The Phantom Gambler

By the time the Phantom Gambler returned to place his second bet, Benny Binion had been convicted of tax evasion and couldn’t technically own the Horseshoe. Ted Binion, patrolling the casino floor with a snub-nosed, .38-calibre revolver, watched the Phantom Gambler put it all on the backline and win again. The Phantom Gambler’s real name was William Lee Bergstrom.
