music makes everything better. if you're winning a lot of money and you have a good tune playing, you feel like you're on top of the world.
when i'm winning a lot of money and my heart rate starts pumping and i get that nice rush, i often get get Motorhead's Ace of Spades playing in my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbvWn1EY6g
i wouldn't say that it's my go-to gambling song. in fact, i'd say it's a little overdone. however, it's hard to not think about it when you really need just one more card to clean the whole table

a song that's about gambling that i like to gamble to is Beginner's Luck by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K6sPqLAGRY
beginner's luck is a real thing and can be dangerous if you're not careful. it usually ends with greed, and then disappointment. although this song is about overplaying your hand, then trying to cheat and getting caught and screwing yourself over, it still gets me hyped on gambling while also keeping me in check. also, the guitar solo at the end is rad as gently caress

Can't beat some classic Kenny Rogers "Know when to hold them know when to fold them". That's poker terminology for the uninformed here for when you flop a texas roadhouse on the river horse.

Can't stop me now is also a good one for when I'm losing all my money (the song is by Queen though look them up pretty popular) and my wife and family are begging me to stop but I double down and throw my four year old on the table for the next round of mahjong, a game I don't understand or know to play but can't stop me now!

"Poker Face" for obvious reasons, as I make furtive side glances at my gambling opponents at the roullete table as I really explain that lady gaga is saying "gently caress her face" as I slosh my free well drink all over.

Ray Manzarek's The Gambler, which is not a cover of the Kenny Rogers song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2rJkaenxHg

Smashing Pumpkins' The Gambler, which is a cover and one of the wackiest things Billy Corgan has done in a live show in a career of wacky things.

this song helps me to remember what card is the best card in card games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg9aQvjMS60

aces are high, even though they're 1s.

and this song reminds me that if you go to the cheapest buffet at 4 am and gorge on the unlimited shrimp bar, there will be consequences

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIBTg7q9oNc

also johnny cash I feel like understands what it means to be a degenerate gambler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJlN9jdQFSc

pretty much just listen to johhny cash over and over while slugging cheap whisky and staring bleary-eyed at your lovely hole cards



You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

I've got a playlist that I put together for cards nights, but looking at it, it's mostly about the booze and smoking.



But the standouts for me are The Clash's Wrong 'Em Boyo, and the song that it's a cover of, Wrong Embryo by The Rulers.

I'm playing craps though so my bet on Red makes no sense and people are confused but the House still takes it.

This is a great all-around song and perfectly captures the whole Southern riverboat thing.

This is the song I would put on my MP3 player when the train would start to cross the salt marshes to Atlantic City.

This has nothing literally to do with gambling, but it will always be synonymous with the Las Vegas Strip for me.

Lol this is a great song but it’s about slinging coke. I guess you could say it’s about gambling anyways

Grinding on the corners and grinding 12 tables of limit holdem is pretty much the same thing, is what I am saying.
