I do really like the movie, Casino. Even though it’s protagonist is an ignorant political hack in real life.
Yes, supposedly it is a true story...................
“I do really like the movie, Casino.”
Well, duh-niro spoke the absolute truth at the very beginning of that movie......”we are here for one reason, to take your money”
I found this documentary very interesting and confirms casinos don’t want people to win big evrn if it’s done legally.

“I do really like the movie, Casino. Even though it’s protagonist is an ignorant political hack in real life.”
I’ve read the book (along with Pileggi’s “Wise Guys”) which is really an excellent read. What’s interesting is that Frank Rosenthal, the protagonist in real life, comes off more as a CPA or businessman than a mafia thug that De Niro played.
As usual, the book is much better than movie and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
