Online Caribbean Stud Poker

Caribbean stud poker goes to the movies

A 1955 French film from director Jean-Pierre Melville, 'Bob Le Flambeur,' involved a plot against a casino in Monte Carlo. In 2003, Neil Jordan directed a remake of the French original and called it 'The Good Thief.'

Nick Nolte as the protagonist, an art-loving, charismatic gambler of few scruples and Ralph Fiennes as an art dealer both received critical acclaim for their performances. A rogues' gallery of entertaining characters rounds out the dramatis personae. The cinematography shows the French Riviera to spectacular advantage.

'The Good Thief' has been called the thinking man's 'Ocean's Eleven.' It is a must-watch for aficionados of casino games. There is an exceedingly clever twist at the end, which we will not spoil for you. However, when you watch the film, pay attention at the end when Nolte's character is playing blackjack. He enjoys a run and then requests a private table. When he is moved upstairs in the casino, it sure looks like Caribbean Stud that he's playing, rather than blackjack. We at any rate agree that $1 in the progressive jackpot says he's playing our game. Watch the film and see what you think.
