Benny Binion 1979 Interview

[@closer71]

My grandpa’s older brother shared a cell at Leavenworth with Benny for six years.

[@naomitims4521]

That’s pretty cool

"He was either the gentlest bad guy or the baddest good guy you'd ever seen" RIP Benny

[@nimueh4298]

Jeff These are not your own words, you rip it off of Thomas Preston AKA Amarillo Slim. Nice try.

[@HermanIngram]

That generation is SORELY missed.

[@samiam7342]

wow, I have never heard him talk before......this is probably one of two times he ever did an interview on camera......thanks for posting!!!

[@pablopence2429]

Man thats a badass man right there

[@OGecalien]

I’m a poker player by trade now. Been grooming myself for 14 years. I have a neighbor I push around in a wheelchair to gamble. He loves the machines. I have more fun watching him win than when I run really good. I understand what Mr. Binion is saying.

[@jhonfamo8412]

Thx for the upload

[@raymondsykes2954]

The guys who came up in this time period where so lucky. They had so much opportunity. You try now days to open a casino there's no way it'll work. At all. Not only that it costs 50x what it did to build one and the land for it now. All they had to do was have some money or get a loan from the bank and they could make it. Now days that's just not possible anymore in this type of field.

[@altt-check1-2]

Wow , great upload

[@hey_buddy_waz_up]

He seems like a genuinely nice guy, but at the same time, he seems like someone you do not want to fuck with.

[@portugal5698]

Yep. A *REAL* man and American at that, w/ the integrity and vibe of those like our grandfathers before us!

He was pretty amazing

[@TSBS]

What’s the song at the first secs of the video cowboy tune

[@teddymokoena7480]

You can smell a hot pot of beans😊

[@BRadgambler]

He's definitely the coolest gangster you could ever wanna know. And no, I'm not saying he was in a gang - saying he WAS a gangster, big difference...

[@nicogambino8425]

He was a murderer look up his history he's in Sheol now

[@johnmac91]

You're 100% correct. Benny Binion is known to have killed at least two people (and probably more) in Texas gang wars before coming to Vegas. To his credit, he was known to run a good casino, but he was a mean SOB, and not a man to be messed with.

[@RagedContinuum]

he was a POS for having herbert noble (and his wife) murdered

[@bennycasino]

Does anyone know the song at the end?

[@norriaty]

It’s called “Kamali” by Herb Albert.

[@tommyfu9271]

Its a shame what Binions has turnes into. The place is a ghost town now.

[@bradcleveland2482]

My father is a binion

[@aceshott3548]

I like how this video is trying to make him seem like a harmless old man when he’s a murderer

[@pellajoe]

They dont make em like this anymore

[@HANNAHLUMERIA-it5rw]

That's gorgeous open land! I prefer being around animals. Small animals. Birds. My xs mothers BF had his ear born off by a horse. I didn't see that I was told , so , who knows.
