Sinbad Mixer: Mix Your BTC Quickly
To be honest, I don't recall watching any gambling related movies yet but I'm definitely interested in some good movie title recommendations. I've seen some gambling animes like 'Death Parade' or 'Kaiji' which were pretty good and I really enjoyed them, but I haven't explored gambling movies yet. If anyone could suggest any good gambling movies, whether they are documentaries or success stories about gamblers kindly reply to my post!

People who haven't watched "Uncut Gems" are losing out. A game that doesn't immediately conjure images of "casino/gambling" but nevertheless features high-stakes wagers, urgent scrambles, and nail-biting suspense will have you talking. Like having an all-in poker hand riding on a single card turn, this film will hold your attention from beginning to end. An absolute must-watch!
I have have watched the trailer of that movie and at first I never know it was a gambling related until I hard few lines that portray that and indeed I have searched for where to watch the full movie,  I don't know if you can share a link for me to watch the complete movie.

Uncut Gem was widely promoted and the movie trailer was projected on money view board but when the film was eventually realised,  it was not available on most popular online movie channels which make the movie to become unpopular at the end.

Also saw this movie as I'm Sandler's fan. This is where I also notice Sandlker's phone theme features BTC. He is a businessman who sells fake watches and also a gambling addict with so much debt to his brother-in-law. This is a messed up story of a man with a gambling addiction affecting his family, he cheats and pawns someone else ring but comes out as a winner at the end thru gambling. And got his revenge against his brother-in-law who keeps busting him because of his debt.  Not much for a spoiler but there's more to the story.

There's a movie about a group of MIT students that was assembled by their teacher and it's called "21". It seems inspired by a true story. It's basically about card counting and operating as a group in beating the dealer in Blackjack. What added more color to the movie was the casino's head security trying to catch the student's teacher which was his target for the longest time.
Sometimes in these kind of movies, you don't see of the trick is done, it's like stupid magic trick and gamblers are shown some sort of geniuses that don't have any human errors. That i hate. But the fact that this one was based on real events made it so much interesting. The way they were using signals and how casino were spotting signals was interesting. Top tier cast made it so much more enjoyable too.

Sometimes I see a clip of young Matt Damon playing poker against the owner of a small gambling hub. I don't know the title and haven't seen the full movie but I remember that owner keeps eating oreo or whatever cookie that is.
It's called Rounders.

I loved it. Most realistic poker movie i've ever seen. There were some actually good poker playing involved. I would absolutely recommend anyone interested in poker to watch this. Poker playing scenes made sense and i am betting that they were designed by actual pros. Matt Damon analysing hands in the game by narrating his thought prorcess at the background was brilliant to watch. And it wasn't talking down to viewers in condescending way. At least it wasn't to me.

And from my personal research, casinos and gambling related movies dont come with the best of titles, i mean they dont have that Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr kind of title where you feel "oh my gosh, this movie must be smoking hot, i must watch it" na na, casino/gambling related movies dont come with such titles, and maybe that is why are not always that popular because they dont really pick people's interest, but like ive said before, title of a movie most times dont tell if that movie will be interesting or not.

They do pick people's interest and they can have that feeling, just not strictly because of the casino theme. Take Casino Royale as an example. It has that feeling, but not because of the casino, but because of that Bond suspense, and the fact that he's on the clock. The movie and the game is paced faster because he always has something else to deal with while playing. It's that feeling of time running out and the suspense of not knowing what tricks other players are going to show makes it a great movie.

If you're looking for recommendations, I love the movie Rounders. I watched it as a kid and I could see it again without feeling boredom. Rain Man also has a nice card counting scene, although the movie isn't about gambling.

I hope for this thread to become one of the mega threads centered only on casino/gambling related movies and its discussions only, so to keep the thread as clean as possible, and from possible hijack from spammers ...

I haven't seen any gambling related movie before now but I know it will be interesting.  I mean a movie that the whole story line is based on gambling and not the one that has a few gambling scene. This thread will be nice if the purpose is to fight against gambling addiction. I know there is different ethics in movie industries based on different countries. But a good gambling movie should have a story line that discourages gambling addiction.

I've watched one of the most prolific and hilarious movie on gambling which titles B13, maybe some of us would have watched this same movie because it's all about gambling but in this time, a bet that uses human lives as stakes which is very bad, one of the main actors that features the movie is 50cent, you could imagine a situation where gambling like that expressed in the movie exist and people still do it all because of the big money involved.
Any gambling movie which people gambled with their lives should be purely fictional and will never exist
I don't really think that B13 is a gambling movie instead it is more about drug and a gangsterism. But the actor was deceived to go and destroy a a setup that looks like a missile and after all was done,they found out that B13 wasn't a weapon for mass destruction but it was a trick that was played on the actor to recover the object.

