The best gambling movies

Here are the 10 best gambling movies (and scenes) of all time according to Casinolisten.com.

1. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
“What’s that? Some place near Katmandu? Meet me halfway, mate”.

2. Rounders (1998)
“Listen, here’s the thing. If you can’t spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker”. 

3. Casino (1995)
“Nicky’s methods of betting weren’t scientific, but they worked. When he won, he collected. When he lost, he told the bookies to fuck off. I mean, what were they going to do, muscle Nicky? Nicky was the muscle!”. 

4. Any scene in Seinfeld involving Cosmo Kramer and gambling
George: “I’ll tell you what. I’ll bet you the next three people I ask, two of them will say he looks like Sugar Ray”. 
Kramer: “How much? $100, $200, $1000! C’mon Jerry, it’s a lock!”

5. The hangover (2009)
“You probably get this a lot. This isn’t the real Caesar’s Palace is it?”

(Not really a purified gambling movie, but it’s very funny and takes place in Las Vegas.)

6. Inkasso (2004)
Terrible soundtrack, good (Danish) movie, starring two of the best Scandinavian actors of all time: Bad boy Kim Bodnia and lovely Iben Hjejle.

7. 21 (2008)
“You know what I like most about Las Vegas? You can be whoever you want to be”. 

8. Colour of money (1986)
“You walk into a shoe store with a hundred and fifty bucks, you come out with one shoe! We were working on five thousand!” 

9. Casino Royale (2006)
“Do you believe in God, Mr. Le Chiffre?” 
“No. I believe in a reasonable rate of return”.

10. High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story (2003)
“The new pros were math teachers, bankers, lawyers, scientists. Guys who stopped in Vegas for a vacation and figured out they could make more money doing this than any shitty 9-5er”.

PS: We have to admit not having seen “Bugsy” from 91. It’s supposed to be a good one, and might have made it to this list. In the mean time, you can read about this gangster figure and other in the casino history here.

Gaming Club Casino was established in 1995, and it offers both download and instant flash casino games.
