Sam Maloof's use of oil finishes in his woodworking creations is significant because it enhances the natural beauty of the wood, provides protection against wear and tear, and creates a smooth and lustrous finish that highlights the craftsmanship of his pieces.
Maloofs of the Sacramento Kings
It is owned by the Maloof family. They also own the Sacramento Kings basketball team. ------------- It used to be owned by the Maloof family but was claimed by creditors in 2011. TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Associates now own 98% (49% each). The maloofs were left with a token 2% ownership and a promise to keep the maloofs as the front man of the casino, but thats probably just to allow the Maloofs to save face since they were good debtors up until they ran out of money and the casino was reclaimed. the same is true with the Maloofs other marquee property, the NBA sacramento Kings. with no more family money to support the team, the payroll is the lowest in the league and the arena is run down. a similar investment group will probably end up buying the team (a group led by Ron Burkle who has already offered to buy the team but was resoundly rejected by the Maloofs...someone should really tell the Maloofs that they are totally broke!)
Ed Deline (Season 1-4, starring, Season 5 guest star), (James Caan), Former President of Operations and Head of Security of the Montecito Resort & Casino, and also a former member of the Board of Directors. Deline was, at one point, one of the main characters of the series, portrayed as a loving husband and father, as well as a father figure to his employees, especially Danny. Nevertheless, he is a tough man and doesn't hesitate to use violence to get what he wants. As the former Director of Counter Intelligence for the CIA, his past has come back to haunt him on several occasions, most recently during his daughter's wedding in "Father of the Bride Redux." During season 3, Ed was briefly in retirement until the Maloofs tried to hire him for their potential casino in Macau. Eventually Ed returned to his position when Casey Manning bought the casino. Ed left the casino since being wanted by the Las Vegas police for killing Mary Connell's father and has since gone into hiding. Ed went back to work for the CIA and is currently in Paris, France. He makes the point of not being called Mr. Ed, Edward or Eddy.
