Or have you played in this kind of underground gambling den before?
I heard that in the country where I live now there are a lot of underground casinos. This is due to the fact that the casino pays huge amounts of money to the state for excess profits, and any casino would like to avoid these taxes. Many gamblers easily find these casinos through telegram groups, and that is why there are visitors there.
I myself know about these hidden casinos from the news, sometimes on TV and on the Internet they say that another casino was found, and it was hiding under the guise of a bar.
And I think that added the enigma of underground gambling as something secretive and if you have been a part of it or even played on this kind of places, it's going to be a very difference experience for gamblers and I think this is one thrills for us as well.
I remember a scene in 21 wherein the actor was tested under pressure and so he was advise to go to a underground place and played and then they put a sack on his head and test him if he can still remember his card count. Perhaps that's what the atmosphere on some of those underground casinos.
I don't think they are that cinematic, there will certainly be riffraff, but with the word clandestine or illegal they make it seem like something they are not, in my opinion they are just places where people gather to play, in places where the law doesn't allow it and they make it seem like something dangerous, when inside there will only be people playing
