Trivia

The exterior shot of the riverboat casino is an actual casino on the Mississippi River in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The Ameristar lettering on the "paddlewheel" was edited out and the movie casino's name put in its place. In the movie, the casino has closing hours while the Ameristar casino is a 24/7 operation (the entire parking lot beside the boat was emptied for the shot). Additionally, 2 large river bridges that would normally be at the left side of the frame are edited out also. See more »
