Top Casino and Gambling Themed Songs

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.

It was first released in 1985 by the British band Dead or Alive, and since then, it's become a hit. Due to the song's international success, it was eventually included in casino games. The tracks put a unique spin on classic casino games like poker and roulette.

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.

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.

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.

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. We can all agree that being in love is a little like a game of chance; therefore, even if this song isn't technically about gambling, we can all relate to it.

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.

There is no better musical representation of Las Vegas' glitter and splendour. The song has been used as casino background music for decades and was initially written for the 1964 namesake musical.

Thanks to the singer's incredible voice, you'll feel completely immersed in your favourite game.

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.

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.

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.
