Each team is is named for one of the casinos (i.e. Flamingo Pink Sox, Tropicana Showgirls, Caesar's Palace Romans.. etc)... 24 teams in all. Their placement in the leagues & divisions is based on where they exist/existed geographically. At the end of 10 seasons, the team with the lowest annual profit total gets "imploded".... (gets a big infusion of cash and gets renamed to a casino not yet in the game). All logos are based on the real casino's logo.

The A, AA, and AAA teams are sometimes named after MLB teams... in other words the New York New York Liberties AAA team is the NY Yankees, its AA team is the NY Mets and its A team is the NY Giants. Once the MLB teams are assigned then real minor league teams and fictional teams fill out the rest of the Casino League's minor league structure. Logos here are either the real logo (for real teams) or fictional ones I've made over the years (for fictional teams).

The Downtown League is an independent league of 8 teams from downtown Vegas (Binion's, El Cortez, 4 Queens, etc). These teams logos are based on the real casino's logos.

International leagues in England (12 teams, 6 each in the Lancastrian and Yorkist divisions), Italy (6 teams each in 2 divisions... Alfredo and Marinara), France (6 teams each in 2 divisions... Louis XIV and Napoleon)... all fictional as well... are independent, play a shorter schedule and have PCM's, strategies, etc geared more towards deadball type play.... lots of hits, lots of bunts and stealing, not much power, low strikeouts. The team logos here are all based on real soccer logos from those countries while the league names & logos are real baseball league logos from those countries.

The Hawaii (4 teams) & Venezuela (8 teams) winter leagues give me something to watch during the winter months. Real team names and logos here.

With so much going on, this one is slow going so I don't know how all that is going to work out....

Would've loved to see a quickstart from this one. Impressive!
