I've seen all those and, unless I'm mistaken, the idea comes from the Wikipedia article on him that says -

"Michael Posner is a businessman and casino owner in Aruba. Posner is the owner of the Excelsior, Holiday Inn and Grand Holiday Casinos."

Now, admittedly, I haven't done much reading on Posner over the years. There isn't much to read. But, as I said before, my understanding is that the Excelsior is the casino he operates. It is the same casino that was called the Grand Holiday Casino back in the 1990's. And this casino is in the Holiday Inn Resort. It seems that people have read these different titles and assumed there were 3 casinos.

(But maybe I'm way off.)

The 28 members figure was in 2007. And that was before Al Tornebene died.
