He also comments on blackjack, poker, and card counting scenes in "The Hangover" (2009), starring Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper, as well as "The Cooler" (2003). Stanton analyzes how casino security deals with cheaters in "3000 Miles to Graceland" (2001) and "Croupier" (1998).
    Stanton is a casino boss and director of table games for Station Casinos in Las Vegas. He has over 20 years in the gaming industry and game security.

      Because you’ve been conditioned by society to view casinos as “the bad guy” even though that isn’t true. Media and society like to portray them as an evil money grubbing entity, simply because people lose money there. That just doesn’t fly. A casino is a place for entertainment. You go there to have fun, and gamble if you want to. No one who has ever lost money in a casino has lost it due to outside forces. People choose to gamble, people choose to use their money there. It’s not the casino, it’s the player. People don’t know when to quit, or just not gamble in the first place. But whenever anyone loses money for any reason they have to blame someone/something else, never themselves.

    It doesn't matter how realistic or unrealistic the casino security, storage, or heist of Ocean's 11 is. It's impossible simply because in order for them to 'walk out' with 160 million dollars, each one of Ocean's crew would have to carry over 300 pounds (136 kg) of cash.

    I was the 21 dealer in "the Hangover", and I worked in a casino (Venetian) at the time. I was in the business for almost 25 years. I have to say that our scene was more realistic than you give it credit. The movie is a farce, so of course some of it isn't real, like all the attention on the table. But the dealer calling out "splitting fives" is exactly what we do when something strange happens. The scene is so realistic, that you had to point out the pit boss & floorman wouldn't hide their mouths, which is true. But nitpicking. I'd like to be the expert on these casino things.

      Card counting is statistic, so when ignorant people catch on that you win more than you lose, they can just bet the way you bet, and also win more than they lose. The casino doesn't really care that one person is winning money, because that happens all the time. The casino does care when everyone starts winning, and the blackjack table turns into a losing operation.

The robber has walked past who knows how many cameras already, and then looks into a camera from two feet away and then spray paints one? Come on. 🤨🙄

      I don’t think the reason for the spray paint after having already been observed on camera is necessarily to hide identity. But since it is Hollywood we’re talking about here, the camera gets painted just as the observer is looking away for them to then look back, notice there’s no “feed”, they do the whole ‘tap the screen’ cliché, then do the, “eh whatever”, right before kicking their feet up on the desk & burying themselves back into the magazine or newspaper.

    The count room skim scheme in "Casino" was based on a real thing, but there's a lot about how that worked which was condensed and dramatized for the film.
    The real skim was crazy-elaborate--involved false walls that they'd use to hide the skim money, and then someone not related with the count room at all would find another way to get inside the wall and harvest the skim. It definitely did not entail a "fat f--k walking out with a suitcase".
    Also the skim mostly involved coins rather than paper money, because the coins were generally sorted and then weighed on balances, and by slipping in fake weights it was quite easy to cook the books.
    But that would've been too difficult even for Scorcese to adapt, so the process was simplified for the film. The book the film was based on tells the true story of the skim--it's a very short read and I highly recommend it.

      Casinos are there to make money, and they will get rid of a customer that is costing them too much. Similar to any other business that realizes the customer is costing them more money than they take in.
      Now if your card counting encourages other people to come in and lose money while you barely win, you would be more likely to slide under the radar. But if you make it obvious then the casino crew will act appropriately.

He got a knock on the door really early, around 7-8am. It was security saying they gave him the wrong amount and need $2500 back. They threatened to arrest him. He was going here quite often. It was astonishing. What if he spent it? He had no reason to believe he couldn’t.

This person's story sounds silly but to assert that someone couldn't overpay just because security is standing there and nthe lady that paid you was focused and didn't make a mistake is nonsense. I once withdrew 2000 bucks from a bank and ask for 400 in 20's. The lady counted out 16 hundred dollar bills then did something else on and answered a co-worker's question. Then counted out 20 hundred dollar bills instead of 20 20's. I thought I just wasn't going to get any twenties and she asked me if I needed it in an envelope. I said yes. I watched her put the money in and then finished up my portion of signing. When I went to pull the money out a few hours later there was $3,600.

My blackjack knowledge is limited, but in the options I know the value of the hole card doesn't need to be known until the point it would be public.
    EDIT: found the answer, guess Google decided to be friendly this time. In the US if the dealer shows an Ace or 10-value card they have to check if they have a natural Blackjack, in which case the hand is immediately over before any more player actions. I learned the game on a computer program that did Insurance instead for those situations.

    yo @insider this one gave me an idea - do a Mathematician/physicist rates equations in tv and movies. would be really interesting to have them identify what those equations actually are and whether they are real or not and whether they're related to the subject matter of the scene

    I don't go to casinos because the house always wins. Even when the house loses they just say the slot machine was malfunctioning and still win.

    I remember a casino heist movie called "Hells Angels 69". The two protagonists are idiots who mess with two organisations you don't want to mess with: LV casinos and the Hells Angels.

    Casinos : it’s against the law to cheat us
    Also casino’s : we cheat everyone

      With few exceptions, casinos cheat *nobody.*
      It turns out its also against the law for them to cheat. Who woulda thought?!
      Thankfully, they don't need to...there's a neverending stream of imbeciles who line up to make donations.

    The most unrealistic scene of hangover card counting is that it’s like an ATM - you shift the edge from house like 51-52% to player 51 ish percent. You still lose - a lot. You’ll just win over time

    The placebo effect is very real and powerful. A cooler will work if the gamer knows there's a cooler at the table and believes in his bad luck.

    You can tell he’s legit because he’s a buzzkill who clearly makes money. This is why I don’t go to Vegas. Also I don’t count cards.

    10:40 A lot of the Roll to Win video craps tables were removed from casinos because there was a lot of dice sliding going on and only one dealer at the table.

    card counting is best accomplished with teams. someone plays and keeps count. when count is good they signal an accomplice who comes in and bets larger amounts. otherwise if you bet small and then bet big when the count is good they will spot that and ask you to leave.
