Many of Hollywood's gambling movies tend to focus on the glamour and glitz of the casino, whether this means ripping them off as in "Ocean's 11" or how they function, as seen in Martin Scorsese's "Casino."

The movie is certainly a slow burn and many viewers might find this frustrating. But the story arch builds drama gradually.
