In 1998, the poker movie
Rounders, starring Matt Damon, was released. It did not do very well at the box
office, but the film has become a cult classic in the world of poker.
It’s credited by some for giving a big boost to poker, worldwide, and young
card pros like Dutch Boyd and Gavin Griffin have publicly stated the movie
first got them interested in hold ‘em. Anecdotally, according to players,
if you sit at a table in Vegas, it’s common for lingo with a Russian accent
(after John Malkovich’s character in the movie) to pop up after a bad beat or
two. The movie clearly did enter the poker culture.
Will Luck help horse racing in a similar way?
