Who Is Mikki Mase – The becoming of a Legend

Mikki Mase was born on October 27, 1991, his real name is Michael David Meiterman. He came from a well-to-do family, and a line of long ancestry of high-stakes gamblers, in his remarks.

Mase became involved with gambling by the age of 8 when his family would gather at reunions and use nickels and pennies to play cards.

A great uncle of his once won a part of a casino in a game of cards in a foreign country that Mikki Mase had struggled to call during an interview, but lost ownership of that piece of the casino in that very same game, which gave rise to a funny albeit untrue anecdote that his family owned casinos. That uncle eventually lost everything because of gambling.
