We chat about how it all started, what it’s really like filming in casinos, and how Vegas has changed over the years – from comps and coin-in to resort fees and tight slots. Matt shares his top tips for visitors, his favourite spots downtown, and the one machine he still can’t resist.

In this episode of Lights and Dice, Steve leads us deep into the shadowy world of the Nevada Black Book — the state’s official list of people banned from every casino, sportsbook, and gaming hall in Las Vegas and beyond.

Who gets on it? Mobsters. Cheaters. Inside men. And sometimes, legendary gamblers who pushed too far.
We’ll uncover the law behind the list, the infamous names that shaped it, and how it still protects the credibility of gambling in 2025.

From Tony “The Ant” Spilotro to high-tech roulette hackers — this is the story of the people Vegas could not allow to play.
