As you might imagine in a heist movie called "The Croupier," there's a lot of artistic licence and liberty. Both in how the inner workings of the casino are shown, as well as the way the charactors interact. Nevertheless, Clive Owen is perfectly cast as the protagonist, a writer who's looking to cure his writer's block by taking a job in a glamorous casino.

Whether film or literature, gambling is often portrayed as a glamourous and positive expereince. Winning is seen as part and parcel of the whole gambling process. However, reality is very different. Sadly, the unrealistic bature of gambling that's shown in the media has an unrealistic knock-on effect for would-be gamblers.

If you're dealing with casino cheaters, what should you do? Well, remember when the blackjack cheater in the movie "Casino" gets his hand smashed with a hammer? Then his partner is offered either the cash he "won" plus the hammer, or to leave with nothing. Back in the day, casinos didn't mess around when it came to dealing with casino cheaters.
