John Gotti Jr

He showed up in Manhattan all the time. I bought my father a house in the Poconos, and I bought him that house for a reason. I said, Dad, I've got this house now. He bought it from a friend of ours named Louis Dudo. He bought the house. He said, Dad, go stay there. And if anybody needs to see you, we'll bring them to see you, okay? He said, look and say, that's not who I am, John.

That's not who I am. He was out five days a week. And even when he wasn't out, he was out. Because he was out in the city five days a week and hitting the boroughs five days a week being seen and touched. Shouldn't have. Shouldn't have. Nobody else did that. But he had everybody see him and touch him and know he was real. He did that five days a week.

And then on the sixth day, and even the seventh day, Sunday, which belongs to us, okay, should belong to his family. After dinner, what did he do? He drove to the Bergen Hunting Fish Club and played poker.

and everybody knew to find him there, another 20 guys would come in on Sunday night and mill around the table and hang out and watch him play cards and go in the back and eat a veal cutlet sandwich. He was always available. The only time he wasn't available was Saturday night. He was with my mother, dinner in a restaurant or home, and Sunday afternoon, dinner at home.

Other than that, he was available. In essence, seven days a week. Was he a good poker player? He's a good card player. His preference wasn't poker. His preference was continental. He loved continental. You were saying that.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I adopted that with my father. That was his preference. And he used to play a high stake game, him and a lot of the old timers.

My father paid all his debts. And I used to see him. I used to watch him gamble and play cards. And he used to play a high stake game. Petey Castellano and Jimmy Brown Fiella. These guys had money. These were money guys. And he would put up a couple of guys in the game, like Jackie. Jackie the actor didn't have much money. He was a hardworking grinder.

My father would tell him, Jackie, get in the game. And he'd put him up. And at the end, like if my father won, he would tell Jackie, he'd say, how'd you do? And Jackie would always overestimate his loss. Instead of saying, I lost $10,000, he'd say, I lost $15,000. He'd say, you cocksucker. The guy ain't fucking paying attention. He lost $12,000. And he'd give it right back to him.

And he'd throw it right back to him. He'd give it back to him. He just wanted the thrill. Because maybe when he was younger, you know, it was that he had to be in that hunt. He had to be in that hunt. And sure, winning that money was something special. But as he got older, let's go post-85, 86, 87, he had plenty of money. He wasn't gambling for the money anymore. It was just for the thrill.
