One night, his cousin Adam stops by the casino to play blackjack, bringing a rich associate named Greg Weinstein along with him. Although he earns a successful living, he is a disappointment to his father, Marty, a New York City federal judge. In 1999, Seth Davis, a 19-year-old Queens College dropout, runs an unlicensed casino in his home near the campus, catering to college students. It won the Special Jury Prize at the 2000 Deauville Film Festival. The film was nominated for several awards including a Black Reel Award, a British Independent Film Award, and two Independent Spirit Awards. Younger said, 'I walked in and immediately realized, 'This is my movie.' I mean, you see these kids and know something is going on.'

The film was conceived when screenwriter Ben Younger interviewed for a job at brokerage firm Sterling Foster.

It's a bitter irony that without breaking the law they never would have gotten control of Vegas, but their constant law-breaking is also what eventually gets them thrown out.Boiler Room is a 2000 American crime drama film written and directed by Ben Younger and starring Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Nia Long, Ben Affleck, Nicky Katt, Scott Caan, Tom Everett Scott, Ron Rifkin, and Jamie Kennedy. Just as the mob was able to move into Vegas and quickly establish a residency through illegal means, they were also forced out just as quickly over the same illegalities. Green ends up turning state's witness and reveals everything about the mob's role in extortion and fraud. The FBI finds out about the mob's scheme through an unrelated wiretap on Artie Piscano, which eventually reveals the faulty foundation of the entire Tangiers casino. However, the mob is never able to overcome the illegal foundation of the casino in their quest to keep control. However, Rothstein can't get a casino license due to his criminal history and associations, so he and Stone devise a scheme to stop his license application from ever being officially processed - allowing him to manage the casino as it is not rejected. The plan is predicated on another mob associate Sam 'Ace' Rothstein managing the Tangiers operations.
