the poker hall of fame is the hall of fame of professional poker in the united states. founded in las vegas, it was created in 1979 by benny binion, the owner of the horseshoe casino, to preserve the names and legacies of the world's greatest poker players and to serve as a tourist attraction to his casino. binion was known for the creative ways in which he marketed his casino. in 1949, he convinced johnny moss and nick "the greek" dandolos to play high-stakes poker heads up where the public could watch them. in 1970, he invited a group of poker players to compete in what would be the first world series of poker (wsop). when harrah's entertainment, now known as caesars entertainment, acquired the rights to the wsop in 2004, it also assumed ownership of the poker hall of fame. currently, membership in the poker hall of fame is handled directly by the wsop.

mr and mrs binions promised the sellers to allow mrs evans to remain in her cottage for life when they bought it. mrs evans's relationship pre-dated the binions' interest in the property (the tredegar estate had allowed her and her husband before he died, a servant of theirs to occupy and had entered into its standard tenancy with her as the survivor). the binions family argued she was a ‘tenant at will’.
