With my recent acquisition of a few illegal casino chips I really got interested in them and wanted to learn more about them. I've known a little bit of the history, but haven't actually gotten to learn about how these clubs operated, who operated some of them, the games they had, the environments and details like that. So with that, I'm going to be looking into more illegal clubs/casinos and making videos about them. In my new video, we talk about Illegal casino gaming and the beginning of it here in the United States. It most likely started somewhere in the 1800s, but got more popular into the early 1900s-1930s and then would slowly fade away into the 50s and 60s when police would begin raids and Vegas was starting to really gain attention. Some popular faces you may think about can be Meyer Lansky, Al Capone, Bugsy Siegal, Sam Giancana and many others. Many popular illegal casinos were located in the South of the US, Northeast and places around Chicago. So, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri. This is the intro to a new series that I'll begin highlighting certain illegal casinos talking about their history, who was behind them and what kinds of chips/operations they had happening at these clubs. I hope you enjoy!
Anyone that has information or knows more about illegal casinos, I will most likely need some help with pictures and details that I may not find. So, reach out to me and we can make these videos as a community!
