Casinos combine 2 things people are most excited about – entertainment and money. When you step into a casino, the place is buzzing with people around the tables and slot machines who are having a good time. It’s a place where champagne glasses clink and there’s an incredible energy that just can’t be ignored.
However, gambling can be a dangerous game and many gamblers lose their money. It’s important to know your limits and not be afraid to walk away when you’re losing. Whether you’re playing blackjack, roulette, or slots, it’s important to be patient and play smartly.
The world of gambling is changing. Once, the mob ran Vegas, but they lost control when real estate investors and hotel chains started minting money in the billions. They used their deep pockets to buy out the mafia and set up casinos that are free from any hint of mob involvement. With stricter regulations, these new casinos have made it very difficult for mobsters to compete.
With a powerful cast headed by Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, Casino is a thrilling drama that never slows down. Even at over three hours long, the movie never feels too long and Scorsese’s editing and taut narration keeps Casino lean and mean throughout. Casino is a fascinating look at the history of Las Vegas and how it continues to reinvent itself.
