O'Dwyer's 100 Jefferson Highway New Orleans, Louisiana 70121 MAP Type: Illegal Status: Closed Open: 1949, Close: 1951 (Spinetti's) The O'Dwyer's Club was located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was opened from 1949 to 1951 at 100 Jefferson Highway. The reason for its closing was because of Governor Jimmie Davis. Reportedly, there were thousands of people who would attend these illegal gaming activities nightly. For the people who went, it was an opportunity to dress up, eat a meal and gamble. The O'Dwyer family was reportedly in illegal gaming in Louisiana from 1916 to 1960. They operated different illegal gaming businesses. Even though they were illegal gaming joints in New Orleans, the family even made its only postcards and matchbooks like a traditional casino. Today, a Salvation Army store is located at the address where the gaming operation was. About Illegal Casinos - by their nature, information about illegal, or unlicensed, casinos is hard to find and difficult to verify. Information presented on the ChipGuide about these casinos is provided as the result of our best efforts but may not be 100% accurate. Even if the information is accurate, gamblers move around and may take their equipment with them; items used in one casino may have also been used in others. Please send verified information about illegal casinos to the ChipGuide so that we may improve our accuracy.
