'Elvis was the one in charge, and he never let you forget it. We used to sit around the house playing cards some. And Elvis always had to be the banker, the house.
We played blackjack and he'dalways put sonny on his right-hand side. That way, he would take, or not take, the last card to help his hand.
Billy and the others were aware of what was going on because everyone owed Elvis money. He didn't owe anybody anything. And everybody would complain about it, and he'd say, 'well, that's how those big hotels in Vegas were built, guys. The house is always the winner. You can't beat the house.'
