In Casino, Martin Scorsese does what no other movie has done before: he shows the darker side of Las Vegas. It’s not about the opulence, neon signs, or gamblers rolling dice and winning big; it’s about the mob’s past ties to the city and how huge gambling corporations took over it. It’s also about a man’s struggle to keep his family together amidst the machinations of organized crime and a rapidly changing world.
The movie is a fascinating history lesson. It explains how the mafia lost control of a city that was basically minting money in the billions. It also explains how casinos evolved into what they are today. It’s a lot to take in, but it is well worth watching.
Besides being a great film with a top-notch cast led by Robert De Niro, Casino has some of the best writing in any movie ever made. The plot is complex without being confusing and the characters are well-defined and engaging. It is one of the few movies I can watch over and over again and never get tired of.
If you’re interested in playing at a casino, make sure you sign up for an account and keep your identification on hand. Most casinos require verification before you can deposit funds, so it’s important to keep that information handy. Once you’ve signed up, head to the cashier section and select a preferred payment method. Then follow the prompts and your funds should be available for you to play with immediately.
