This reminds me of the exchange between Sam 'Ace' Rothstein (Robert De Niro – Casino, 1995) and a casino-floor employee, who is employed by Sam as a favor to young man’s uncle, who is connected with the Nevada Gaming Commission……
Ace Rothstein: Four reels, sevens across on three $15,000 jackpots. Do you have any idea what the odds are?
Don Ward: Shoot, it's gotta be in the millions, maybe more.
Ace Rothstein: Three f____' jackpots in 20 minutes? Why didn't you pull the machines? Why didn't you call me?
Don Ward: Well, it happened so quick, 3 guys won; I didn't have a chance...
Ace Rothstein: [interrupts] You didn't see the scam? You didn't see what was going on?
Don Ward: Well, there's no way to determine that...
Ace Rothstein: Yes there is! An infallible way, they won!
Don Ward: Well, it's a casino! People gotta win sometimes.
Ace Rothstein: [grows more irritated] Ward, you're p___ me off. Now you're insulting my intelligence; what you think I am, a f___' idiot? You know goddamn well that someone had to get into those machines and set those f___' reels. The probability of one four-reel machine is a million and a half to one; the probability of three machines in a row; it's in the billions! It cannot happen, would not happen, you f____' m____! What's the matter with you? Didn't you see you were being set up on the second win?
Don Ward: I really think...
Ace Rothstein: [interrupts] Wait! You didn't see that you were being set up on the second win?
Don Ward: I really think you're overreacting...
Ace Rothstein: Listen, you f____' yokel, I've had it with you. I've been carrying you’re a__ in this place ever since I got here. Get your a__ and get your things and get out of here.
Don Ward: You're firing me?
Ace Rothstein: I'm firing you. No, I'm not firing, I'm firing you, ya...
Don Ward: You might regret this, Mr. Rothstein.
Ace Rothstein: I'll regret it even more if I keep you on.
Don Ward: This is not the way to treat people.
Ace Rothstein: [b]Listen, if you didn't know you were being scammed you're too f____' dumb to keep this job, if you did know, you were in on it. Either way, YOU'RE OUT![/b] Get out. Go on, let's go.
From the CEO to the groom – they all should be fired/fined/jailed/suspended. As for a betting coup, the local pools are too week to maneuver without getting notice, so the logical playground is offshore. We have seen this play a few times on the Ohio circuit – a few years back the pools on a non-descript 5k claiming event, which has a 1/9 m/l favorite, were manipulated for a major offshore score.
