The film industry has always had a strong influence on public opinion. And from the early years, many films started to include the casino and gambling theme as part of the main storyline. But not all casino films are the same. Some will cover the loss, others will depict the winning side. No matter the kind, we love them all.

But why are casino movies important to the gambling industry? Firstly, they break the misconception about casinos being reserved only for the rich and famous. And secondly, they remove the stigma that being in a casino will lead to unfortunate events and that the only people who visit them are addicted gamblers. Casinos are so much more and that’s what the film industry is eager to demonstrate to the audience.

In this article, we’ll list casino films that every fan of gambling should see, but also those who are ready to take a look at the casino industry from a different angle.

Casino Royale

One of the best James Bond movies ever to be made is “Casino Royale”. Another James Bond 1973 movie bore the same title, but this one has all the elements of the elegance, wealth, and risk that one expects to see in a high-stake casino venue. And that’s exactly what the viewer gets by following James Bond into his adventure in one of the most prestigious casinos in Montenegro. The British spy, portrayed by Daniel Craig, is on a mission to discover the plans of the infamous banker called La Chiffre. In order to do that, Bond joins a high-stakes poker game, and (spoiler alert) wins in the end.

Molly’s Game

Based on the true story of Molly Bloom, a once Olympic skier, who wanted to become the leading lady in the world of high-stakes poker games. This is a great film for those who like to browse the Internet in pursuit of the best online casinos and have nothing to do afterward. It can give you another perspective on high-stakes poker games, who plays them, and why. Molly Bloom runs poker games, but she’s targeted by the FBI since her business is gambling. And although she tries not to break the law in any way, which we can see in a scene where she goes to consult with an attorney, she’s arrested and all her hard-earned money taken from her. In a film filled with twists and emotions, we can see that the world of gambling isn’t reserved only for men.

The Hangover

“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”, and there is no better film in the world to describe this sentence than “The Hangover”. One of the best comedies in the world is a must-see for any gambling fan. When you find the best online casino Quebec, and you want to take a break from the Internet, this is the film to turn to. It will make you laugh, surprise you, and even shock you. The main storyline revolves around 4 guys who go to Las Vegas for a bachelor boys’ night. The next morning they wake up, not remembering anything from the previous night. The groom is missing, one of them has a wedding ring on, a tiger is in the bathroom, and a baby in a closet. The three friends go on a mission to find their missing friend and discover what happened the night before.

Ocean’s Eleven

Danny Ocean is a professional thief who has one mission – to gather a team of the best con-artists who will help him rob three casinos in Las Vegas. But not just any three casinos. The casinos that Danny has in mind are MGM Grand, the Bellagio, and The Mirage. If they succeed they will take over 150 million dollars from Ocean’s enemy Terry Benedict. Starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts, this is an action-packed film, perfect for any casino fan.

To Sum Up

There’s a great chance that you have already seen all of these films if you are a true casino and gambling fan. If, by any chance, you have missed some of them, make sure to watch them as soon as possible. And even if you have. Films like these can be watched again and again, and still be loads of fun.
