Bernie Lootz might just be the unluckiest man in Vegas… or he’d better be because that’s his job. Bernie is what the casino’s call a “cooler,” someone they put near a guy on a hot streak to literally have his bad luck rub off on them. This job is needed to pay off the $150,000 he owes the casino. His job and his life fall into jeopardy when he falls in love with a cocktail waitress and his luck changes.
