Don't Mess with the Mob

You talkin' to me?
You talkin' to me?
An interesting character over on Orange 28 is Silvio "The Italian Stallion" Formica. In the old days, Formica claims that he was a member of the Cleveland and Chicago mob. He moved to Vegas back in 1945 and has been playing at the World Series since 1975. He has been a very nice guy to everyone at the table so far. Of his other players, he said, "wonderful people, but I'll bust them all."
