The Royal Casino like Las Vegas has its share of characters and action; daily scenarios that keep Johnny Franco, General Manager, eagle-eyed. But 'Six Pack' Mike's major concern when he enters daily is the expeditious manner in which the cocktail waitresses deliver his first Budweisers, and whether he will still be conscious when the other twelve arrive. TEN TO CALL are words every poker player has heard when a dealer wakes him from his procrastination. It is the call to action that unfolds the daily humorous incidents, sex, drugs, and fast lane life style that characterize the world of casino poker. TEN TO CALL also depicts the tragic world of gambling addicts like Mike Sung Byong whose propensity to 'play cards' rather than poker sees him losing all...wife, family, business...labeled by other Asian action players as an easy mark. It is a world of glamour spiced with meltdowns and oddballs that makes 'Ten To Call' illuminating and entertaining.
