{"product_id":"2940016342757","title":"J Frank Norris -Top'Hill Casino- Lew Jenkins and the Texas Oil Rich","description":"Texas’ Top O' Hill Casino, a temple of chance, sat at the top of a geological outcropping jutting a thousand feet above the valley floor below, the highest point in Tarrant County. A road winding through native oak trees protected by gated stone turreted guard towers filtered out all but those who could afford the Texas no limit games of chance. At that time in our history Las Vegas was only a dusty spot on the map of Nevada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop O' Hill Casino beckoned to the rich and famous, Hollywood stars and their producers, as well as Texas oil barons who felt fully alive only when a fortune was on the line. With a casual freewheeling, free spending attitude so common to the new rich they came with a gleam in their eye; they came to have fun and to try to break the Casino's bank.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Texas historical marker stands today in Arlington Texas at the gated entrance to the thirty seven acre campus of the Arlington Baptist College; which denotes this was the most opulent casino in the Northern hemisphere during the roaring twenties.","brand":"Mullaney Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146588537072,"sku":"2940016342757","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016342757_p0.jpg?v=1763633746","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016342757","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
