The Last Casino

The Last Casino (also known by its French title, La Mise Finale) is a 2004 English-French-Cantonese-language Canadian drama film about a card counting scheme.

[1] The film was produced by Greg Dummett, Lorraine Richard and Madeleine Henri, directed by Pierre Gill and written by Steven Westren.

The Last Casino stars Charles Martin Smith as Barnes, Katharine Isabelle as Elyse, Kris Lemche as Scott, Julian Richings as Orr and Albert Chung as George.

[3] The MIT Blackjack Team was a group of students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology who were trained by Bill Kaplan.

[4] Kaplan delayed his entrance to Harvard University because he believed he could create a mathematics model that would assist him in being successful at blackjack.

[4] Mathematics professor Doug Barnes plays the game of blackjack at casinos using a tactic known as card counting.

Elyse asks him if he noticed any pros at the casino that night and he points out Scott, saying that it is obvious that he is a card counter.

Barnes tells them that Orr is not a man they want to mess with and the students devise a plan to play at all the casinos in the Ottawa and Quebec area.
