    I gotta say this reality show seem pretty real to me. I've spent a lotta times i the Binions over the year b uckin up against their dices table action; and there was always shennanigan and skullduggeries goin on and eccentric character lurkin about the joint. Still, I gotta wonder if the cat in the show what got the gavel for counting card was the kewl-j his-self, hey hey????

    That show Casino Confidential only lasted one season because it was mostly crap. Like those two guys supposedly playing Blackjack, notice the dealer was not using casino chips, she was using some kind of colored fake chips. The whole thing was a setup with actors. The whole show was cheaply done and fake and that's why it didn't last.

    It's interesting to hear your perspective on the reality show and your experiences at Binions over the years. It's not uncommon to hear about some questionable activity happening in casinos, so it's understandable that you might see some similarities between the show and real life. As for the person who got caught counting cards, it's hard to say for sure if they were the "kewl-j" or not. It's possible that the show exaggerated some aspects of the story for entertainment purposes. Regardless, it's always entertaining to watch shows that feature eccentric characters and interesting storylines. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
