The Riverboat Gamble

The Riverboat Gamble follows the gritty tale of Bucky Venders, a washed-up poker player whose luck has run out. Deep in debt and with a rap sheet that's more impressive than his poker hand, Bucky finds himself in a tight spot when the law finally catches up with him. Facing a lengthy prison sentence for a series of minor hustles, Bucky is given an ultimatum by a hard-nosed federal agent: go undercover and infiltrate a dangerous riverboat gambling syndicate, or face hard time.
