All of us casino players can be superstitious when it boosts our performance. At the same time, even just listening to songs about winning should help you get into the right mind-set. Either way, the Lucky Admiral wants to share his top-five favourite gambling songs that you should listen to while here at the casino.
Luck Be a Lady - Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was a frequent visitor to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the two Meccas of gambling in North America. Ol’ Blue Eyes, as he was commonly referred to, would often be booked for a string of performances in those cities, with fans flocking from all over to enjoy both gambling and music in unison.
Sinatra sings of luck being a lady and that a gentleman should be able to appreciate that. In addition, the song also highlights the importance of loyalty to each other, and that luck should be respected. This is certainly a classy track that would be enjoyed at a card table.
Gambler – Madonna
Madonna has been an iconic figure in music ever since she burst on the scene in the 1980s. She tore up all the rules for female performers, bringing with her a fierceness that could not be tamed by the male singers dominating the status quo.
What makes Gambler such a great song is that Madonna puts forth an uncompromising image, whereby she sings of playing the game her way and expressing a willingness to take her chances. Perhaps you could enjoy listening to this song while trying your chances at slots.
Viva Las Vegas – Elvis Presley
Next in this list of casino songs has to be Viva Las Vegas by Elvis Presley. There is no better song in celebration of Sin City and has to be on your travel playlist if you ever find that you are travelling there on holiday.
You listen to this song while playing pretty much any game, be it roulette or poker. In fact, Elvis specifically sings that you should try a blackjack table or a poker wheel, but advises that you need “a strong heart and a nerve of steel” in Las Vegas.

The Gambler – Kenny Rogers
Nope, Kenny Rogers is not Colonel Sanders of KFC fame. He may be grey, bearded, and dressed like a Southern gentleman, but Rogers’ song The Gambler is one for the ages. The relaxed nature of the song makes it a sterling option for poker players.
The Gambler tells the story of an encounter between a presumably young poker player and a season gambler who has heard his share of casino music. In addition to sharing advice on reading opponents, the gambler in question also highlights the important of knowing when to hold cards, fold them, or even just straight-up walk away.
Ace of Spades – Motörhead
There is just something irresistible about the pulsating drive of this relentless track. You might not be wary of Motörhead and their lead singer, the now deceased Lemmy, but you most certainly have heard this track, Ace of Spades.
Aces of Spades is such a track because it can help you increase momentum and ride out the cold streaks, with Lemmy singing, “You win some, lose some, all the same to me”. He even sings about riding out sevens, elevens, and snake eyes before finally getting the ace of spades.
Those five tracks are just the first of many more lucky songs out there. So, why not share some of your own personal favourites with us? We’re all ears! Get on over to our social media pages and start chatting to us today.
