(Spinetti's) When it comes to the Reno chip collecting, the Overland Hotel and Casino is one of the more popular choices. When it opened in 1933, it would have been one of the earliest legal gaming establishments in the state. Legalized gaming in the state of Nevada started in 1931.
The Overland was the home of the $25,000 keno jackpot. It also billed itself as The Last Frontier of the Old West. There were historic paintings of cowboys at the establishment.
The man responsible for opening the Overland was Reno gaming pioneer Richard “Pick” Hobson. Mr. Hobson owned and operated a handful of casinos. Passing away in August of 1996, he was 85 years old. Aside from being part of the gaming industry, he was also a rancher.
One of his good friends was Club Cal-Neva owner Warren Nelson. After his passing, Nelson said to the Reno Gazette that Pick Hobson was no doubt a cowboy. He was the owner of 10 casinos. He was known for running clean and organized gaming establishments.
The Overland closed for the final time in 1977. One of Hobson's other casinos, the Riverside Hotel, closed in 1986. Mr. Hobson said that he paid every single employee every dollar they were owed, including vacation at the closing. Richard “Pick” Hobson had a big influence on early gaming in the city of Reno, Nevada. |
