	Las Vegas Sun 50th anniversary
		Nick the Greek, as he is more readily identified, is truly the king of the gamblers, for no man in recorded history has won or lost more money in testing the various theories of making money without actually working for it.
		Nick the Greek's life is as well known to me as to any of his close friends or associates for Dick Donovan and I did the research and wrote the story in Collier's Magazine some 12 years ago.
		Nick is a sensitive and courtly 6-footer with a cultivated, rather professional air, humanitarian instincts, a sharp, sometimes caustic wit and a talent for conversational counter-punching.

	Nick the Greek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nicholas Andreas "Nick the Greek" Dandolos (born in Rethymnon, Crete 1883-December 25, 1966) was a professional gambler and high roller.
		Nick the Greek then called for a new deck of cards, shuffled them and asked the Texan if he wanted to play double or quit.
		Nick explains how he wins big not by playing the tables, but by knowing the odds at the tables and betting against others who have superstitious beliefs about the outcome.

	Las Vegas Mercury: Tales of Vegas Past: Green felt duel on Fremont S...
		Nick the Greek not only wanted a no-limit poker game, the "biggest game that this world could offer" (as he hyperbolically put it to Binion), he wanted to go head to head with a single player.
		Nick the Greek had spent most of his time cleaning out East Coast gamblers (his first trip to Vegas in 1940 had in fact been the occasion for a humiliating loss to a group of draw poker desert rats that the dapper Greek had unwisely underestimated).
		Nick the Greek walked away with several big pots, even as the two men continually changed the game to keep it interesting: from five-card stud to draw, seven-card stud, seven card high-low split, ace-to-the-five lowball, deuce-to-the-seven lowball.

	GreekInternet.Com : Greek Playboy Casino : Nick the Greek
		Nick (real name Nicholas Andrea Dandolos), was born in 1893 in Rethymnon, Crete, and educated at the Greek Evangelical College in Smyrna.
		Nick the Greek followed one basic gambling principle: to give himself as near an even chance as possible, so that his skill and his insight into his opponents' character may be given a fair contest.
		But one thing is certain: Nick the Greek had been gambling honestly for many years on an unprecedented scale, which shows that, given the necessary skill and capital, you don't have to cheat at gambling to make it pay.

	Nick The Greek
		Nick’s voice is deep and resonant, and his social graces are something to watch in awe.
		Although Nick has been on the most intimate terms with all the biggest gang leaders in America, the only record of Dandolas being arrested was the result of a police raid on a joint in Chicago.
		The Greek and several other gambling customers were all taken into custody on the customary chargers of vagrancy and having no visible means of support, the statue under which bums and beggars are always judged.

		The legends of Nick the Greek likely outweigh the reality of the man but it is certain, noted both from biographers and those who knew him, that he did gamble and he did gamble big.
		I think I read in Ted Thacker's book about the man that Nick the Greek paid women to sit by his bedside when he retired for the evening because he was afraid he might die in his sleep.
		Nick lived beyond the limits of acceptable behavior, much like Stu Ungar would do a generation later, not because he gambled but because he was obsessed with gambling, driven by the need to beat the bipolarity of luck.
