I did not like it. If Gorson was a pro gambler he would not be getting VIP treatment. Casino VIP's are losers only. Vegas does not give comps to people who are beating them.

I know I am out of it anymore, but why do women at parties have to play kissy face with each other (not that I really mind)?

I think it would have been a lot more entertaining and informative if the majority of it wasn't staged. The behind the scenes stuff of how a casino works is great -- but the staged stuff like the high roller is pretty lame IMO.

Why do you people fall for these staged and phony Mark Burnett produced shows. Have you ever seen anything on Fox that is for real. Those girls at the frat party were no doubt hired.

The only thing that was legitimate was that prick supervisor in surveillance. When casinos change ownership the same people barred from the previous owner get barred again.

It was ok, but I think every bit of it is a put on and staged. Makes no sense when you think about it. The "professional gambler" has TV cameras all around him, as well as the owners. Just very obvious that they are all aware of each other and what's going on. Same goes with the woman being a man. Just seemed too fake.......

This show will not be a hit like the other two reality shows Brunett produces ;Survivor and The Apprentice....mainstream America will not buy this one...

I found it worth watching but most people won`t...people around here will look in , no doubt...

Hey Mr. Shrink,
What was your take on Gorson going upstairs with that he/she?? Only difference between you and him and I know you'll be red flagged in Vegas cause you are a professional gambler,lol,is that you'll go to the room KNOWING it is a he/she!!

I know. It looked contrived. Whatever that means.

Nevada casino's use the term right to refuse service like any other business.

I thought the show was really disappointing. The episode started out with potential, but just got more fake and staged as it went on. That player "Big Chuck" was a funny guy and really carried the whole episode but it all seemed like anything but reality.

This thing really does seem phony, as if all this
is going on while 3 cameras are within 2 feet of the blackjack table.
American Casino on the Discovery Channel is the real deal, check it out.
