It would be interesting to see how Binion's would have handled the WSOP if Becky Behnen didn't run the Horseshoe into the ground.

Yes. They still own the name 'Horseshoe'.

their 'Horseshoe' casino in Tunica is still generally considered to be the best in the region (there are 9 casinos in Tunica, 5 of them have poker-rooms) even though it is now operated by Harrah's.


they even still have Jack Binion appearing in the TV commercials. He's really more of a spokes-person for Horseshoe now I believe. But part of their deal included his involvement in representing the Horseshoe.
So it is still impossible to go very long on Memphis television without seeing him in an ad.


I believe they kept the Horseshoe name in Shreveport as well. And I thought they also had a Horseshoe somewhere in Illinois that is under the Harrah's umbrella now too.


but clearly the one in Tunica is their jewel.

Maybe some of the railtrout from Rizen's FT could come in and answer this. Maybe you need to be an invited guest or VIP like Filmaff or someone like that?

1) You don't need a ticket, just show up.

2) Somehow, Rizen's wife got the stroller all the way to the viewing area before gettign kicked out. You must be 21 to be in the area but they didn't ID anyone and we were with some youngish looking people.

3) Rizen owns. OBV

No, I don't think so.

I am sure that I read somewhere that they have a built a mini "stadium" TV table with bleachers at the Rio, for the Main Event.
