I've got about $30,000 in chips, not near enough.

I resent the fact that people in places like Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco believe that they should be able to tell us how to live our lives, operate our businesses, and what to do with the land that we love and cherish.

I didn't go to acting school, but I've been observing my fellow man for 66 years now, and I would think that's the best school there is.

The place was built on the premise that people want to gamble, and they may as well do it here. They look after their clientele, and, hell, they treat me like I'm one of their family.

I've already got my rent paid, and it's too late in my life for me to go around talking up stuff that I don't like or believe in.

I'm a widower with three sons and seven grandchildren. One of my sons is my partner on the ranch.

I've always played cards. I can't remember when there wasn't a gambling game going on somewhere, even if it was a craps game in a wheelbarrow on the backside of the racetrack.
