21 is a good movie involving gambling. While not exactly accurate it is inspired by the MIT team that went around playing blackjack in various casinos and winning quite often enough to alert operators. I heard they check shoes mostly to see if you have some device on that you use to send back info to an accomplice that calculate the odds.

Big fan of scorsese right here! And i believe this is an adaptation of a book from an author i forgot lol. Not his best film definitely but a good one with a solid cast. Robert deniro and sharon stone as leads? And the ever reliable enforcer joe pesci lol.

Martin is the man!!!  The book you are talking about is Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas.

hahaha I loved Joe Pesci in Goodfellas

"21" is my favorite gambling movie I can think of at the moment. They are a team of card counters led by an MIT student who wants study medicine. He is recruited by his math professor and goes to "play" in Vegas with the team until they are busted.
"21" is a very great movie. It is inspired by a true story of a student from MIT who was a genius.
In addition, I love Casino Royale as well. These gambling movies make you fall in love with gambling or at least explore your talent in any field you are capable of.

Moreover, it shows you how fake the is the face of the house. You are always under the eye of the house and in case you are winning, you are dragged into things that will disturb you to the roots.
This one is my first pick since i like the actor who played the role of a young gambler trying to cheat by counting the cards while playing. It just requires some almost impossible memory that act like a photograph in the brain. Though the house always knows what are these strategy and if someone who has it, they immediately stop them by banning in their casino.

Rounders,its a poker scene in this evergreen 90s film is a must watch. It will take you to NYC, Atlantic City and Las Vegas. If you are a poker enthusiast, you will enjoy every bit of this movie. A law school student appears as a splendid poker player here who tries to help his friend who has exited the prison to get off some real trouble. In the process, the candid player renews his love for poker.it is one of my favourite gambling movie.Casino Royale,Ocean’s Eleven movie are also based on gambling.

The best gambling movie for me, and compose of good characters. I'm currently looking for this movie so I can watch it again because I know it can also relieve the stress in me. I hope to have a more updated gambling movies that will tackle about the addiction and how they can survive on that, it will probably become a box office.

I don't remember the name of that movie,but it was completely based on the gambling.The actor has the super power to predict the future so he knows that what is going to happen so he can be a millionaire soon.Butt he don't do these kind of activities but the people blackmail him to make money for them in gambling by using his super power the climax will be how he get away from those people.Anyone remember the name of that movie?

Was it Next? The star is Nicholas Cage.
I hope I got it right cause I loved that movie and watched i5 for a lot of times.

Oceans 12 and 1e also have some gambling scenes although it is more of thievery.
How about 21? Also a good film about blackjack which is studied on how to trick the game.

There are a lot of movies with gambling themes, my favourite is the Revolver movie where the main character enters in a very dangerous gambling game where he risk to even be left dead. There are some pretty good actors in it, with Jason Statham being the main character. I suggest you to see it in case you haven't already. For other good gambling movies just check the IMDB website database.



I agree that is true a lot of movies related in the gambling one of the best example is the of james bond the tittle is casino royale and do not be offend I would like to know if I'm not wrong their have some old thread same  topic.

Justine Timberlake's Movie about their life connected to a time. They won't die in old age unless someone kill them or the time on their wrist reach zero. When he got into the elite clubs, he gamble his remaining time of his life knowing it could lead to his instant death. I like that part and somehow relate it to our current situation where we always gamble with time.

The best gambling movie to me is 21 (2008) because the gambling game that was introduced in there is blackjack.
21 is my only gambling movie that I want to watch all over again. Its really amazing to see gamblers playing well, anyway its a just a movie of course. Aside from this, I don’t know any movies about gambling but we also have some local movies but I think its just a waste of time and money.

My favorite gambling movie is now you see me 1 and 2 because they show a great scheme to win and steal a lot of money inside a casino. In the movie that you have mention what is it all about ?

Well. The movie 21 is all about a college students that are great in math and one of those student is Ben Campbell who accepted in Harvard University, but he cannot afford the $300,000 tuition, so one of his teachers taught them about the gambling game of blackjack and play inside a casino for them to win a million dollars of money. At the climax of the movie, they all caught by the security because they all had been suspected by all of their actions.
