The Best Casino-Themed Board Games

There are many casino games based on board game classics like Monopoly, Cluedo and Snakes & Ladders. But what about the other way around? What Casino-themed board games are there? Let’s take a look shall we.

Beat the Bookie

Beat the Bookie, an exciting board game published by Chad Valley/Barclay Toys from London, has been played all over the world since 1965. This game is centered around a four-foot-long mechanical horse racing track, the game’s betting board and 5 metal horses that will hopefully lead you to a win.

Play begins when the game board is turned on to move the horses down the track so that those who chose the right horse can claim their winnings. This game of chance is a great way to spend a few hours with friends and family, and it’s a little different from the average board game, which is a nice change of pace.

Lords of Vegas

This game is a little more complicated than the previous one. Players play as powerful developers in a booming, growing Nevada city. The aim is to earn prestige and money by creating the biggest, best and most profitable casino in this city’s version of The Strip. The game begins with players who have nothing but empty parking lots and big dreams that will hopefully become something more glamorous and exciting.

Score points by choosing the right casinos to invest in and watch the profits increase! There are casino bosses, casino owners, winners and losers in this dramatic game where making one wrong investment can cost you everything. Will you become a Lord of Vegas or end up in the gutter with broken dreams and an empty bank account? That’s for you to decide.

Wits and Wagers

There’s a fair amount of trivia knowledge needed in Wits and Wagers, but if that’s not your rogan suit, that’s ok too! This game gives those with trivia knowledge and those who excel in other areas an even playing field. A question will be asked, and each player will get the opportunity to write their best guess on a piece of paper. All the papers are lined up face up on the playing surface and players are asked to bet on the answer they think is most likely correct.

This is where your wits come into play: you need to decide if you’re the expert or if someone else in the group might know better than you. The answer closest to the real answer pays out according to the odds on the betting mat. If you don’t know the answer, that’s ok, but if you know who does know the answer, you just might strike it lucky!

Atentado no Cassino

Looking for a little glamour and maybe even a little danger in your board games? You’ll find it in Atentado no Cassino! You play as secret agents who are stalking around a casino trying to keep their charge, a very important politician, safe from harm.

One of the agents turns out to be a traitor and is, unbeknownst to the rest of you, trying to kill the politician rather than keep him safe. Players can enjoy casino games like blackjack or roulette, which may win them money to buy secret agent supplies like poisoned darts and paralyzing gas that can attack agents who may be traitors. You can also buy antidotes and protective gear to keep yourselves and your charge safe.
