There is a great artcle on philly.com called ''the mob lives off its reputation and these video poker machines''That is it in a nutshell.Years ago Anthony''Tony Machines'' Milicia and his partner ''Peg Leg'' controlled these machines,Scarfo,Natale,they all tried to get their hands on them[Milicia was eventually shot but survived''but it finally took an offer they couldn't refuse from 3 dangerous men,Ligambi,Staino,and Mousie before they caved in out of fear.Supposetley they paid 70 grand to Milicia's sons for the business,a business that generates at least 75 to 100 grand a month.I'd say they got the best end of that deal,What were Milicia's sons going to do,one of them is a doctor for crying out loud.So there you have it.So basically while Ligambi and Staino kick back at home at nite people all over South Philly are making them rich playing those machines,that's the mob for you.
