Casino is a gambling hall with flashing lights, roaring slot machines and tables where gamblers place bets by hand gestures or chips rolling down the table. Table games like blackjack, baccarat and poker require skill and strategy, which attracts more people than the simple luck of a roll of the dice or spin of a wheel. Casinos also make money by charging a commission on the money played, known as the rake.

Director Martin Scorsese dials the gangster lifestyle up to 11 in Casino, which follows fictional Tangiers Hotel owner Sam “Ace” Rothstein (Robert De Niro) as he funnels cash out of his Las Vegas operation for mob elders back East. The film features multiple back-and-forth narration dumps from Ace and his best friend from back home, Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), and is populated by a trove of character actors, all brought to life with the aid of meticulous production design and an exhaustively sourced soundtrack.
