Check out this cool list we made of 10 Casino Movies on Netflix Right Now:

1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

This is an absolute classic, based on the cult novel by Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. This crazy tale of excess follows reporter Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his sidekick lawyer Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) on a mission to find the American dream. Raoul Duke is a sports reporter reporting on the Finke Desert Race in Las Vegas. He has a penchant to push things to the extreme, especially his consumption of mind-altering substances. The story takes place on the last Vegas strip where the two anti-heroes turn on, tune in and drop out, all the while falling victim to their own follies as paranoia overtakes their thoughts. The director Terry Gilliam really did put the pages on screen and this truly is one of the greatest adaptations of a novel.

2. Casino

Another Scorsese masterpiece starring Robert DeNiro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci. Casino is a look at behind the scenes of a mob-run casino. DeNiro plays Sam, the manager of the casino with mob ties.

3. Girls, Guns and Gambling

Need I say any more?! Well, I will. This movie stars Christian Slater as a poker playing Elvis impersonator who gets into hot water when a priceless artifact, a mask, is stolen from one of Vegas’s heaviest hitters by someone dressed as Elvis. So the chase is on to get the mask back before someone has to pay. Things get messy and characters from the Vegas strip get intertwined as everyone wants the mask. Girls Guns and Gambling is an over the top romp on the Vegas strip.

4. Owning Mahowny

Unable to help himself, Eddie dips into the bag to fund his gambling habits. Before he realizes, he’s spent most of the money and his friend is about to get out of prison. Win It All also stars Keegan Michael Keye, of Keye and Peel fame. It’s a humorous perspective of a hopeless addiction.

9. Casino Royale (1967)

An oldie but a goodie! The plot of Casino Royale is a bit ridiculous. Bond (David Niven) is forced out of retirement to find out why all MI6 spies are being killed. It turns out they are being killed by sultry women because they can’t resist sex. The Evil Noah’s plan is to train up an army of sexy women to kill all men over 4 foot 6 so all the women will be his mwaaahooohahah. The slapstick humor is a far sight different from other Bond films. The film didn’t achieve any critical acclaim, although made a lot of dough perhaps due to Burt Bacharach’s award-winning soundtrack.

10. Bugsy

The story of one man’s dream to build a gambling mecca in the desert. Bugsy Siegel is a long time gangster with a plan – a huge plan.
