Beneath the glitzy veneer of flashing lights, slot machines, and free drinks, casinos are engineered to slowly drain patrons of their hard-earned cash.

Casino is an epic crime drama, a movie that turns the Mob life up to 11. Director Martin Scorsese lays bare a complicated web of corruption in Vegas, with tendrils reaching out to politicians, the Teamsters unions, and the Chicago mafia. The film stars Robert De Niro as Sam “Ace” Rothstein, a gambling kingpin who funnels money to his mob elders back East. His best friend from back home, Joe Pesci, portrays a more violent hood named Nicky Santoro.<\/p>\n
