GAMBLING HISTORY BLOG
These are the kinds of stories you’ll find in Doresa’s blog, It Really Happened!
Tuition-needing, California opera student, Susan Wallace, and her horse, Lucky, took their chances on roulette in the casinos of Reno, Nevada in 1950. It really happened!
London gangsters and twins, Reggie and Ronnie Kray, muscled their way into a gambling house in the early 1960s, only to abandon it a few years later. It really happened!
After decades of racketeering and underworld crime, Meyer Lansky, the accountant for American mobsters, tried to “retire” in Israel in 1972. It really happened!
In 1913 Warsaw, people believed that a segment of rope used in a hanging brought them gambling luck. It really happened!
The aftermath of gambling junkets from Japan to Las Vegas led to discord between the Land of the Rising Sun and the Silver State in the early ’70s. It really happened!
In ’46, ex-cons or Capone soldiers kidnapped Edward P. Jones, 25-year kingpin of a lucrative policy racket in Chicago, likely for a payout or control of his empire. It really happened!
