Gambling is a popular pastime for many people all over the world. And while some may enjoy simply playing casino games or betting on sports, others love watching gambling movies. In fact, some would say that gambling movies are almost as good as the real thing! We decided to take a look at some of the best gambling movies of all time and see how closely they reflect reality. Keep in mind that not everything in these movies is accurate, but they still make for great entertainment!
Before the pandemic, online casinos were still relatively unknown, and now it’s no surprise that internet gambling is flourishing. The ability to play online any time and from anywhere has revolutionized how people approach the business. If you haven’t played at an online casino before, check out the bet365 casino app. Movies are another story; while we enjoy a good game of poker or roulette as much as the next person, it’s sometimes more fun to simply sit back and watch one. Here are our suggestions for the greatest gambling movies ever:
This Martin Scorsese classic tells the story of Sam “Ace” Rothstein, a Jewish-American gambler who is drafted by the Mafia to run their casino operations in Las Vegas. While Ace is initially reluctant to take on the job, he eventually agrees and quickly becomes successful at it. However, his success attracts the attention of the federal government and the mafia, both of whom want a piece of the action.
What we love about this movie is that it gives a behind-the-scenes look at how Las Vegas casinos operate. While some parts of the movie are exaggerated for entertainment purposes, it’s still fascinating to see how everything works. If you’re interested in learning more about casino culture, this is a must-watch.
This movie follows the story of Mike McDermott, a law student who pays his way through school by playing poker. When his friend Worm gets out of jail and owes money to some dangerous people, Mike tries to help him get out of debt. However, this puts Mike in a tough spot, as he has to decide between his studies and gambling.
While the movie is fictional, it does a great job of depicting the world of professional poker. Poker is a popular game all over the world, and this film gives insight into the strategies and mind games that players use. If you’re looking for a movie that will make you think, Rounders is definitely worth checking out.
This classic tells the story of two con men who team up to take down a mob boss. To do so, they set up a fake horse racing betting operation and lure the mobster into placing bets. When he loses money on the fixed races, they clean him out.
The Sting is a great movie for anyone who enjoys a good con. While the movie is set in the 1930s, the techniques used by the con men are still relevant today. This is it if you’re looking for a movie that will keep you on your toes.
The Gambler is a remake of the 1974 film of the same name. It tells the story of Jim Bennett, a professor who has a gambling problem. When he borrowings money from a gangster and can’t pay it back, he must place increasingly risky bets to try and win the money back.
While The Gambler is a fictional story, it does shed light on the reality of gambling addiction. If you or someone you know struggles with gambling, this film may be tough to watch. However, it’s an important reminder of the dangers of unchecked gambling.
Croupier is a British film that follows the story of Jack Manfred, an aspiring writer who takes a job as a croupier to research a book. However, he quickly gets sucked into the world of gambling and finds it hard to resist the temptation to place bets.
This movie is great for anyone who wants to learn more about casino culture. It offers a realistic portrayal of what it’s like to work in a casino and the kinds of people you’ll meet there. If you’re interested in casinos or gambling, Croupier is definitely worth watching.
The Cooler is a unique take on the gambling genre. It tells the story of Bernie Lootz, a man who is “the cooler” at a casino. This means that he’s responsible for cooling down hot streaks and helping the casino win money. However, when he falls in love with a waitress, he starts to question his role at the casino.
This movie is definitely darker than some of the others on this list. However, it offers a different perspective on gambling and casinos. If you’re looking for a film that will make you think, The Cooler is definitely worth checking out.
These are just a few of the best gambling movies of all time. These films are a great place to start if you’re interested in learning more about gambling or casino culture. Whether you’re looking for entertainment or education, there’s something on this list for everyone. So, what are you waiting for? Go check out one of these movies today!
The Shins made an appearance on last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, where they revisited their classic Oh, Inverted World single ‘Caring Is Creepy’. Watch the performance below.
The group is currently on a North America tour celebrating the 21st anniversary of Oh, Inverted World. Sinc the release of their last album, 2017’s Heartworms, they’ve shared the single ‘The Great Divide’ in 2020.
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy has shared a cover of Ramones’ 1983 track ‘Outsider’, which was written by Dee Dee and appeared on the 1983 album Subterranean Jungle. Produced with Mark Nevers in 2016, the rendition features the Fabulous Superlatives’ Chris Scruggs, William Tyler, Peter Townsend, and the late David Berman. The cover artwork was made by Elsa Oldham. Listen to it below.
Last December, Will Oldham and Bill Callahan released Blind Date Party, a compilation of all 19 covers the pair have released since 2020. Superwolves, his full-length collaboration with Matt Sweeney, came out earlier in 2021.
Run the Jewels were the musical guests on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night (August 10). Backed by DJ Trackstar and Dap-Kings saxophonist Cochemea Gastelum, Killer Mike and El-P delivered a performance of ‘A Few Words for the Firing Squad’. Check it out below.
‘A Few Words for the Firing Squad’ is taken from Run the Jewels’ 2020 album RTJ4. The duo recently joined forces with Danger Mouse and Black Thought for the song ‘Strangers’, which also features A$AP Rocky.
