Continuity mistake: In the opening scene where the professor asks Ben "what can you tell me that's gonna dazzle me?" they sit in his office with a lit fireplace behind Ben, who wears a suit and tie. When that scene continues at the end of the movie with Ben answering that question, he is shown sitting in a totally different environment and outfit. (00:07:20 - 01:53:38)

Factual error: In the scene when Ben was at the blackjack table, he had blackjack and if you look carefully at the chips that he received, he received 2 $5,000 chips, 2 $1,000 chips and a $500 chip for a total of $12,500. Blackjack pays 3 to 2, so there is no way you could have a $12,500 payout on a blackjack. Ben would have had to bet $8,333.33 in order to get a payout of $12,500, which would have been impossible.

Suggested correction: The actual bet that he made was for $25,000, so if you look carefully, there were 5 blue chips ($5,000) and next to it was another $25,000 in $5,000 chips, and then the $12,500 extra, for a total of $37,500.

Factual error: When they first arrive at the casino, Ben falls down the stairs with his suitcase into the casino. He would have never been able to walk into a casino with a suitcase. The guard would have stopped him right away and told him that he couldn't bring it in.

Kianna: Everybody knows to split eights. My grandmother splits eights.

Trivia: When Cole is beating up Ben for counting cards, before it changes to the next scene, you can see Cole's arm stop for a brief second, which gives away that there is more to that scene.

Question: What was the club they went to in the middle of the movie? Not the strip club, it was a dance club. The entry was a long hallway with red lights inside, then it opened up to the big dance area. Does anyone know? Thx.
