Casino Review

Many people love to gamble. They can take a chance on bingo, test their luck at a poker tournament, or even get their groove on with karaoke night. They can also find a casino with an excellent reputation for paying out players quickly and consistently. However, the key to winning is knowing when to walk away from the tables. It isn’t always in your best interest to keep gambling, as the odds are stacked against you.

Casinos are designed to make people feel like they can’t leave. They often have dark color schemes and low ceilings, and they purposefully obscure exits. They also use bright and sometimes gaudy floor and wall coverings, which are meant to stimulate and cheer people up. They also have no clocks, as they want people to lose track of time and keep playing. In addition, casinos give their best bettors “comps,” which can include free shows, hotel rooms, limo service and airline tickets.

While the music, acting, and lighting in Casino are all top-notch, the film’s most impressive quality is its ability to capture the essence of mob life. Its evocation of the “scumbaggery” of the mob, and the way in which it contrasts Ace with Nicky, is a powerful one. Robert de Niro and Pesci both deliver outstanding performances. It’s a far superior movie to Goodfellas, and is probably the most accurate portrayal of mob life on film yet. It’s definitely worth a look.
