Tomato King gets squashed; California, the wild, wild west of gambling

A produce warehouse and a fistful intangibles. That’s what Joseph “Tomato King” Procacci says will enable him to get his casino proposal up and running six months ahead of any rival bidder. Touting his ‘juice’ in the community, the Tomato … Continue reading
Another thousand slot machines
Penn National Gaming — sort of a “favorite son” candidate for a Philadelphia casino — is first up in presentations to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for the fifth Philly-area casino license. Bart Blatstein‘s and Isle of Capri Casinos‘ $700 … Continue reading
D-Day in Philly; Al Sharpton’s casino-boss buddy; Angst in Maine
