Best Gambling or Casino Movies?

[jaytechnos]

As someone who is into gambling and the casino industry in general, Casinos and gambling are often depicted in movies and TV series; I want to watch something, and thought, hey, CM has one of the most dedicated communities when it comes to gambling; Surely they must have some good suggestions

I want to find some hidden gems of movies or series that show gambling and casinos overall; For example, some of the movies I have already seen are Casino, Rounders, 21, Croupier and Ocean's Eleven. (That I can clearly remember lol).

What are some of the other hidden gems out there that involves gambling or casino environments that you enjoyed and would encourage someone to watch? It would be interesting to see what you guys have seen, and which ones you would suggest watching.

CoPilot returned the movies you mentioned above as well as the following:

• The Hangover (2009, stretching it a bit)
• Mississippi Grind (2015)
• The Card Counter (2021)

I've not seen either of the last two sorry, but it puts some more titles on your list.

The only movie, I believe, to accurately portray the gambling affiliate industry around this time. The scene when Justin Timberlake looks like he is going to be fed to a bunch of hungry crocodiles was particularly enjoyable.

Molly's Game
Wild Card (good film, not gambling focussed but an easy to watch action film)
Maverick (great Mel Gibson film)
The Cincinnati Kid

I always liked Leaving Las Vegas with Nicholas Cage and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas with Jonny Depp. Fear & Loathing isn't everyone's cup of tea, but is an old fav for some.

Who can forget The Hangover, a cult movie if ever there was one. Less gambling than most, but obviously set in Las Vegas.

That film apparently caused a massive headache in Vegas as groups of guys try to re-live the Vegas experience the actors in the film had.

Thanks guys! Will take a look! And yeah, that's one that I forgot, The Hangover, great movie.

Hard Eight also a great movie, and Croupier is a UK casino scene movie worth a watch

For hilarity The Hangover most definitely and Ocean's 11 of course has to be in there.

“Molly's Game” it's a fantastic true story about underground high-stakes poker games.

I would recommend looking into Asian movies, where gambling is a common scene, but some really cool movies.

God of Gamblers (you can find it on some sites streaming) is really funny. Just get over that its a slapstick movie

It's not the main focus of the movie, but the poker scene in "House of Games" is particularly good.
