		Ted Binion perhaps captured more of the outlaw side of his famous father, Benny Binion, while his brother Jack and sister Becky Behnen perhaps inherited their dad's gaming savvy and business sense.
		Benny Binion drove his wife, the late Teddy Jean Binion, and children to Las Vegas in 1947, barely one step ahead of Texas authorities who sought to make him pay for his transgressions there.
		Ted perhaps was noted more for his battle to hold on to his gaming license -- something he failed to do -- amid drug use and associations with reputed mob figures than he was for contributing anything of significance to the gambling industry in which he was raised.
