If Don Ward would have just told Ace Rothstein that the probability of the 3 machines hitting in a row was only in the billions LOOKING BACK, maybe Ace wouldn’t have fired him


“Ace Rothstein : Ward, you're pissing me off. Now you're insulting my intelligence; what you think I am, a fuckin' idiot? You know goddamn well that someone had to get into those machines and set those fuckin' reels. The probability of one four-reel machine is a million and a half to one; the probability of three machines in a row; it's in the billions! It cannot happen, would not happen, you fuckin' momo! What's the matter with you? Didn't you see you were being set up on the second win?”
