There are a number of things that make me doubt the. Veracity of the article.
Today roulette wheels use algorithms? Really? I thought it was same old tried and true physics!

there is no doubt at all that the article is true. this is his New York Times obituary - he died last August
there is a thread about him at bjtf - there are several there who knew him and one or two who teamed up with him in other ventures

there is a great quote from the Doc in the article referring to casino managers who hassled him. he said:
"if casino managers don't like to lose they should sell vegetables"
the foolish sayings of a rich man often pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him
