Whether you're a card shark, seasoned gambler, have pockets of luck or just holes in your pockets, a trip to the casino is always good for a laugh. The hypnotising spin of the roulette wheel, the musical enticement of the slot machines, the allure of bluffing your way through a game of Texas Hold 'Em, the draw of the dice and the temptations of the games on offer are all well worth a dabble on a decadent weekend.

Set yourself a limit and don't exceed it! Play it right and you may leave with a big smile on your face and an extra wedge in your pocket. Go beserk, withdraw your life savings and pawn everything from your boxers to your shoelaces and you might be in a spot of bother.

Place your bets, this one's gonna be interesting!
