- Oscar Isaac will headline the series as Robert “Bobby Red” Redman, the president of a premier Las Vegas hotel casino, and will serve as an executive producer.
- Betty Gilpin is cast as Marla Blake, Bobby’s wife and a high‑profile lawyer who can navigate the city’s darkest corners.
- Alec Baldwin will play Paul “Primo” Clark, a legendary business technician and longtime chairman who acts as a surrogate father to Bobby.
- Martin Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions joins the project as an executive producer, with creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien serving as writers, executive producers, and showrunners.
