Great movie, but not centered around gambling. It was only a short side bar to the overall movie.
That's a good point.

Uncut Gems is much more realistic and shows the dark side of gambling, the damage it inflicts on an individual and the people around them.

Rounders does a good job of this as well.

The rest are sensationalized portrayals.

Casino is an over the top POS mob movie trying to capitalize on the goodwill the leads built in the far superior Goodfellas.

Rounders was really good. A few great actors with Matt Damon, John Malkovich and Edward Norton.

I didnt really care for Casino but nowhere near the dislike that Ravi has for it. :lol

I'm guessing its probably the genre more than anything.
