Plot hole: To rig blackjack card shuffling machines to make the dealer bust and everyone else get 20 or 21, its success would depend entirely on knowing the exact number of people at the table at that time. Perhaps the filmmaker is assuming all seats at the high-stakes blackjack tables would always be filled during a "soft" opening, but that seems extremely unlikely.

Trivia: Throughout the movie, quotes from The Godfather are said by the actors. For example, Reuben says, "I hear cars pulling in. I hear whispering conversations. Linus crying. Why don't you tell me what everyone else seems to know?" This is almost exactly what Don Corleone is asking Tom Hagan in the Godfather in the scene where he finds out Sonny has been killed. Another quote from the Godfather is when Danny is trying to pull a on Banks, he says, "What I want, [pause] what's most important to me. . ." In the Godfather, Michael says this about his father's safety at the meeting where he kills McCluskey and The Turk.

Question: So for blackjack, they rigged machines. For roulette, they used magnetic wheels that the balls would attract too, and the slots had a sequence. What I don't understand is the science behind the lighter and the dice for the craps table. Can someone explain how the purple powder the twins added make this possible? And how pressing the lighter made it roll to the desired roll.

Answer: The powder was explained briefly but it's a magnetic powder and they lighters are at the frequency to pull the dice down. However both Danny and rusty would still have to time it perfectly as there is no way a powder would be orientated correctly.
