So I bought a casino (2 Viewers)

It's amazing to think this show purchased 60 blackjack tables, 4 roulette tables, 5 craps tables, 6 pai gow tables and 400 chairs from Vegas for 10 minutes of 1 episode where you could barely see 10 tables.

Maybe it was just edited out?

Perhaps someone wanted to screw the producers?

I think just big budgets.

It’s cheaper than digitally expanding the gaming floor, or worse, needing to go back for reshoots because it feels like a small room from some shots, or worse yet, trying desperately to fix the footage digitally because the size of the room doesn’t match the number of tables

Welcome to the Lotus Hotel & Casino!

We have 1 craps, 1 blackjack and 1 roulette table with the original felts used in the movie. I tried to take some screenshots of the show today but Disney+ is tricky and don't allow computers to take screenshots. At best I can take a photo of the screen.

At 13:35 of the episode (episode 5), there's a very nice close up shot of the craps table, but throughout the rest of the episode you mostly just seem glimpses of the tables and surrounding dice chips. You also see a cool shot of the prize wheel which we sold several months ago in the background while some of the characters are having a conversation.

I think it's episode 6 but same time stamp. I took the Disney blocker as a challenge but here it is below. Just have to turn off hardware acceleration on any chrome based browser.

They were clever with the chip stacks. Most of them were hollow metal tubes with a sticker wrapped around them with a chip glued to the top.

Only 5 betting positions on the blackjack table, very out of the ordinary.

5 spots (betting positions) are used in "single-deck" and "double-deck" blackjack games. 6-7 spots are generally used in 6-8 deck shoe games.
