The article is 6 years old. A little outdated.

Lefty is just a bitter old man. Look at some of the crap he says. He says TV gives him something, but people going to gamble get nothing. Huh? If someone has a good night out at the casino, they don't get anything out of it? How about a 3-day trip to Vegas? Millions have been to Nevada and went home saying they had a great time while leaving a "donation". Lefty is just bitter about what happened and here he is badmouthing the industry cause they don't run things the way he did. I would pay little attention to him in this article, he makes no sense most of the time.

agree Wildbill,


This guy still thinks its 1973, Lefty is washed up, time for him to take up shuffleboard.

I know Lefty very well now. He eats dinner at the same place I got to and I have spoken to him numerious times. He is a nice guy but is very negative when anything about gamling comes up. He can't seem to move on and holds many grudges.

 

[BillDozer]

Well hes obviously not too up to speed on the new online gaming generation. There are alot of guys that can show him 1000 wagers during a seaosn with a profitable record 3 seasons running

 

[JudgeWapner]

Had the pleasure of meeting Mr Rosenthal.Nice guy who still has a ton of knowledge about the bussiness.And no I didn't find him to be bitter.

 

[wilheim]

Lefty's name came up last night in another thread, so I happened to run into this interview in a web-search. The business most likely has passed him by, as he grows older.
