Philip “Phil” Hannifin
Regulation during the 1970s casino era
A Control Board chair whose regulatory career belongs to the same decade as the classic Argent-era casinos.
An enforcement background
Buddy Frank’s remembrance describes Hannifin’s probation-and-parole background and appointment by Mike O’Callaghan in 1971. It recalls his emphasis on the investigative side of gaming regulation. [2]
