$CYBERCASH METAVERSE
Beyond the edge is new movie, it's Russian movie but with English language, scenes of gambling are from real Russian casino. Antonio Banderas with one Serbian actor Milos Bikovic in main roles.
Nice movie from Russian movie makers, with elements of magic and how they win money in casino.
I watched this movie couple weeks ago in bad quality, nice movie and I'm someone to upload HD and I will watch it again, it's recommendation from me, enjoy the movie.

I have seen this movie and can vouch that it's a great one for gamblers to watch! Very entertaining. I  also have seen 21 and that one wasn't too bad either. However, one of my favorite gambling scenes is actually from the first Hangover movie. I thought it was super awesome when Zach Galifianakis went to the casino and was doing the card counting.
I personally do not have enough knowledge about it, because I am not a movie lover, but I have heard about a movie that is in our native language “JANNAT” which I think that is based on gambling and is specially on sports gambling. There may be some more but I personally have no idea about it.

So in reality its very difficult to do.

It is a movie so I don't think that people should be trying that in the real gambling. Also, these students are said to be "geniuses" so I think that says it all.

I don't even know how can they memorize the card being given by the dealer. They are not just having fun in gambling but also applying things that can't be done easily especially as far as I know that is illegal.

What are some of the best movies based on gambling? My favorite is Rounders. What about you ?

There are a lot of movies revolving around gambling, one of my favorites are 21. I think that is the first movie that I've watched that is really all about gambling. The other movies I love is not about Gambling but there are some moments there about gambling that I love.

Focus and The Hang over has some gambling moments that I will never forget. I don't really like Gambling genres since we all know how will they end up, trouble on the casino or either with their families and friends.

Yes 21 is an excellent movie, actually me and my friends planned to visit the real casino that time we refer some movies in our list my best movie is 21 superb screenplay and ideas are incredible but in real time those ideas will not work but one strategy helped us. in 3 card game how the group of friends can cheat casino we tried but we failed.
Petty on all of them who are just supporting this cause. People you need to understand that this betting is luck. You can’t just make anything better for your life assure, until you aren’t good in skills and experience. Better for you to make your life happy and prosperous just by doing some respectable job. You have to keep on finding good jobs and please refrain yourself from this.
Gambling is all about luck and all the people who play gambling here must know about it. May be in some condition we have the chances to use our luck but even there we cannot ignore the importance of luck.

There is a list on IMDB here of the top 100 gambling themed movies with The Hangover (2009) as the most popular.
I don't enjoy watching people gamble as much as when I am the one gambling so I'm not into movie and I'm not aware if there are newly released movies this year or last year.
Surely you can find recommendations of good movies in google tho.

Never thought that this movie will be left out but in fact a lot of people posted about it. I don't really watch gambling movies until my father suggested this certain movie since I really like movies where the MC is so smart or intelligent. And this is a movie, I don't think it will also apply on the real game, well, no one can beat the "system" on the real casino.
Well I think we must refrain ourselves from gambling in any way. Watching such movies will trigger your sense of greed and we start watering for money through gambling. Like if a person have little bit feelings to go to gym and get muscular, but he isn’t doing this for any reason. And suddenly he watch any motivational movie, so definitely he would be triggered enough to start that thing.

My favourite gambling movie is 21, released in 2008. When I was a student I had a phase where I tried to count cards in a few casinos. It didn't work well actually but the movie inspired me to try it out. Over the years, I have seen it again and again.
Also I like the Wolf of Wallstreet starring Lenoardo Di Caprio. Probably not a real gambling movie but it covers "gambling" methods and excesses in the financial industry.

If you attempted to count cards in a casino then you must be some genius and have a great photographic memory.

Even if you remember everything and account for no errors, the way the casino cuts the deck will make it very difficult. Also it only edges in your favor about 0.5-1.0% last time, I read about it.

So basically you need to play thousands of hands, with no human errors, without getting noticed by security to win.

So in reality its very difficult to do.

I stand with Ukraine.
Run Lola Run.

Lola and her boyfriend are in trouble with local mobsters - Lola has to come up with some money to pay off the hoods by the end of the day, but she realises she doesn't have enough money and so runs to the casino down the road to place a bet with the last of her money.

As Lola runs we are treated to alternates of what happens when Lola encounters people along the way - think Sliding Doors, but much more out there.

When Lola finally gets to the Casino she bluffs her way in as she's not dressed appropriately and then talks the cashier into giving her a chip for the Roulette Wheel when she is a few (cents) short.

The Chip obtained, the bet is placed. The Roulette Wheel is spun... Lola screams... and ... (that would be telling)...


No doubts that Run Lola Run is a great movie worth watching, not once, but over and over again. I watched it several times when I was younger and was more inclined to believe in fairy tales. And today, although my views have been changed, I would watch it again with pleasure because, related to real life or not, it's a great story and fantastic movie. However, it would be wrong to say that this movie is based on gambling, even partially. The only gambling scene in Run Lola Run lasts around 5 minutes and shows not gambling as it is, but rather a craziest dream of a gambling addict. You can watch it from the link below.

No gambler should count on the possibility of this happening in real life. Yet, I adore this movie and recommend to watch it to any cinephile.

What about you ?
Does Ocean's 11 belong here? Yeah! I know that its story revolves in robbing a casino but I think this should be considered too Grin. Aside from that, I also love God of Gamblers.

My favorite contraire movies are Cincinnati Kid with Steve McQueen and  Edward G. Robinson and the movie "21".
The first one shows the portrait of an addicted (poker) gambler, who is close to defeat the best poker profi and risking anything on the last move.  The second one Tell entertaining a true story in which a university professor with his student "won" millions of dollars at the casinos.

There is also rounders which is a great movie based on poker games. Edward Norton is playing and he is great in it as a person who got out of jail because of some shady poker things he did before, however the main character is Matt Damon and he has a great arc and he plays poker not for just making money but to get the respect he desires and I think by the end of it he realizes he doesn't need the respect but he needs that self respect to himself not by others.

At the end there is no plot twist, you get what you expect Matt Damons character wins in a big poker game and leaves the movie on a high note.

I think Casino is a great movie.  It doesn't focus too much on the gambling itself but how Vegas used to be run by mobsters and they would participate in shady activities.  Robert DeNiro really makes this film stand out with his acting.

Other honorable mentions would be the Ocean's trilogy and Rounders.  My favorite Ocean's movie is 13, you can't go wrong with Al Pacino and the mission they pull off is much larger than the first two movies.

My favorite movie about gambling is 'High Roller'. This is a real story about Stu Ungar - an outstanding American poker player. He is the only poker player who won the main tournament of the World Series of Poker three times as a result of the tournament game. The film demonstrates failure, falling and climbing, love and hate, temptation and more what every poker player is facing, and just each of us.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Molly's Game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly%27s_Game).

Released in 2018 and starring Jessica Chastain, I would highly recommend this flick for any gambling movie enthusiasts.

It's based on a true story and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout.

I really enjoyed that movie. The true story of a woman behind one of the exclusive high-stakes underground poker game in the World. I recommend everyone to watch this movie. Another one of my favorite is 21.

Nice topic that you got here mate.  Grin When I saw your question for the first time, two things that popped out of my mind are Ocean's Eleven and 21. Yes, they are not the best out there but they are decent movies that has gambling theme in it. If you didn't watch any of these two, I would recommend you to spare some time and see them.
