Part 8/9:
Benny Binion's influence stretched beyond poker and gambling innovations; he played a pivotal role in promoting events like the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, earning a unique place in the Rodeo Hall of Fame despite never riding a horse professionally. Through his sons’ leadership, the Horseshoe continued to flourish, but challenges remained, including federal scrutiny that eventually led to the casino's sale in the 2000s. Binion passed away in 1989, leaving behind a complex legacy intertwined with both the glamorous and grim realities of the gambling world.
