Casino was based on true events
@roaminglion Denzelwas a gangster cop in training day. Man that was a great movie also based on a true story. I love Denzel Washington he’s one of my favorite actors. I’m definitely a tv junky lol
Me and my wife watched the equalizer last night and boy Denzel played that part awesome. These Russian mobs are they really like the movies portray or they really over exaggerated? It’s hard for me to believe our government would let’s these dudes get away with that kind of brutality but you never know. Tony Sorpano is more realistic even it might be a little exaggerated. Maybe in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s it was bad but in the 80’s is when the government started cracking down hard on gangsters because Casino was based on a true story. Maybe the government lets some of it fly under the radar because it’s that dangerous? I don’t know. Lol
"based on a true story" doesn't mean it's real. Casino was extremely exaggerated. Really the only thing that was similar is the mob had a guy running a casino who was well known for being a wizard at numbers.Me and my wife watched the equalizer last night and boy Denzel played that part awesome.

Martin Scorsese's 1995 film Casino is based on the real-life careers of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal and Anthony Spilotro in Las Vegas. The movie is also based on Nicholas Pileggi's non-fiction book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas, which tells the story of Rosenthal's time in Las Vegas and his ties to the mafia.
Yes I know, as I said it was about a guy that was a wizard with numbers for the mob."based on a true story" doesn't mean it's real. Casino was extremely exaggerated.

There are a multitude of changes from the book to the movie. The movie is nothing like the book, lots of things were embellished and exaggerated.
The same author wrote Wiseguy, which was adapted into Goodfellas. That movie was actually closer to the book than Casino.
Many of those scenes in Casino were actual events that took place in 70s , 80s
@forum-titan folks watch to many movies which is okay as long as you keep things in perspective. My son-in-law and one of my best friends has 400 guns between’em and 20k bullets. I have 2 9MM and around 400 bullets just for safety but if things go south how many bullets do you think you’ll get off before somebody takes you out. They either watch too many exaggerated movies or I don’t watch enough lol. Everything is exaggerated today especially with guns and action movies. IMO unless you’re trained military or police you ain’t going to last longer in a gun fight that ole southern will which my goal is to at least take out some criminal before I get took out lol. Don’t get me wrong, my son-in-law house ain’t one you want to break in because your odds of dying go way up but so does his. Gangster movies are exaggerated just like other hero movies are lol
I said exaggerated and embellished, not made up. Some examples of creative license:Many of those scenes in Casino were actual events that took place in 70s , 80s
- Frank Rosenthal ran four Casinos, not just one.
- His wife had a daughter before they were married, and they had a son as well as another daughter.
- Frank was not a loyal husband, he had many affairs
- The writer and director stated the driveway scene was extremely exaggerated for dramatic effect.
You are right though, I shouldn't have said "the only thing that was similar is...". That was a mistake. It gets a lot of things that happened correct, though in an exaggerated way. Sorry for the confusion.
