How about an online casino movie?

   Posted by: michy   in General

We have seen almost everything in the movies. Vampires, witches, gigolos and the list goes on. But I haven’t seen any movie on online casino. Is there any? I wonder how would the story go? In Ocean Eleven, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and the rest of the company robbed casinos in Las Vegas, so how would you rob an online gambling facility? I mean it’s not like there is a vault for the money that the operator would get for online casino gambling, right? Hmmm… Well, they can make something like the Hackers which starred Angelina Jolie where an employee from an oil company was stealing money from the said company which Angelina and the rest of the gang discovered when Joey Pardella which was played by Jesse Bradford, the novice of the group hacked into the company server and dowloaded a part of a garbage file. That part of the garbage file turned out to be a file that steals money from the company through salami slicing. Accoring to Wikipedia, salami slicing is a fraudulent practice of stealing money repeatedly in extremely small quantities, usually by taking advantage of rounding to the nearest cent (or other monetary unit) in financial transactions. It would be done by always rounding down, and putting the fractions of a cent into another account. The idea is to make the change small enough that any single transaction will go undetected. Hmmm, this might be a good idea for a movie, but this could be a drag right? I mean we’ve seen it in Hackers and I don’t think movie makes would buy the idea. Like, each company has their own security systems. Even the oil company in the movie has an IT group who even detected that someone hacked into the system and downloaed a file from the garbage bin. Imagine, it’s like the company hired security men to guard the trash of the company. So you could just imagine what kind of security measure these online casinos have. They can even detect if your card is fraudulent or not. So movie makers would definitely say no. Well, yeah, you can make anything possible in the movies, but making a movie like the Hackers again is definitely a movie that I wouldn’t want to see. If they want to make a movie on online casinos then it would definitely something different from the concept that I have. Hahaha, it would definitely be a bore.
