TBTL Friday: Holy Rollers, The Christian Card Counting Ring

Tune in today for a fascinating chat with folks from the new documentary Holy Rollers, which details what was once one of the nation’s largest blackjack card counting rings, one made up exclusively of born-again christians. We’ve got the film’s director, and two of its stars to discuss their beginnings as youth group and worship leaders to their high point sitting on a bankroll of 1.5 million dollars, to getting kicked out of just about every casino in America… and what it meant for their christian faith.

Check out the trailer here.

The film plays this weekend as part of The Seattle International Film Festival, it might be the only screening where there’s an equally likely chance the audience will break into ‘The Gambler’ as they will ‘Awesome is our God’.
