Son of one of these 4 guys. The Son was running the Golden gate in those days.
From my Sal Sagev story.

Picardo, Durante, Ghelfi, and Massaro made a deal to open a casino in the SS. The Golden Gate was born. In 1956, Abe told one of the men, that he had something for him. He told the gentleman, it was a souvenir of the early days of the SS. Abe gave him the Albert Pick and roulette chips still wrapped in the tarp. I have been told Albert Pick of Chicago, stopped making wheels about 1950.
I talked to him on the phone. I purposely avoided names in the article to spare his mother a bunch of chip hunters.
My notes on the story are buried in 1 of about 50 boxes.
