Does anyone know the source of the nicknames Big Casino and Little Casino in regard to Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid? Where did these names first show up? I can't find anything in The Saga of Billy the Kid. Was this made up for the movie Chisum or is it an actual historical reference? Thanks!

Something to do with when Pat dealt in a / his casino and Billy frequented said place rings a bell.

Hope someone can pinpoint it with documentation. But Pat had owned/ managed a bar. Billy liked socialising at bars. I suspect that is the origin.

I remember reading that Paulita said that they used to even gamble sitting down on the street, and Garrett lost most of the time, it must have come from there.
