Play Roulette Part2
This was not the only daring bet in Binion's history. Binion's was known for going-for-broke wagers. At Binion's you could make your first big bet your gambling limit. One time a seedy-looking character in a bulky old overcoat was shooting craps at a $5 table when Binion walked by. "What's my limit?" croaked the geezer.
"The sky's the limit for you, Pop," was Binion's jocular reply. Immediately the guy started emptying out all the pockets of his voluminous clothing until there was a mountain of bills in front of him!
A legendary episode was played out over a decade ago when Jack Binion got a phone call from a man who wanted to know how high a wager he would accept. "One million if it's your first bet," Jack told him. A few days later a middle-aged cowboy arrived with two shopping bags filled with money. It was poured onto the green felt table and counted. It came to $760,000.
"Give me one chip," he said.
He placed the chip on the "don't pass" line.
A shooter threw dice in something like this sequence: 6-4-12-9, and finally a 7 and out.
The casino counted out $1,520,000, and Jack Binion gave the player two attache cases filled with money.
As the unidentified man left the casino accompanied by two armed security guards, someone asked him, "Why did you do it?"
"Well," he drawled, "I felt inflation was shrinking my savings, so I decided to gamble on double or nothing."
Alas, that wasn't the end of the story. Within the year he returned and lost most of it back. Later there was a report that the man committed suicide.
Finally The High Roller reported that a Richard Jareck, of Heidelberg won more than $50,000 at roulette at the San Remo C an o r a seven-month period. The City Counci tied to ban him as a professional gambler," but the German took some of his winnings and hired two Italian lawyers, who success fully forced the Council to rescind the ban. His point was that, if both he and the Casino are honest, the odds are against him anyway. Back to the roulette table he went, and out he came-a winner again.
