in fact, the writers were surprised when told by the producers that mgm studios would finance the film, though all "mgm" casinos (including one used by the real mit blackjack team) are owned by mgm resorts international and are no longer related to mgm studios. in reality, as another dvd featurette reveals, the casinos (including mgm resorts) saw the film as an attention-getter; people who saw it would be encouraged to go to vegas and play: some just for fun and some attempting to count cards but failing to learn or memorize the entire strategy or making too many mistakes. the film withheld critical strategy details (such as the conversion from the "running count" to a "true count"), and most beginning card counters underestimate the number and value of the mistakes they make.

disney later filed a countersuit, claiming that mgm/ua and mgm grand, inc. had conspired to violate disney's worldwide rights to the mgm name in the theme park business and that mgm/ua would harm disney's reputation by building its own theme park at the mgm grand hotel and casino in las vegas, nevada. on october 23, 1992, los angeles superior court judge curtis b. rappe ruled that disney had the right to continue using the disney-mgm studios name on film product produced at the florida facility, and that mgm grand had the right to build a las vegas theme park using the mgm name and logo as long as it did not share the same studio backlot theme as disney's property. the mgm grand adventures theme park opened in 1993 at the las vegas site and closed permanently in 2000. disney was contractually prohibited from using the "disney-mgm studios" name in certain marketing contexts; in those instances, the park was called either "the disney studios" or "disney studios florida".
