*BitchInSheepsClothing: Bob steals Scott and Kate’s money and is a greedy person but hides it with a nice “town hall” facade.
*BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Their house burns down, Scott and Kate loose their casino but their daughter does go to college and they slowly but surely rebuild, but they likely should earn more money than what they gave to her.]]
*CorruptBureaucrat: Bob, the town council executive takes all the casino money for himself and for his own selfish needs, and the town cop, Officer Chandler doesn’t do anything about this [[spoiler: until the very end.]]
*CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: The movie’s plot takes off after they lose all their daughter’s college money in a single game which Scott should’ve been wise to not bet with.

*EurekaMoment: Scott gets the idea to turn their house into a casino while on their trip.
-->What if ''we'' were The House?
*GoodParents: Scott and Kate go out of their way to make their daughter succeed in college even if they have to break the law.
*LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Bob is arrested for his theft of the casino’s money.]]
*NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Scott is named “The Butcher” after accidentally chopping off Carl, a card counter’s middle finger in a confrontation. This makes him feared and thus leads to no more cheaters.

*ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight
**Even when ordered to shut down the casino, Scott and Kate still keep at it knowing their daughter will go to college.
