General The Worst depiction of gambling in the movies?

[Sevens]

What is the least accurate or worst depiction of gambling in the movies? Are there any depictions of games that make you want to swear, or point out that they should have been thrown out of the game for playing like that?

I can't think of anything exactly off the top of my head. However, it has bothered me occasionally when a movie or show makes it seem like gambling is easy or when it only depicts people with addictions as the only people who attend casinos and gamble.

I know what you mean, Kyndal. I've seen a lot of movies where they have people thinking that if you need some cash fast then it's time to hit the casino.

There are a lot of gambling movies that completely missed the mark when it comes to protraying a real picture of gambling and its effects and I think the worst one was Lucky You. That one takes the cup as the stupidest gambling movie ever made.

I've heard a few people being really rude about the poker scene in Casino Royale, but I'd also heard about something called All-in and was warned not to watch it. My guilty pleasure is Maverick. The poker play is average, at best, but the film is so much fun.
