Gambling (in all it's forms) and loansharking are the two most consistent money makers. But other things, like extortion, drug trafficking, labor racketeering, stolen goods, and various types of fraud are also major money makers.

The sex trade is largely passe for the mob. Both prostitution and the porn business. But they're still big into strip clubs.
Thanks for that ivy league.Do you think that some of the low level guys were perhaps just normal people running their own little gambling rings and then were shaken down by the gambino soldiers and forced to work for them making them apart of the much larger consopiracy?

I only mentioned sex trafficking because of the arrests last year of gambino family members and also because they seemed to be from several articles heavily involved with both prostitution and pornogaphry during the seventies and perhaps into the eighties.
