ट्रिविया
The real person, on which the character of Dan Mahowny is based, is now a consultant for a company that investigates fraud.

गूफ़
In the scenes where several yellow Metro Toronto Police cars appear together, at least three different shades of yellow paint are visible. (The police changed to white and blue cars a few years after the period of the movie because the yellow paint they'd been using was withdrawn; presumably the filmmakers could not find enough cars of the right shade.)

भाव
Psychologist: How would you rate the thrill you got from gambling, on a scale of one to 100?
Dan Mahowny: Um... hundred.
Psychologist: And what about the biggest thrill you've ever had outside of gambling?
Dan Mahowny: Twenty.
Psychologist: Twenty. How do you feel about living the rest of your life with a max of twenty?
Dan Mahowny: Ok. Twenty's ok.

क्रेज़ी क्रेडिट
At the end of the closing credits you'll see the strongroom door from the start again and hear the sound of the ball in a roulette wheel. Rien ne vas plus.

Unforgettable

I'm not sure that it was a fantastic movie, but it really sticks with me. I gamble quite a bit too, and I regularly see Mahoney-like behaviours at the casino. The guy next to me the other day started with $200, then went up, in my eyes undeservingly, to about $2500, and finally lost it all in a matter of half an hour. The entire time completely without expression, like a gambler, like Mahoney. No matter what happens to a gambler in the short term, he knows that it is ephemeral. Unfortunately, the ephemeral losses are a bit bigger than the ephemeral wins, and the cumulative loss is what you are stuck with in the end.

I liked the way that Mahoney was so boring. As though the things that make life interesting for the average person and the things that make the average person interesting all pale in his eyes to the passionate communion that he has with the game.
