Hollywood studios are turning their attention to the world of advantage play in casinos. Filmmakers are developing a movie about Stephen Matt Morrow, who has over one million subscribers on YouTube. Known to his fans as Vegas Matt, he uses math and strategy to beat slot machines.
The story behind the movie
Comedian and filmmaker Mike Young is writing and writing the script for the project. The film is titled The Chop and production is planned for a future year. The plot will follow Morrow and his group of sharp gamblers as they attract attention on the casino floor.
Morrow recently made the news after winning a large jackpot on a slot machine. Staff at the Venetian casino escorted him off the property following his massive win. Stories like this highlight the tense relationship between advantage players and modern casinos.
More gambling on screen
Television networks and movie studios are showing a big interest in gambling stories right now. Another project is currently in development about a professional card counter. These shows and movies bring casino advantage play to a mainstream audience for the first time.
Casino players should remember that using math and strategy to win can sometimes draw unwanted attention from venue security.
