Top 10 Gambling Memes

Sometimes, the right meme at the right time is the best way to express oneself. So, when your last bet doesn’t go your way, or you just want to take a break from spinning, look at our selection of funny gambling memes. 

If you’ve seen the Game of Thrones series, then you are no doubt familiar with King Joffrey Baratheon. He was the second Baratheon to sit on the iron throne. However, contrary to what most people thought, he was actually a Lannister. Joffrey was born from the incestuous relationship between Queen Cersei Lannister and her twin brother, Jaime Lannister.

Weird, right? Maybe that’s why their son wasn’t the people’s beloved king. He was always angry and often taken for granted.

Enough about him. This meme describes a feeling every gambler and probably Joffrey is familiar with: losing consistently at slots. Then you decide to change the machine, and boom, you hit a big win. Now, you don’t want to try another game, and it becomes a slot worthy of a king.

Our next meme is from the famous American sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother,' specifically from the character Barney Stinson. If you love comedy, you should definitely watch the series.

In this comedy series, Barney Simpson is a serial womanizer who has written a playbook on how to court women but has few ideas on handling adulthood responsibilities.

At one point, Ted Mosby, a close friend of Barney, suggests that he needs to address his gambling problems. However, Barney, being the corny individual as always, responds by saying it’s hardly a gambling problem if you are ‘awesome’ at it. If you’re a fan of the series, you know that’s just typical Barney.

Poker players sometimes take serious threats for granted, even viewing their spouse's threat to leave as a joke.

No matter how much you love playing poker, you shouldn’t let it become an addiction. A better solution is to learn bankroll management, conduct research, and improve your playing skills. That aside, this meme is just hilarious, emphasizing a regular poker player’s bluffing reflexes.

Just because your grandma is old doesn’t mean she doesn't know how to have fun. When push comes to shove, she can even teach you how to gamble. She’s at a disadvantage, though, because every time she wants to play, she has to journey down to a land-based casino.

And then, one day, she walks into your room while you’re in the bathroom and sees her favourite bingo game open on your PC. Grandma has been surprised by the internet countless times before, but this is a life-changing discovery. You now have one choice, get her a device or your PC will never remain the same.

We source this next meme from the Margaritaville episode of this series. It’s kind of subtle dark humor and one that every gambler can relate to. One minute you’re having fun with money in your account, and the next moment everything is gone.

The image is from a scene when Randy comes complaining to the bank manager who now transfers his money to Stan’s portfolio, and the manager says, “Aaaand it’s gone!”. Fun fact about this meme: it’s not just gambling-related; it can apply to numerous scenarios.

This funny robot dude in Futurama known as Bender represents people who get pissed off when things don’t go their way. Bender enjoys playing blackjack, but gets thrown out of his favourite casino on the moon, Luna Park.

You can already guess what he says next: 'Fine, I am going to go build my own theme park with blackjack and hookers. This gambling meme is perhaps one of the best around that Futurama fans are familiar with.

A meme originated from a close-up photo of a Moray eel. The animal is goofy-looking and seemingly awkward, and internet jokesters turned it into a meme with an eel telling bad jokes. Gambling earned one of these eel jokes, too.

The eel asks: “Why is there no gambling in Africa?” and replies to himself that there are too many cheetahs. This is the type of meme where the joke is funny because it’s rather cringeworthy.

Another top meme features a cat in a suit sitting by a table, reading the newspaper, and having a mug of coffee right next to him. This serious-looking feline meme says, “When it’s 6 AM, and you start looking for your daily matches to bet on.”

It takes a jab at dedicated gamblers who treat sports betting as a job and invites bettors to chuckle at themselves.

This meme became popular because of James Bond’s nonchalant attitude right after the film’s villain, Le Chiffre, tried to poison him. Bond was participating in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro, and Le Chiffre had arranged to poison him. Bond nearly didn’t survive but managed to pull through with the help of another character, Vesper Lynd.

After the poison attempt, disoriented and unwell, Bond sits at the table. Then the dealer asked if he felt okay, and Bond replied with an iconic line: “Oh, I am sorry. That last hand nearly killed me.” It has since become a popular gambling meme in the internet culture.

Doug Billings is set to marry his fiancée but decides to take a quick trip to Las Vegas with his friends Phil, Stu, and his fiancée’s brother Alan. Alan, the most hilarious character in the movie, brings the heat on when he spikes his friends’ drinks where none of them can remember what happened the previous night.

They’re in sin city, so they sure have to gamble, and that’s around the time Alan mumbles his famous sentence that so matches with a funny personality, “It’s not gambling when you know you’re gonna win”.

We hope that our top 10 list of gambling-related memes made you laugh.
