Galveston: Island of Chance
by Frank E. Chalfant
Fascinating history of illegal gambling and a reference on collectible gaming chips of the last century in the city of Galveston, Texas. The author traces history of the Fertitta family's successes and adventures in Galveston before Frank Fertitta ventured into Las Vegas 40 years ago. This book documents the attempts to crack down on illegal gambling as well as the efforts to expand it from the 1920s on; including the Maceo empire. The author goes on to outline the political hassles, legal tangles, payoffs, raids, who ran what club and more. Well illustrated. Very fascinating story and reference! Regular price: $27.50
