Rainbow Casino is an over-18’s venue and promotes responsible gambling. The same goes for casinos themselves gambling to win some big money values whilst the tension builds as you realise whether you’re a winner or loser could make for an exciting evening out. Rosenthal did this job in Las Vegas for the Chicago mob back in the 1970s and 1980s. Many box office hits feature casino scenes as the thrill of big money values and exciting, tension-building wins is what really makes a film interesting. The story is about the real-life character Frank ‘Lefty’ Rosenthal, who managed the Fremont, Hacienda, and Stardust Casino (later renamed the Tangiers in the film for legal reasons). Then, unfortunately, they notice they are getting some unwanted attention from the casino security and make a swift exit!Ĭasinos have been featured in movies for many decades, yet films and gambling have never been more closely linked. They sit down at a classic blackjack table as their winnings begin to grow. Although Martin Scorsese has explored different genres in his career as a filmmaker, he’s best known for his gangster movies. Trying to get some money together to buy back their friend, the scene begins with one of the characters, Alan, pulling out a ‘Guide to Blackjack’ book before it suddenly cuts to the group confidently entering the casino. Casino is one of Martin Scorsese’s most notable crime movies, and like other gangster movies made by him, it was based on real-life people.
