As I was searching for information on Illegals, once again side tracked from my daily chores, I cam across this interesting article. This spans Illegal gambling in Palm Springs once again and in general a life of a gambler back then. Ends in Evansville,IN in a car bombing but also stops in Las Vegas. Very interesting. The life of Ray Ryan who seemed to be a pioneer in Palm Springs for Illegal gaming. Also he was a friend of William Holden the actor. Just a very interesting read indeed for anyone with a gaming interest. Thought I would share since this is new to me but I am sure not new to all of you.
