sentences: The Black Mafia, also known as the Muslim Mafia, Muslim Mob, Philadelphia Black Mafia, or PBM is a Philadelphia-based African-American organized crime syndicate.
 The organization began as a small criminal collective, known for holding up neighborhood craps games and dealing in the illegal drug business, but at its height of operation until about 1975, it managed to consolidate power and control a large portion of criminal activity in various African-American neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley, and South Jersey, including Atlantic City.
 In addition to drug trafficking, burglary, and armed robbery, the Black Mafia was also engaged in traditional organized crime activities such as extortion, racketeering, prostitution, loansharking, number running and other illegal gambling rackets.
The numbers game, also known as the numbers racket, the policy racket, the Italian lottery, the policy game, or the daily number is a form of illegal gambling or illegal lottery played mostly in poor and working class neighborhoods in the United States, wherein a bettor attempts to pick three digits to match those that will be randomly drawn the following day.
 In recent years, the "number" would be the last three digits of "the handle", the amount race track bettors placed on race day at a major racetrack, published in racing journals and major newspapers in New York.
 A gambler places a bet with a bookie at a tavern, bar, barber shop, social club, or any other semi-private place that acts as an illegal betting parlor.
Operation "Bishop" is the codename for a longterm effort by state and federal police forces to end illegal gambling and associated money laundering schemes in the border city of Brownsville, Texas.
 Since its beginning in April 2013, Operation "Bishop" has focused on "eight-liner" establishments, where customers play inexpensive slot machines, known as ""maquinitas"", and so far have made over 60 arrests, seized over $1,000,000 and dozens of slot machines, in more than 70 police raids.
 It has been speculated that the illegal gambling operations in Brownsville may be used by Mexican drug cartels in the area to launder large quantities of illegitimate revenue.
The Cohen crime family, or the Siegel crime syndicate, was an Italian-American Mafia / Jewish Mafia crime family created by New York Jewish American mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel in the early 1930s.
 Siegel ran Los Angeles and later Las Vegas' illegal gambling and prostitution rings with his lieutenants Mickey Cohen, David Berman, Harold "Hooky" Rothman, Moe Sedway and boss of the L.A. family Jack Dragna.
In 2002, the Greek government passed the vague and controversial Law 3037/2002 which effectively banned all electronic games in public places to fight illegal gambling.
 The bill was formulated after a member of the ruling Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) political party was videotaped in an illegal gambling establishment, resulting in public hysteria that was fueled by sensationalist reporting in the press.
 The bill was passed on 29 July, 2002 to take effect with its publication in the Government Gazette, pursuant to the enabling article.
Reuben Parsons (fl.
 1840–1860) was an American gambler and underworld figure in New York during the early-to mid 19th century.
 He was the first man, along with partner John Frink, to establish illegal gambling and policy banks.
 Parsons was considered the top gambler, known as the "Great American Faro Banker", and held control over illegal gambling in the city for more than two decades.
 His operations are considered the first major criminal organization, although neither centralized nor having a corporate-like structure, its system remaining in place for well over a century and surviving in various forms up until as late as the late 1980s.
The DeCavalcante crime family is an Italian-American organized crime family that operates in Elizabeth, New Jersey and surrounding areas in the state and is part of the nationwide criminal phenomenon known as the American Mafia (or Cosa Nostra).
 It operates on the other side of the Hudson River from the Five Families of New York, but it maintains strong relations with many of them, as well as with the Philadelphia crime family and the Patriarca crime family of New England.
 Its illicit activities include bookmaking, building, cement, and construction violations, bootlegging, corruption, drug trafficking, extortion, fencing, fraud, hijacking, illegal gambling, loan-sharking, money laundering, murder, pier thefts, pornography, prostitution, racketeering, and waste management violations.
 The DeCavalcantes are, in part, the inspiration for the fictional DiMeo crime family of HBO's dramatic series "The Sopranos".
 The DeCavalcante family was the subject of the CNBC program "Mob Money", which aired on June 23, 2010 and "The Real Sopranos" TV documentary (first airdate April 26, 2006) directed by Thomas Viner for the UK production company Class Films.
Serbian Organized Crime (Serbian: Cpпска мафија/Srpska mafija, Serbian Mafia ) are various criminal organizations based in Serbia or composed of ethnic Serbs in the Serbian diaspora.
 The organizations are primarily involved in smuggling, arms trafficking, heists, drug trafficking, protection rackets and illegal gambling.
 The mafia is composed of several major organized groups, which in turn have wider networks throughout Europe.
Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa are two former New York Police Department (NYPD) police detectives who worked on behalf of the New York Mafia, principally the Lucchese crime family, while they committed various illegal activities.
 In 2006, they were convicted of labor racketeering, extortion, narcotics, illegal gambling, obstruction of justice, eight counts of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, charges stemming from the 1980s and the early 1990s in New York City, and in the 2000s in Las Vegas.
 Both were sentenced to life in federal prison.
The Velentzas crime family is a Greek-American criminal organization operating in the New York City area.
 Mostly active in the 1980s and 1990s with illegal gambling.
