So far I'm bored to tears. This better pick up. The commercials made it sound like it was going to be about the players and there would be contestants. This is just a simple reality series about two schmucks that run a casino.
I'm pretty sure The Discovery Channel is doing "American Casino" (I'm positive somebody's doing it, maybe it was The Travel Channel) and I'm pretty sure they can do this show better than Fox can.

Yeah, this show sucks. I won't be watching it again.

Odd, that's the impression I got from the commercials. The early commercials made it seem like it was people with prizes(actually, I thought it was just about that dumbass who risked all his possessions on a roulette spin), but after the first couple it was pretty clear that it was about owners of a casino.
I don't give a good damn either way, reality TV pisses me off nearly all the time.

Hmm, camera in the room with them. This isn't a setup.

Is any of this show actually real? It looks like it's setup, and 75% of the people seem to be acting... Really bad acting. This show is horrible.

TiVoing this thing now, but American Casino on A&E is actually pretty good. I watched the last episode, and you got to see two fights broken up, and one involving a party hitting a security guard, the VP and Hotel Operations gal in each other's face because they screwed up with some VIPs, and what they were willing to do to lock up a high roller's money. It's nothing too different from "Las Vegas," just no wild storylines and a different prospective of the casino industry.

so far this one seems really really scripted and fake, like that "Restaurant" show. Thats the fucking fakest reality show i've ever seen. Half the dialogue is all dubbed in later and all the "employees" are actors and shit.

Relative spoilers aplenty, too many to use the damn spoiler tag, so skip this post entirely if you care about Casino and have not watched the first episode:

There are some serious ringers in this show. The girl that was given the lapdance, I believe she's some girl with some promoter company. There's a picture that FMT posted of her with Jeff Garcia, which still doesn't tell me that Jeff Garcia is straight, haha... Anyway, perhaps she saw a camera and said "sure, I'll whore myself out."
The "high roller" they had is hilarious. Perhaps he was inebriated, but he seemed like a genuine jackass that I've run into in my many travels. But if you could not tell after listening to the "woman" that she was not all that she seemed, cash in your hetero-card.
The singer and entertainment manager was all scripted. Unbelievably scripted. Just way too tacky.
I'll give this show another two episodes, but if it's just more crap, I'm saving my TiVo space for something else. In the meantime, DO watch American Casino as it is way more genuine, although there are some slow points...

It wasn't that bad of a show... I saw it last night. Of course, it seemed far better after I sat through that North Shore pilot. A masterpiece by comparison. I don't think North Shore even has a plot other than to hook together schemes to have people put in sexual situations.

This show sucked.
American Casino did it a LOT better.
And to the guy that said it was fake like The Restaurant-- no big surprise there- it's the same producer.
Anyway, I believe both Last Comic Standing and American Casino are on tonight. Think my TV schedule's all put together.
