Continuity mistake: In the bar birthday cake scene Cam is handed a piece of cake twice. (00:10:45)
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.
