Best Gambling Movies on Netflix

Director Martin Scorsese's Casino (1995) is a classic in the genre of gambling movies. The film is based on the book by Nicholas Pileggi and is the true story of a man who managed multiple casinos on behalf of the mafia.

The movie takes place in Las Vegas in the 1970s and 1980s and tells the story of Sam Rosenthal, the Tangiers Casino owner, who has connections to the mob.

Acting legends Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone contribute to the film's lasting appeal. The movie follows the storyline of their characters, Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, two mafia members who become casino managers. Things start to go wrong when Ace falls in love with a beautiful hustler, and Nicky gets entangled in a cycle of drugs and violence.

The film portrays the extravagant old days of gambling in Las Vegas and mobsters running casinos before the arrival of online casino operators.

FILM DESCRIPTION: The inner-workings of a corrupt Las Vegas casino are exposed in Martin Scorsese's story of crime and punishment. The film chronicles the lives and times of three characters: "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro), a bookmaking wizard; Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), a Mafia underboss and longtime best friend to Ace; and Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone, in a role she was born to play), a leggy ex-prostitute with a fondness for jewelry and a penchant for playing the field. Ace plays by the rules (albeit Vegas rules, which, as he reminds the audience in voiceover, would make him a criminal in any other state), while Nicky and Ginger lie, cheat, and steal their respective ways to the top. The film's first hour and a half details their rise to power, while the second half follows their downfall as the FBI, corrupt government officials, and angry mob bosses pick apart their Camelot piece by piece.

A more recent favourite is Molly's Game (2017), with Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, and Kevin Costner in the lead roles. The movie follows the story of Olympic-level skier Molly Bloom, who became the hostess of the world's most exclusive poker club and the FBI’s target.

Molly's life changes direction after a severe injury ruins her chances of skiing at the Olympics. She gets a job at the Viper Room, which runs weekly high-stakes poker games. Molly eventually becomes a game-runner, making up to $4 million a year. The FBI finally shuts her down after a wild tale of drug addiction, mafia-involvement, and a significant court case.

MOLLY’S GAME is based on the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.
