Ocean’s Eleven: What Does the Film Say about Las Vegas?

Ocean’s Eleven was a blockbuster hit that made headlines because of its all-star cast and top notch Hollywood billing. It is not exactly a online poker movie in the truest sense of the word, after all the characters only briefly visit the poker tables. It is, however, a gambling movie. It shows what life is like in the top-notch casinos on the strip. It is a particularly good film if you are trying to understand the security features of modern casino scene. Because the film is about a high stakes heist, the characters carefully explain the security features that they will need to break through to be successful. Remember that the movie is a fiction, and that casinos have the prerogative to use other security systems than are seen in the film.

For the modern online poker player, Ocean’s Eleven shows that security is as important to the modern casino as the games themselves. Most players will not ever find themselves on the other end of the camera, but is still important to know how the casino keeps tabs on you. Everything that you do in the casino is watched and monitored, as Ocean’s Eleven gives you an unusual glimpse at the surveillance systems that are used to monitor you. Isn’t it important to know your environment if you want to be a habitual poker player?
