Pair of 633 / Flamingo Club Dice - Casino Illegal Gambling - Newport Kentucky

Description: Vintage Pair of 633 Club / Flamingo Club Dice - Newport, Kentucky. Nice collectible from an era of mob run illegal casino gambling. The last photo shows a picture of the club in the early 1960's. Photo is NOT included in this sale but you can print it off for your documentation. The following excerpt is from the book WHEN VICE WAS KING A HISTORY OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY GAMBLING 1920-1970 by Jim Linduff with Roy Klein and Larry Trapp: 633 / FLAMINGO CLUB In the late 1930s, Arthur Dennert opened the Flamingo Club at 633 York Street. Dennert was a local bootlegger who subsequently opened Club Alexandria and was a partner in a beer distributing company. The Eastern Syndicate, with full concurrence of the Cleveland Syndicate (who “owned” the Northern Kentucky area), forced Dennert out of the Flamingo. The Levinson brothers, Mike, Ed and “Sleepout” Louis, representing the Eastern Syndicate headed by Meyer Lansky, ran the Flamingo and made it into a major player in the Newport gambling scene. The back room featured a large gambling area complete with horse boards for all major tracks, roulette and craps and poker tables. The cooperation between the two syndicates was unusual, but there is evidence that Cleveland shared in the profits coming out of the Flamingo, so they could allow the Eastern Syndicate’s presence without financial harm. The Flamingo was also known as the 633 Club due to the address and much of its memorabilia has “633 Club” printed on it. Most illegal clubs tried not to advertise their intentions, but the Flamingo did so with the 633 Club tag. Gambling ceased operation in the early 1960s and the location became a teenage dance club.
