What would games night be without a little\u00a0music\u00a0playing in the background? If you are tired of the same currently trendy pop songs, it\u00a0just might be\u00a0time to get\u00a0innovative.\u00a0Maybe it is\u00a0time to unearth those classic casino songs\u00a0that have been buried for far too long now.\u00a0Since some of them may\u00a0have been recorded before your time, let\u2019s look at these\u00a0seven\u00a0awesome songs that inspired many gamers over the years.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1. The Gambler\u00a0\u2013 Kenny Rogers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who has ever step foot in a casino has probably immediately thought of this Kenny Rogers classic. Recorded in 1987, The Gambler<\/em> will probably be on the top 100 country songs of all time. Not only does it impart the wisdom of age to youth, but it also forms a metaphor for life in that you can\u2019t live without gambling on what lies ahead. This is often a song played in land-based casinos but if you prefer to frequent Online Casinos, then you\u2019ll have to do your own music mix. In fact, if you\u2019re looking for an online site for games night that deals a cool hand of poker, check out the comparisons and mini reviews on the OnlineCasinos<\/a> website. Here is where you\u2019ll find those that offer Texas Hold\u2019em, inspired by the song. With Kenny in the background and an online casino you\u2019ve found, remember, it\u2019s all about knowing when to hold \u2018em and when to fold \u2018em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong>Queen of Hearts \u2013 Juice Newton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the entire song so skilfully sung by Juice Newton is actually a metaphor for the game of love, even though it\u2019s not really a casino song, it does call your favourite casinos to mind. Perhaps the intent is to focus on another metaphor. In some card games the Queen of Hearts<\/em> is the most powerful card in the deck and this is why messing with her could be more trouble than it\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong>Big Casino \u2013 Jimmy Eat World<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the music video having been shot in Las Vegas, here is another song to get the heart pumping on games night. Big Casino<\/em> really is about casinos and if just the mere mention of a casino doesn\u2019t put you in the wagering mood, what will? As for the genre of the song and the type of music Jimmy Eat World<\/a> falls within, it\u2019s sometimes referred to as post-grunge, alternative or emo. In any case, it will be hard to resist tapping that food to such a powerful beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. <\/strong>Luck Be a Lady \u2013 Frank Sinatra<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Las Vegas, what celeb can hold a candle to Mr. Sin City himself<\/a>, Frank Sinatra? No matter what game you are playing and whether or not you will be wagering anything of value, you always want lady luck on your side. That\u2019s what this Sinatra classic is all about. Need a little help calling that lucky lady to your side? Let Sinatra do it for you with Luck Be a Lady<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. <\/strong>Poker Face \u2013 Lady Gaga<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you think that expression ever came from? In live poker games you need to\u00a0keep all emotion from your face if you want to bluff your way through the hand you\u2019ve been dealt.\u00a0Not only is Lady Gaga\u00a0quite popular today,\u00a0but her songs will also certainly get the adrenaline up, the foot tapping and leave you ready to\u00a0bluff your way to the winner\u2019s circle on any game you choose.\u00a0Isn\u2019t it time to be a\u00a0Poker Face<\/em>\u00a0like the song tells you to be?\u00a0When playing a hand or two at a local casino, bring along the\u00a0stoic expression you\u2019ve worked so hard to perfect. Of course, if you are playing online,\u00a0no one will see your face, but\u00a0Lady Gaga will inspire you to expertly play the hand you\u2019ve been dealt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Casino Boogie \u2013 Rolling Stones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the all-time classic rock band that ever came close to rivalling the Beatles. The Rolling Stones. Even if you haven\u2019t seen the video released of Casino Boogie<\/em> <\/em><\/strong>and Mick Jagger boogying across the stage, you will find your own hips swaying and your heart pumping on the ready to do a bit of wagering yourself! Bear in mind that it\u2019s games night and those songs blasting in the background are an important element in going for a winning mindset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. <\/strong>That Was a Crazy Game of Poker \u2013 O.A.R.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else can we say about\u00a0That Was a Crazy Game of Poker<\/em> when it comes to setting the mood for\u00a0a couple hands of Texas Hold’em or\u00a07-Card Stud? If you are looking for a casino that offers\u00a0these games, why not choose to play online?\u00a0This way you can choose all the songs that put you in the mood for landing in the winner\u2019s circle and you don\u2019t need to listen to meaningless banter in the background.\u00a0Formed in 1997, O.A.R. is an alternative rock band still playing today.\u00a0With more than\u00a0two-and-a-half decades in the music business, they sure know how to set the stage for a crazy game of poker. Add this to your games night playlist and you\u00a0will most definitely\u00a0be ready\u00a0hit the jackpot in a very big way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing like games night with a group of friends, even if it\u2019s taking place at home and not in a club or casino. With many of the games you play being developed for game systems, you can each get settled in a gaming chair, with gaming headsets and music playing throughout the night. With a little bit of rhythm in the background and modern warfare on the monitor to get you pumping, it will be the music you most remember that led you to a much-needed win. Whether gaming or gambling, music can put you in the mood faster than any known catalyst and this is why that games night playlist can be even more important that the beer. Well, maybe not, but it is important nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
