Vic Fontaine's, the hotel/nightclub the crew has been enjoying, has been bought out by the mob, and Vic is kicked to the curb. Many of the regulars are upset and trying to figure out what they can do to rescue the program. It turns out to be part of the original code from the guy who wrote the program: if they manage to get rid of Frankie-eyes, the nightclub will return to normal. The crew decides the best way to do this is to steal from the hotel.

Tropes used in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine/Recap/S07/E15 Badda Bing Badda Bang include:

• Caper Crew: the senior leadership of Deep Space Nine decides to steal $1 million from the hotel count room.
  • The Mastermind - the whole crew contributes in theory. Truthfully, when the Retired Thief joins, it becomes his plan.
  • The Partner In Crime - since the whole crew is involved, they all fit. Miles O'Brien and Dr. Bashir stand out, since they were there when the mob arrived.
  • The Backer - Vic, whose risking both his own "life" (his memories of the crew - since this is a hologram with safeties on, they won't lose anything), and supplying the High Roller distraction with his nest egg.
  • The Coordinator - the lack of this role is noticeable when the plan goes badly.
  • The pickpocket - Rather inverted with Bashir; he slips Ipecac into a martini.
  • The Distraction - most of the crew do this job, in different ways.
    • Vic is hanging out with the High Roller, they're distracting the casino customers.
    • Kira is hanging out with Mickey-eyes, the new boss.
    • Cassidy is "drunk" and telling the guard that...
    • Miles has stolen her chips, but he says he's innocent.
  • The Burglar - Nog is a safecracker, using his Ferengi hearing to listen to the tumblers.
  • The muscle - Odo is the one who will carry out a suitcase full of $1 million, and make it look easy.
  • The Retired Thief - they need one more person to do the role of High Roller, but no-one seems interested. An earlier conversation convinces Sisko to join them, and he takes over from there.
• "Stop Having Fun!" Guy: Sisko comes off as this for a good portion of the episode, until Cassidy points out that it's not fair to Vic (or to the others who enjoy the program) to punish them for the sins of history.
