Why would they want to find out?

What happens when they do find out?

010

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 1h

They got a ten year backlog.

The state law says that you can work in a casino while they’re processing your application.

010

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 2h

All you gotta do is apply for one.

010

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 2h

You don’t have to have a license to work in a casino.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 3h

I have at least two dozen gambling and bookmaking pinches on me.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 3h

The Gaming Commission would never give me a license.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 4h

I don’t know if I could do this even if I wanted to.

But typical Ace, give him a shot at runnin’ a casino and he tries to talk you out of it.

020

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 5h

I mean, he was already in Vegas a couple years, and he had the fuckin’ place clocked.

010

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 6h

Now all they needed was somebody they could trust to run the casino.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 6h

Not the chairman of the fuckin’ board, Philip Green.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 7h

And of course it was the bosses’ man, Andy Stone, who gave all the orders.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 7h

All I know is that Green was an Arizona real estate hustler who barely had enough gas money to come and pick up his own fuckin’ check

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 8h

And where they got Green from?

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 9h

I know full well how much competition we have in this great city.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 9h

He wanted to believe the Teamsters gave him all that fuckin’ money ’cause he was smart

020

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 10h

He didn’t want to know too much - especially that the bosses made the Teamsters lend him the money.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 11h

What the fuck else could he be?

020

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 11h

Now, here was the perfect front man.

010

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 12h

"…this check for $62,700,000 for the new Tangiers."

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 13h

And when he was told to give a pension fund loan to Philip Green…

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 14h

"On behalf of the Teamsters’ Pension Fund, it is my pleasure to present to you…"

011

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 14h

He even played golf with the president.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 16h

This is a very auspicious occasion.

011

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 16h

As far as the world was concerned, Andy Stone, the head of the Teamsters’ Pension Fund, was a legitimate guy.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 17h

But I do want to welcome the ladies and gentlemen of the gaming industry.

030

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 17h

I know it’s a little early for Las Vegas…

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 19h

Definitely the most important guy in this room.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 19h

You got a round figure on it?

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 20h

Or especially guys like Remo Gaggi, the outfit’s top boss.

010

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 20h

Guys like this antique over here, out of Detroit.

011

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 21h

Nobody got a Teamsters’ loan unless the guys in this room knew they were gonna get their little suitcases.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 23h

And that’s where you had to go if you wanted to borrow money to buy a casino.

010

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 23h

Because they control the Teamsters Union.

000

Casino (1995) @casinofilm1995.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Now, these old greaseballs might not look it, but believe me…these are the guys who secretly control Las Vegas.