Of course, the first movie that comes to mind is "Casino Royale" from the James Bond series. In my opinion, it's the best Bond movie with Daniel Craig in the lead role and one of the best Bond movies in general. It not only brought a fresh and more realistic take on the character but also introduced us to a more vulnerable and human side of James Bond.
@Fat fork,this was the first gambling movie that came into my mind when I was reading OP's thread. It is a superb movie by James Bond and it is still my best gambling movie till date.

The second most popular movie with a gambling (casino) theme is definitely "Ocean's Eleven." It has an amazing cast, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts, among others. It may have been a slightly less realistic depiction of the gambling part, but it is a very entertaining movie with an interesting plot.
Haven't seen Ocean Eleven, but a friend of mine recommended it one time, saw a trailer of it on YouTube, looks indeed indeed like a very interesting gambling movie to watch, i have this in my rader going forward and i will watch them all as time permits.

Ive also taken note of B13, recommended by Doan9269 - to be sure, do you mean "District 13" ? (this is what i am seeing on youtube.)
if you are going to watch Ocean's Eleven, you should watch the other two Ocean's movies(Ocean's 12 and 13) since it is a trilogy, overall, the Ocean's trilogy are good movies to watch(remembered first watching it with my dad).

also, some years ago they released a new Ocean's movie but with an all-female cast, it's called Ocean's 8, it is a decent movie and not as good as the Ocean's Trilogy.

Have you ever watched that Flintstones movie adapted from the cartoon, interpreted by real actors, which happens in a Las Vegas version from the stone age? A long time before when I was a child I thought that movie pretty entertaining.

The villain was a casino owner who wanted to steal Wilma from Fred, so he rigged the games to awake the greed of Fred who became a gambling addicted and forgot his family and friends. Therefore, causing personal conflicts betweeen him and his wife. Initially he made huge profit, but since he was greedy and couldn't stop playing, the villain rigged the games the other way round, so besides losing his friends and family, he also lost all his money...

I remember having an impression every casinos were rigged after watching that movie.

Movie 21 and God of Gambler is my favorite gambling movie so far. 21 is described already by Yogee at the top of this post. While God of Gambler is the 5 Stud Poker that full surprised since the main character is so good on tricks.

21 inspire to play blackjack and learn card counting before but my dream was crushed since casino nowadays already have a solution to counter card counting. The 5 stud poker is what I didn't pursue studying since it's commonly play with other players while I don't want competition pressure on gambling.

I've seen a bit of Casino Royale and I completely agree that it is one of the best gambling related movies, i am hoping to find time to watch this movie in full, I am still finding the best links for the free downloads of this movies, once I do, I will be sticking them on the reserved part of this thread.

I don’t think mine fits well into this thread because all the movies I have seen that involves gambling also have something to do with some supernatural powers like being able to tell events that will happen in the future and then utilizing it to cheat some casinos or one I saw back then when the protagonist has the power to teleport into different places using it to cheat casino.
Go ahead and mention them all bud, as long as it has something to do with gambling, it sure fits in the thread..
think of it this way, if you and i had super powers, would you use it on the casino to win more than you lose? if i had super powers, i will use it , and besides, don't you know that there are some gamblers who go diabolical just to know what will be the outcome of a match, lotto or something?

I haven’t actually sat to see one that deals purely on gambling or a gambling documentary and as long as something outside the ordinary is involved it shouldn’t be considered as gambling. That reminds me, what about squid game? It was quite popular when it came out although it’s not a type of gambling we see in modern days since it involves one risking his/her life to win, but gambling is gambling…

Hey buds.

I am a lover of movies, not just all movies but the most interesting ones..
If you are a lover of movies yourself, you will agree with me that most times, title does not really tell if a movie will be interesting or not, in-fact, by going with title, you sometimes buy or download and watch a movie only to end up very disappointed and feeling like you were cheated..

But then, on the other hand, there are movies with very dull, uninteresting titles , but when you happen to watch the movie, you will stay glued to it till the very end due to how interesting that movie is..

And from my personal research, casinos and gambling related movies dont come with the best of titles, i mean they dont have that Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr kind of title where you feel "oh my gosh, this movie must be smoking hot, i must watch it" na na, casino/gambling related movies dont come with such titles, and maybe that is why are not always that popular because they dont really pick people's interest, but like ive said before, title of a movie most times dont tell if that movie will be interesting or not.

The best way to truly know movies that will be interesting is by special recommendations by those that have watched that movie, this is what i want us to specifically focus on doing on this thread, discussing only and strictly casino/gambling related movies, for those of us who aside gambling, loves watching movies on our spare time, we could get an idea of what to watch next from this thread...

I hope for this thread to become one of the mega threads centered only on casino/gambling related movies and its discussions only, so to keep the thread as clean as possible, and from possible hijack from spammers ...
