Nicky does an excellent job as an enforcer but draws unwanted attention through his own criminal enterprise. The mob boss Remo Gaggi provides Sam with protection in the form of his old friend Nicky Santoro (Pesci). Money is skimmed from the count rooms and passed on to the Chicago mob.
Under Sam’s management, the casino’s profits doubled. To maintain appearances, Philip Green (Pollak) continues to act as the operation’s CEO with Sam running things behind the scenes. The opening Casino film scene (spoiler alert!) introduces Sam “Ace” Rothstein, a Jewish American selected to take over the management of the Tangiers Casino and Hotel by the Chicago mafia.
