LAS VEGAS -- Comedian Don Rickles has been inducted into the Gaming Hall of Fame.
"In the 45 years I've worked in casinos, I dreamed of being honored by an organization like the American Gaming Association, especially since I don't even have a hunting license," Rickles joked.

More than 50 people have been inducted into the Gaming Hall of Fame, including Wayne Newton, Merv Griffin, Barron Hilton, Kirk Kerkorian and Donald Trump.

Don Rickels was one of the best in his prime! Just don't sit in the front row or he'll tear you apart,lol! One time I was in AC at his show and this lady got up to go to the bathroom in the middle section and he asked her Whats wrong maam don't you like my performance?/ She said no and I'm going to the ladies room! He made every one in the first ten rows get up and exchange seats with everyone in the first ten rows in the side section! All done in matter of minutes,lol! She came back and couldn't find her seat the rest of the show, he tore her a new a-hole throughout his act! Now hes old not as funny but I still love watching him!

of course you gotta put Don Rickles in the gambling Hall of Fame.. He was Billy Sherbert, casino manager, in the movie CASINO.. He was one of the best managers any casino has ever had. How can he not go to the Hall???
