Rounders: 'Rounders Hotel & Casino'

Matt plays Matt McDermott, a card shark, who aims for the professional poker path in Las Vegas and the World Series Poker. He bet 30 thousand dollars, his law school tuition in a poker game but losses it all.

Matt turns over a new leaf, six months later seeing him in law school and working as a truck driver. Although Matt isn't playing high stakes at poker, his girlfriend Jo, is still not impressed with him showing off his skills at a judge's poker game.

Jo becomes seriously concerned when Matt's old buddy, Worm, is released from jail. Her fear that Worm will drag Matt back into gambling became a reality when Matt turns his back on her and help Worm settle his debts, and goes back to the road of gambling.

Rounders is due to be released on the 13th September 1998 (US)
