Officially, Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley broke up their partnership in 1981, after the end of \"Las Vegas Gambit.\" Quigley had not been actively involved in day-to-day operations for several years, anyway, as I understood it from talking to his daughter once (who's now a costume designer in LA). Since their company was a Filmways subsidiary (about to become Orion), the parent company assumed full ownership of their series and Heatter began his own independent production company--meaning that Orion hired him to produce the revival of \"High Rollers,\" the show his original company created, in 1987.

Wasn't the last HQ production the now-legendary Casino, or was that Heatter solo?

Casino was an HQ Production. Ask Jekalb329 about it, or read his legendary posts about how his uncle was a contestant......

That stuff was funny!
But Casino really did happen....right?
zachhoran:
Supposedly it did, but I don't recall seeing it and I don't believe any tapes are on the trading circuit. It was hosted by Jim Perry and taped for NBC, who wanted to find a venue for him after Card Sharks got cancelled(they tried two pilots with him before his $otC gig began, Casino and Bob Stewart's Twisters)
