Casino is a gangster film, but unlike Goodfellas or even Good Samaritan, it doesn’t glorify mob life. In fact, it exposes how fucked up it is. It’s all about the booze, the violence and the corruption. De Niro is in top form as the cold-blooded gangster, and Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci round out the rest of the excellent cast.
Casino is also the first movie to really dig deep into the past of Las Vegas and its ties to organized crime. Most movies just scratch the surface, showing only the glitz and glamor of partying and weekend getaways. Scorsese’s film is different, exposing the seedy underbelly of the gambling mecca while still portraying its opulence and neon signs.
Gambling has been around for thousands of years, and it is a popular pastime in many cultures across the world. Whether you like to spin the wheel, roll the dice or try your luck at blackjack, there is no shortage of places to gamble online. Just be sure to choose a licensed online casino with seals from regulatory bodies, such as Curacao eGaming and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
When you decide to make a deposit, log into your casino account with your username and password (and keep them safe). Then head to the cashier section. Select your preferred payment method, enter the amount, double-check to avoid mistakes and follow the prompts to complete the transaction. Your funds should appear in your account almost instantly.
