A casino is an establishment for certain types of gambling. Most casinos have table games such as blackjack and roulette, and offer slot machines and video poker. They may also have card rooms and entertainment shows. Most casinos have security measures to prevent cheating and stealing by patrons, either in collusion or independently. Security cameras are a common feature. Some casinos have a rule that players must keep their hands visible at all times while playing card games.
A casino offers its customers the opportunity to gamble for money or goods, and often provides drinks, food, entertainment, and comfortable living quarters in addition to gambling. The term casino can also refer to a particular game of chance or a particular atmosphere associated with a specific casino, such as the luxurious Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco.
In most jurisdictions, it is legal to operate a casino only in jurisdictions where gambling is legal. Casinos can be located in land-based settings, on cruise ships or in destination resorts such as Las Vegas or Macau.
