A casino is a place where champagne glasses clink and people mingle, trying their luck at the tables or slot machines. It is also a place where, if you\u2019re lucky enough, you can win big. But, there\u2019s one thing you should know before you start gambling: the house always wins.<\/p>\n
Gambling has been part of human culture for millennia, starting in 2300 BC with wooden blocks and dice and then moving on to playing cards around 800 AD. But, it\u2019s only in the last century that casinos became a significant business with their own set of rules and regulations that help ensure their profitability.<\/p>\n
The modern casino is a complex, multi-layered entity that\u2019s designed to make it look inviting and fun \u2013 to keep you gambling. The design includes everything from delighting colors to interesting shapes and other visual elements that create a sense of luxury, excitement and intrigue. Casinos are often heavily staffed with security personnel to deter criminal behavior and prevent cheating. They also employ a high-tech \u2018eye-in-the-sky\u2019 surveillance system where cameras can be shifted to focus on certain patrons or areas at a time.<\/p>\n
While most movies that portray Las Vegas only scratch the surface and show opulence and neon signs, Casino digs deep into Sin City\u2019s roots and its dark past. At nearly three hours long, it\u2019s one of Scorsese\u2019s longest movies but it never lags or loses steam. It\u2019s taut, masterful and a perfect thriller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
