Mia Rizzo

Biography
Mia Rizzo was an ambitious up-and-coming money expert with strong ties to the Chicago crime family of the 1950s and 60s. When the head of the Chicago family heard that Vincent Savino was in need of some personnel at the Savoy Casino in Las Vegas, they sent Mia there to help him out. Vincent was surprised that Chicago would send him a woman - and one so young at that, and perhaps believed that the heads of the family were not taking him very seriously.

Mia impressed Vincent however with her quick wit and sharp mind and eagerly took towards overseeing the casino's nightly intake as count manager. She also tried applying her knowledge to other areas of the casino as well, such as putting forth idea of the Soft 17 strategy, which would allow the house to hit on hands at the blackjack tables. Vincent shot this idea down, citing that it would only provide them with a short-term increase in revenue, but Mia went to her father, who in turn went to Angelo - head of the mob. Mia got her wish and the Savoy had a quick spike in turnaround at the tables. Vincent didn't appreciate Mia going behind her back and told her that he once attempted a similar tactic when he was running a casino in Havana; a tactic that ultimately cost him some major financial losses.
