Other mistake: SPOILER! The fourth game (the game with the marbles) can only be won when you win your opponents' 10 marbles and hand over a bag with 20 marbles (as is shown at various points during the game). But at the beginning of E7, Seong Gi-Hun (the main character who defeated the old man) takes a marble out of his pocket. This means he handed over only 19 marbles and should have been eliminated.

Plot hole: With all the cameras and guards watching, there's no way anyone would be able to use a cigarette lighter to help them pass the game.
