Ace of Spades – Motörhead
If you're a real metalhead, you probably have "Ace of Spades" by Motörhead on your playlist. With this song, Motörhead ensured their place in music history, the song's profound significance and memorable title standing on their own.
Wild Bill Hancock, a sheriff, was killed during an illegal poker game, and the "Ace of Spades" alludes to the poker hand he held when he was dead. Lemmy kept the song in the repertoire even though he was tired of playing it after years of touring with the band.

Lyrics
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, it’s all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever
,
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

Poker Face – Lady Gaga
Over a decade ago, Lady Gaga launched her career with this smash hit that compares love to everyone's favourite card game, poker. Lyrics like "luck and intuition play the cards with spades to start" and "I want to hold em' like they do in Texas" are buried beneath the catchy beat and sexual innuendo to reveal a song about poker. Anyone familiar with the music or Lady Gaga's career will know that she ultimately gains all the power in this international smash hit.

The Card Cheat – The Clash
You may hear this unexpectedly upbeat piano tune near the end of side three of the Clash's critically acclaimed London Calling double LP. The theme of The Card Cheat makes you want to sing along, but the lyrics are depressing. Early on, a great question asks, "What good would it do him to pull a card out of his sleeve?" he asks himself. As he lays down the King of Spades and the dealer merely stares at him, he realizes something is up. Tragically, the gambler is taken by the throat, made to his knees, and shot dead. The horns on this track are catchy, and you probably won't get away with it if you're a cheater.

Lyrics
There's a solitary man crying, hold me
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!
If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve?
It means nothing!
To the opium den and the barroom gin
In the Belmont chair playing violins
The gambler's face cracks into a grin
As he lays down the king of spades
But the dealer just stares
There's something wrong here, he thinks
The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
And shot dead
He only wanted more time
Away from the darkest door
But his luck it gave in
As the dawn light crept in
And he lay on the floor
From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea
With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
In the service of the King
Before you met your fate be sure you
Did not forsake your lover
May not be around anymore
There's a solitary man crying, hold me
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!
The Gambler – Kenny Rogers
The Gambler, written by Don Schiltz, has been covered by a wide variety of musicians, including Johnny Cash and Bobby Bare. However, Kenny Rogers' rendition remains the most well-known. For Rogers, it was his seventh No. 1 country hit on the Billboard charts. When country songs seldom crossed over to other genres, the success also made it to the pop charts.
The plot centres around a chance encounter aboard a train to nowhere. The narrator has a conversation with a guy identified only as "the gambler," who informs the narrator that he has run out of luck. So the gambler makes him a tempting offer: in exchange for the remainder of the narrator's whiskey, he would provide invaluable guidance.
The song's repetitive lyrics may be what drives a wedge amongst Iron Maiden fans.
However, the song's riff and overall premise are incredibly catchy and uplifting, drawing comparisons to The Who. A word of caution, though: this album was released in 1998 while Blaze Bayley was leading the band.

Gambling Man – The Overtones
This year marks the debut of The Overtones' first single, "Gambling Man," featuring the British boy band members. This classic pop tune is tight, with catchy melodies and straightforward lyrics that expertly blend gambling and love.

Solitaire – The Carpenters
A man "who lost his love through his apathy" is the protagonist of the popular song Solitaire. The loneliest card game is not only referenced many times in this folk classic from the 1970s, but it also serves as a metaphor for dealing with broken hearts. Lines like "kept to himself he plays the game, without her love it always ends the same" and "as life goes on around him, he's playing solitaire" are powerful even if you don't pay close attention to the song. This hit was written by Phil Cody and Neil Sedaka and recorded by several artists, including the Carpenters and Andy Williams.

Lyrics:
Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I'm just the devil with love to spare
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin'
And your one armbandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again
I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with ev'ry shot
Viva Las Vegas, viva Las Vegas,
Viva, viva Las Vegas

Rambling, Gambling Willie – Bob Dylan
Willie was a big gambler who went from town to town in America, fathering children and raking in cash from the casinos. But, as the last line explains, unfortunately, he lost all his money because he gambled too much. This brilliant jam is one of Dylan's finest works, and it sends a solid message to gamblers: cash out while you're ahead.

Lyrics:
Come around you roving’ gamblers and a story I will tell
About the greatest gambler, you all should know him well
His name was Will O’Conley and he gambled all his life
He had twenty-seven children, yet he never had a wife
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows
The Galway Races – The Dubliners
In this track, horse racing is more prominent than gambling. Nonetheless, given the similarities, we didn't think including them would be a bad idea. Anyone who has ever bet on a slot machine at a casino will understand the appeal of betting on horses. Likewise, you've undoubtedly heard its fantastic lyrics at an Irish pub.
The Dubliners ~ The Galway Races
Love Is a Losing Game – Amy Winehouse
It's a modern R&B song about a heartbroken woman. That guy who turned her down made a bet and won. Because of this, she felt like a complete idiot as she continued to play a losing hand in her relationship. While still in her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil, Winehouse wrote a song about it in 2006. He was a recovering heroin addict, and many believe he introduced Amy to the narcotics that ultimately took her life.
At first appearance, the protagonist of "Desperado" seems to be a heartless criminal who does all in his power to stay away from love. However, the song is about a young artist who takes up guitar, joins a rock band, does his time, and starts suffering for his work.
The idea of the starving artist frequently appears in Eagles' music, and one interpretation of "Desperado" is that it takes hardship to produce great art.
