Online Casino, casinos

The world of casinos at las Vegas, Macao, Monaco and other gaming capitals is controlled by big names, some of whom started with nothing. Some American millionaires made their fortune in casinos, like Sheldon Adelson who began by selling newspapers when he was 12 years old. Casinoweb has created a Biography section on these magnates, who have built casinos the world over, from Las Vegas to Atlantic City via the new gaming capital Macao.

These casino tycoons were not born with silver spoons in their mouths and you will find out everything about their lives and about the empires they have built over the years. Sometimes, a simple meeting can change a life, as was the case for Kirk Kerkorian – the son of an Armenian immigrant – who met and worked with O’Flaherty, acquiring from him his love of flying and aeroplanes (Kerkorian made his fortune in aviation before going into casinos (ed.)). These gaming magnates often have a terrible image which is frequently associated to links with the mafia. Fingers have often been pointed at Stanley Ho, for links with the Triad and the local mafia.

These biographies will give you interesting details about these international gaming magnates, who rank among the world’s biggest fortunes.
