For those of you laughing at the chips here's a true story:
In the mid 90's a group of us from the Manhattan clubs discovered a game run by Greeks in Queens. Small but nice room, fantastic food. One day I was walking in Manhattan down a random street and passed a gambling supply store w/ the very same chips the Greeks used in the window. I thought 'Free money, Greek mobsters. Free money, Greek mobsters'………..and kept on walking.
I wouldn't have bought them anyway, tbh, but you'd have to be insane to try to smuggle in chips in a game run by 'those people.'

Just went to check the rating on Rotten Tomatoes - can't recall seeing an audience rating this low before? 
Went back to check some of the more silly movies have watched for free from Amazon Prime on a rainy Sunday afternoon, like the cat move Nine Lives ... and even that got 42%! 
Also checked to see if there's been any more news about the poker movie Aaron Sorkin's written and directed - it sounds like some industry people have seen some previews, and feel it may have some promise?

There are those who suggesting that Molly’s Game could be a contender for the best gambling film of all time, although it would be up against some pretty stiff competition. Remember a young Steve McQueen losing out in that final game of five card stud to Edward G Robinson in the Cincinnati Kid from 1965? Or Matt Damon and Edward Norton, seriously out of their depth in the Texas Hold’em cult classic, Rounders, from 1998? Or Ocean’s Eleven? The rat pack original or the Clooney, Pitt remake. We’re going to have to wait a little while longer to find out ...
