Bookies Union
Vegasians depend on three certainties: there is always another sucker, you can always run away, and if you owe the Bookies you will pay. The Bookies Union is the closest thing to an impartial financial institution in the entire region, a union of money makers, deal backers, and investors who follow a strict code of investment and profit with no exceptions, no leeway, and no sentiment.
Run by the Rivera family for three generations, the Union operates from Bookie's Limit on the eastern side of Murderer's Mile. Carved above the entrance are the words that define everything they do: "All Debts Paid, All Contracts Law." The Riveras are paid a transaction fee on every contract they record and witness, and their scope covers everything from family debts and trade routes to slave transactions, property transfers, and the massive gambling debts that accumulate from Glitter Gulch and the Guts N Bolts tournament.
Private mercenaries and internal enforcer groups ensure every contract and debt is followed to the letter. Those who fall delinquent find their debts reported to the Vegasian Politicalis for further action. The Bookies Union maintains copies of records at the Freemont Canopy and audits the Canopy's records office, making them the one organization in Vegasia whose books are beyond reproach. In a city built on lies and vice, the Bookies are honest. That is what makes them dangerous.
