Danny Ocean and his ten accomplices plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously. If that was so easy to prove the illegality (And Reubens signed the damn thing), Reubens wouldn't have gone catatonic. The Night Fox issues the challenge, BEFORE the transportation of the egg happened (He told the Ocean crew that "the egg WILL be carried by armed truck, from Paris to Rome"). And if he has no intention to cash in the chips at Banks = then the point is Moot. "I went to two heart doctors at Cedars-Sinai [in Los Angeles], and I had dye and an MRI and all that stuff, and the doctors disagreed [on treatment]. By law, all chips need to be cashed at the casino that issued them. There's no way for Benedict to cash in that many chips without Banks' approval. The board implies they know Danny has been involved in several other robbery and fraud cases, although he was never officially accused or charged, which Danny simply confirms that he was indeed never charged.

Linus' fingerprints around the stolen display case, Roman's fingerprints all over the tempered card shuffling machines, employment records of two of Danny's known associates in the factory that produced the tempered dice, the fact Danny pretty much confessed to it on camera (What casino doesn't have cameras on its front entrance, and Bank's are capable of measuring pupil dilation and heart rate so I doubt they can't register sound), the fact that Danny's known accomplices have left their finger prints on all the stuff.

Especially since walking away would mean Benedict would have them killed. Among all the other "normal" people (like you and me), at least a few would be sensible enough to cash out, at the very least so they can try some other casino or bet it all at the stockmarket.

And the hooker flyers have left the casino before the "Swat team" arrives (see below). Thus, if Roman did so, none of the other crew members would have known that Livingston's arrest was just as planned. In Ocean's 11, Saul's role was to impersonate as an arms dealer, and named himself Lyman Zerga for the job. In Ocean's Eleven, Saul was very nervous, when appearing as Lyman Zerga, given that he was visibly sweating and shaking. Why the whole fuss about Yen, Danny and Linus getting into the vault first? Odenkirk captioned the photo on Twitter. "I have this Forrest Gump-ian way of touching something and it becomes a hit!" All casinos owned by Terry Benedict. Even if someone suspects anything, that Mexican factory does not seem the kind of place that keeps perfect record of its employees, especially with the riots upending everything; on the contrary, they have a whole factory-full of grateful guys ready to swear they did not see the Malloys, no sir; heck, Virgil and Tuck wouldn't even have used their real names anyway! Copyright 2023 Meredith Corporation. The critical consensus reads: "Easygoing but lazy, Ocean's Eleven blithely coasts on the well-established rapport of the Rat Pack royalty".
