Full List of Nevada Casinos Controlled By Mob?

[JeremyTheJew]

Also - Trafficante and Marcello has casinos in Havana - was this the same set up????

I know NEW JERSEYs ATLANTIC CITY is ran differently then LV but mob run unions were there I guess

Can we get a breakdown what these examples exactly mean??

Such as these ppl OWNED a portion of it under fake front ppl?? Like Alan Glick or whoever else was just on paper but these guys were the ones who really did??

Or - did these certain guys just start taking a claim in said casinos and somehow started taking a cut??

Still a little confused of what the LV operation really is and consisted of…. Like did someone litterally just walk in every month and went to the count room and walked out with 100s of thousands in un counted money????

Or was the spot set up from the beginning so there was no need to “muscle” in ????

Interesting that here in Detroit the original Greektown Casino owner had his car blown up but it was never really reported on and broadcasted

This was way way back kn the day around the family secrets case time if not before

The Detroit "car bombing" thing I'm aware of, and I'd like to start a different thread on that, but that may be a little overblow. Like his car got set on fire overblown and someone put something in his gas tank. Not exactly a carbomb... but worthy of a discussion.

I think the Argent example is a good example of how things were working for the four families involved in that. Chicago, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Cleveland. I'm sure it varied to a certain extent, but I believe in the mid to late 1970s the families were each getting $40,000 a month. So $160,000 total to the mob families, and I think Thomas or someone else explained it was $250,000 in skim per month and the people actually running it got $90,000 a month and $160,000 was going to the four mob families. The only decent breakdown we've gotten from then is from Angelo Lonardo. Once Scalish died in 1976 the Cleveland family was getting $40,000 a month. Going to James Licavoli, Maishe Rockman, Tony Delsanter, Lonardo, Leo Moceri and Dominic Sospirato. But Lonardo didn't know what everyone got.

I’ve always been interested in the details behind the Greektown Casino “car bombing”, so please definitely do start a new thread. To add to this, a Greektown pit boss got Lupara’d in the years following. Also, IIRC in the late 2000s gambling bust, Greektown was the casino of choice to launder proceeds (and used car auctions).

Yeah the Richard Harrison Loury case has always been odd to me. I've had it on my list of possible mob murders in Detroit for a long time. But, it's a murder that in all honesty could have been a kind of domestic thing. In that his ex could have had someone do it. But the murder does come across as a hit when you read about how he's shot. Just two in the chest and gone.

Reading a book about Benny Binion recently another serious criminal who ran the horseshoe from 51-2004.I read that Spilotro was warned not to go there

With that list showing all the mobbed up joints owned by the families do we know if Binion was giving them a cut or was he that feared?

If I remember correctly, didn't Binion pay the LA mob to kill Russian Louie for him? I seem to remember Fratianno mentioning that even twenty some odd years later the LA family was still trying to get more money out of him for it.

Im up to the point where he's just got in his first casino in Vegas right now.So still in the early 50s but has plenty of bodies on his record so far

There's something about Binion blowing up a fbi agent in the 70s
