Everyone loves a casino movie. Depending on the genre they can be fun, exciting or thrilling - sometimes all at the same time! They remind us that sometimes no matter how great the odds, there's always a chance to take on the house and win big.

Plus, with many casinos closed, they're one of the few ways we can get the thrill of being inside a casino - outside of playing cards at home with friends or visiting Betfair casino for a little game. Whilst we all love a throw of the dice, a casino movie brings you right in - the sights, the sounds, almost the whole experience. Plus, what better way is there to enjoy your favourite casino movie than with a (responsible) drinking game?

If you're familiar with our site, you'll know we already have plenty of great films you can play a drinking game with - like Casino. Despite being one the most iconic gambling movies (maybe it's in the name?), it can be a bit much when you're hoping for a fun night. So, with that in mind, here are our top Casino movies for a drinking game:

Oceans 11 (2001)

It's hard to argue with this classic. It's got everything you want - Vegas's best casinos, a heist full of twists and turns and more Pitt, Damon and Clooney charm than you can poke a stick at. So stick on a nice jacket and your coolest sunnies and see if you can take the house! The rules are simple:

Drink once if:

  • It's just Brad Pitt and George Clooney on screen
  • Someone says 'casino'
  • Basher's (Don Cheadle) accent doesn't sound british

Drink twice if:

  • Someone smokes a cigar
  • Brad Pitt is eating
  • The twins argue

Drink 3x if:

  • Amazing Yang Performs a trick
  • Amazing Yang and another character have a conversation or someone responds to what he says
  • Someone says 'million'

The Hangover (2009)

Whilst we never recommend putting yourself in the same situation as the guys in this film, it is a lot of fun to watch. It might not be a classic casino movie, but it's in vegas and they spend a huge amount of time in a casino - so it checks out!

Three buddies have to follow clues through Las Vegas to try and find their missing friend after a bachelor party gone wrong. Will they find him and get him back to his wedding on time? You can find the full rules here.

Casino Royale (2006)

Looking for something that packs more of a punch? A bout with 007 won't disappoint. Daniel Craig's first outing is full of thrills, suspense, and is set in the famous Casino Royale - perfect to be enjoyed with a drink.

Armed with a 007 license to kill, special agent James Bond must defeat a dangerous arms dealer in a high stakes poker game to stop a dangerous sequence of events. However, not everything is as it seems. If you don't have a tux, a bow tie will do. Find your mission here, should you choose to accept it (we know this isn't the right movie but it fits).

Rounders (1998)

We've covered comedy and we've covered action, now it's time for something a tad more serious. Although the stakes are high in this film, it doesn't mean you can't have some fun along the way!

To help a friend who is in deep with dangerous loan sharks, a young reformed gambler must win a high stakes poker game. Are the odds stacked against them or is it time to win big? Go along for the ride to find out! Everything you need to know is here.

We hope you enjoy these movies, but remember - always drink responsibly! These games are designed to have some fun, not to spend a night feeling sick due to the overconsumption of alcohol. If you enjoyed it, please leave feedback in the comments & let us know how we can make it better!
