Hollywood has always had a massive fascination with the glitz, glamour, and inherent danger of the casino floor.

These movies have heavily shaped the public's perception of Las Vegas and the professional gambling lifestyle.

Casino (1995): The Gritty Reality of Vegas

Starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, 'Casino' offers a brutal, unflinching look at how the mafia ran the Vegas Strip.

It is essentially a three-hour masterclass on how organized crime skimmed millions of dollars directly from the counting rooms.

• Pesci's terrifying portrayal of mob enforcer Nicky Santoro remains one of the greatest cinematic villains of all time
• The famous 'head in a vise' scene demonstrated the brutal methods the mob used to deal with casino cheaters
• It is a historical document showcasing the exact moment the mafia lost their grip on the Nevada gaming industry

Ocean's Eleven and Rounders

If you prefer slick, stylish entertainment over gritty realism, the 2001 remake of 'Ocean's Eleven' is absolute perfection.

For fans of intense card games, the 1998 film 'Rounders' is credited with helping launch the global Texas Hold'em boom.

These films capture the undeniable magic and profound danger of placing a massive bet on a turn of a card.
