Probably because the card counter was an actor and the show was (I thought obviously) scripted.

American Casino is the show that The Casino wishes it was.

I agree with many of the comments here. I was hoping for a drama about running a business, somethign like startup.com but I'm getting none of that here. I've actually learned very little about what it's like to run a casino. Maybe Fox thinks a show about the business aspects would be boring.

I watched last night's episode and was shocked at the nudity. I am wondering if this was aired in other parts of North America? Specifically the Trashy Lingerie scene. With the witchhunt in the US over the indecency laws I found it surprising to see full booby nudity on an american network show. I am not complaining by the way. Up in the north here we get all the nudity you could shake a stick at.

We got gypped. All the naughty bits were electronically covered with casino chips.

Ahh man, that stinks. The only thing that made those annoying models worthwhile.

I tried again to watch this show but it feels so phony and staged. I am enjoying Blow Out on bravo much more.

David, you are correct! This show (The Casino) is not at all "real."

I watched it too, and didn't see any nudity, just a bunch of women in their underwear. I don't remember any pixelation or blocking out either. Either they did it expertly so it wasn't noticeable or they showed a different version. It could also be, I guess, that the pixelation has become so commonplcae that I don't even think about it anymore. Afterwards my wife and I both wondered why they had a warning about "sexually explicit" material before the segment about the Trashy Lingerie show, since there wasn't any nudity in it, just scantily clad women. Did we miss something?

And yeah, this show is so obviously staged that it's annoying. The "improvised" car race between Tim and Tom a few episodes back? They just happened to have a chopper camera there to cover it! What a coincidence.
