Jack Binion, Fred Benninger Honored

LAS VEGAS -- Horseshoe Gaming Holding Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Jack Binion, comedian Don Rickles and former MGM Grand Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Fred Benninger will be inducted this year into the Gaming Hall of Fame.

The three men will be honored for their achievements June 11 at the 16th annual Gaming Hall of Fame Charity Dinner, which will benefit the American Gaming Association's National Center for Responsible Gaming. The event will be held at the Green Valley Ranch Station casino in Henderson.

"Each has helped shape this industry in a unique way during the past half-century," American Gaming Association President and Chief Executive Frank Fahrenkopf said.

Benninger, former chairman of movie studio giant Metro-Golden-Mayer, passed away in February and will be inducted posthumously.