NNAMDÏ has shared another preview of his forthcoming LP Please Have a Seat, which arrives October 7 via Secretly Canadian and his own label Sooper Records. ‘Anti’, which follows previous cut ‘I Don’t Wanna Be Famous’, is accompanied by an Austin Vesley-directed video. Check it out below.
“I really like teetering on the edge of playful and unsettling and I think we did that with this video,” NNAMDÏ remarked in a statement. “The song/video is a journey through how generational and childhood trauma can manifest itself in different ways as an adult, especially if never confronted. Basically the things that help create your origin story. I’ve had this video idea since the song’s conception and Austin really brought my treatment to life.”
Vesley added:
What excited me about adapting a treatment written by Nnamdi was that it had so many of the elements that make his music great — playfulness and surprise, some darkness and contrasts, depth in a short time frame — and also that it was clearly coming from a very personal place for him. Taking a trip through his mind is a thrill, and I’m pleased we were able to draw out this broader aspect of Nnamdi’s relationship to the song and share that. On a technical level I’m so proud of the crew and cast of this thing for making it all happen in a single day. From sunny backyards to darkened, dilapidated hallways, everyone was on this wild ride that day and did such an amazing job keeping the narrative together and maintaining the beauty of the images.
Jackie Cohen has unveiled her new single ‘The Valley’, which is taken from the upcoming album Pratfall. The track features Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering on the 12-string guitar as well as backing vocals from Shaun Fleming (aka Diane Coffee). Check out its Marly Ludwig-directed video below.
Discussing ‘The Valley’, Cohen explained in a statement:
This folk song is for the Valley girls and Ventura Boulevard pervs. It’s my most autobiographical song. A love letter within the context of Stockholm Syndrome.
When I wrote this song, I was listening to a lot of Joni Mitchell and Radiohead and Paul Simon, all artists who have mastered the glitteringly pretty and haunted song about being back in a town. This song, for me, is like those big amalgamated memory sequences that happen in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Vanilla Sky.” Both films are about these deeply melancholic characters who aren’t ready to reckon with themselves, and they kick and thrash and self-sabotage until they are so badly injured that they elect to undergo fantastic dystopian medical procedures meant to erase their pain and affect ignorant bliss. There is no bliss. Their formative memories bubble up and mash together and distort and zombify.
When I wrote “The Valley,” I was just beginning to notice the bubbling. It’s a sentimental song about the catastrophe of realizing who you are a second too late and the weirdly serene experience of looking back in grief as everything unravels. For a while, it really felt like I had escaped the trappings of my upbringing. It really annoys me how everything really does boil down to childhood.
I think it’s really cool that we made an orchestral piece without an orchestra.
Pratfall is set for release on September 23 via Earth Libraries.
Braids have returned with a new single called ‘Retriever’. It marks their first new music since the release of the 2021 tracks ‘Slayer Moon’ and ‘2020’. Take a listen below.
The Montreal-based band – composed of Raphaelle Standell-Preston, Austin Tufts, and Taylor Smith – described ‘Retriever’ as “a 9-minute journey track, simple in its sentiment of love and friendship, yet complex in its lush arrangement and textural experimentation.” They added: “We returned to our roots with this one, exploring new corners of sound, collaboration and a ‘DGAF’ attitude with where we ended up. This song is a trip back to euphoric freedom and lightness during a time of intense isolation. We were happy to travel there, and for you to now dive into it.”
Braids’ most recent album, Shadow Offering, came out in 2020.
California-based singer-songwriter Cornelia Murr has released a new single called ‘All Souls’. It marks her first new music since the 2021 single ‘Hang Yr Hat’. Check it out via the self-directed video below, along with Murr’s upcoming tour dates with Dana Gavanski.
“‘All Souls’ is about how love expands and enriches us even when it’s not returned,” Murr explained in a statement. “It’s about how grief can turn ecstatic as it connects us to the whole, showing us who or what we love in everyone and everything, reminding us we’re made of the same love we wish to receive. It’s about how our capacity to feel, even in grief, is a super power.”
Cornelia Murr 2022 Tour Dates:
September 9 – Bristol, UK – Rough Trade
September 10 – Frome, UK – The Tree House
September 11 – Brighton, UK – The Prince Albert
September 12 – London, UK – Moth Club

Ellie Bleach has shared a new single, ‘Tupperware Party’, lifted from her forthcoming EP No Elegant Way To Sell Out – out October 6 via Sad Club Records. It follows earlier offerings ‘Big Strong Man’ and ‘Doing Really Well Thanks’. Listen to it below.
“A tupperware party was an event hosted by pyramid sellers in the mid-20th century to sell tupperware products to their friends,” Bleach explained in a statement. “I thought it would make the perfect backdrop for this story – even the background characters are desperate to break out of suburban monotony. Tupperware Party is about a wall-street banker who hates his life, so embarks on a quest to find his first love, a girl from his improv group in college.”
