Here in the Pittsburgh/Western PA area,the Mob as we knew it is gone forever. Gambling,as always, produces a ton of revenue,but nowadays the kickups are going to the cops and politicians,not any outside Mob Family.Sports,numbers, and high roller private Poker/Table game joints will always thrive here. Plus you still have the juice,prostitution, and and on a smaller scale,drug businesses.
Nowadays it's loosely allied groups of guys running their rackets. Everybody knows everybody,and if not,introductions are made. Once Sonny is gone,the only thing that will change is the number of pieces cut from the pie.
