    Briefly, no, of course not. Luck is luck; good, bad, indifferent.

    I did consulting for the movie and I let the powers that be know that a cooler is just a myth and that almost no casino gamblers have ever heard of the idea. It's a great premise for a movie but it is not in the least bit real.

    There are people considered to be unlucky, and superstitious gamblers don't want them around. They would be considered coolers.

    A coolor is a cold deck. What I mean is that when poker cheaters switch decks on the mark the slang term for the new deck is cold deck. Cards in use heat up from friction and the heat coming from players hands. Poker cheaters who use this technique are called cold deckers.

    The Cooler was filmed in the old Holiday Casino in Reno, right. I recognized alot of the locations they filmed in Reno.

    A cooler is a dealer who will bottom deal or second card deal blackjack and intentionally bust a player with a bust card they hold. This is an illegal action on the behalf of the dealer and the casino, though it has happened and probably still happens.

    Coolers can also be a pair of dice that are unbalanced as to roll sevens more often and often introduced when the casino feels that the craps tables is to hot. I have seen a casino change the dice during a players hot roll despite objections.

    Lastly, there are some players who are such pains in the asses to be around that might be labeled as 'coolers'. They argue about every seven that comes up, about every losing blackjack and, and about every time they lose money they rant that the casino cheated them. I have personally been around such people and they certainly cool any hot action that might have been going on by their antics. Some people claim that the casino pays them to be like that, however that is not true at all, such people tend to just be lingering in most casinos.

    A jinx might be called a cooler. People who are considered 'unlucky' or bringing bad luck might be termed 'a cooler'.
