The Four Deuces had a lot of competition, for example the Frolics Club wich first was owned by other gangsters.They offered their "products" with lower prices.So theres a story that one night the Capone gang took a corpse and jammed it into the furnace of the Frolics club.THen the cops came to the club and found the burned body and the joint closed...for a while

Before that the Levee was a Black Hand territory.Guys like James Belcastro and Sam Cardinelli came from the Levee.Also Jake Guzik's father was a Levee saloon owner.

The Everleigh Club,wich was a high class brothel was owned by two infamous crooked alderman, “Bathhouse” John Coughlin and Hinky Dink Kenna.The two of them were connected to many Chicago gangsters and were the main players in the prostitution ring and they used to take street tax from more than 200 clubs and brothels.

During the mid 1910's the biggest owners on the Levee were Big Jim and Ike Bloom.They worked for the First Ward wich had a lot of offices on the Levee back in thouse days.In 1920 both men lost their licences when they got discovered for supporting another political party.The same year Colosimo died and later Bloom joined the First Ward and became a politican so slowly the other criminal organizations took over the Levee
