A casino is a gambling establishment where people can take part in games of chance or skill for money. Some casinos are very large and house multiple forms of gaming as well as restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues. Others are much smaller and simply focus on gambling activities. In either case, casinos are meant to provide an enjoyable experience for guests and make a profit by encouraging them to spend more time and money on their games than they otherwise would.

Gambling is a risky business and there are always people who try to cheat or steal, in collusion with the staff or independently. This is why casinos devote a significant amount of time and money to security measures. The most common measure is video cameras located throughout the casino. In addition, the routines and patterns of casino games are constantly monitored by computer systems that can alert the staff to any unexpected changes.

Casino is a 1995 American epic crime film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, Don Rickles and Kevin Pollak. It is based on the 1995 nonfiction book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas by Nicholas Pileggi, with the screenplay written by Pileggi and Scorsese. It was the eighth collaboration between Scorsese and De Niro.

A casino is a place where gamblers can take part in various gambling activities such as blackjack, roulette and poker. In addition, there are many other activities that can be enjoyed at a casino such as live music, stage shows and fine dining.
