached $1 billion in assets. You jealous?
In 2025, he hopefully wasn't scammed, blackmailed, or held up at gunpoint, thus losing that $1 billion, but only time will tell!
