Talk:The Happy Wanderer (The Sopranos)

Latest comment: 10 years ago by TheBearPaw in topic Why do they need the mob?

The article says the sporting goods store is in Ramsey, NJ, but the Ramsey Outdoor Store location used in the show is in Paramus.

It's true I have no life, but can someone confirm whether they say it's in Ramsey or not? 65.96.180.86 00:50, 8 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Song edit

What is the song that is briefly performed twice by the blonde haired girl for caberet night? I believe it is something by Schubert (he wrote a lot of music abour wanderers).

Also, I came to see what the song that is being played by Eric in his SUV when he comes to pick up Meadow. It is a metal song I think. I looked at the credits, but I couldn't see anything.Macca7174talk 22:19, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Ep19 matt sean.jpg edit

Why do they need the mob? edit

If a handful of high-rollers want to play poker why do they need to pay gangsters to make it happen? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul J Williams (talkcontribs) 08:46, 23 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Well, they could fly to Vegas or Atlantic City or Macau or go to some other licensed casino, sure, and pay them. But besides the gambling meccas, few casinos in general offer very high-stakes tables. The special mob-run game such as this one has advantages such as close proximity and not being hindered by any gaming laws. Just off the top of my head: Play as long as you want, immediate loans (if you are trusted, as happened to Davey in this episode). I guess there are less professional players who hunt high-roller amateurs in the biggest casinos (or they could not be allowed to participate, the mob invites and selects the players). Others might like the thrill of an illegal game, want to meet the different gambling public. Plus, the Executive Game, as seen in this episode, certainly does not happen every day, only sometimes, it is something of a special occasion, even considered a legendary, long-established tradition of the Jersey area. --TheBearPaw (talk) 23:30, 24 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
