As for Sylvester, it is unknown if the A-lister will appear in the series or serve solely as a producer. In an official statement, the Rocky star said: “Douglas J. Swanson’s book captures the incredible life of Benny Binion, a New West icon who was a conduit connecting many worlds, some glamorous, some dangerous, some shady, but all intriguing, while helping to build the foundation for both Las Vegas as we know it and the explosive worldwide popularity of poker.
