Some of the exhibits are hands-on, which is always a plus for a museum. You can pull the arm of a 1940's slot machine or take a spin at the roulette wheel, and at the end of the tour the visitor can handle a legally disabled tommy gun.
This museum also has a pretty good gift shop for all of your gangster type souvenirs. [Thomas Phalen, 01/16/2010]
