Poker songs

During many years poker has been a source of inspiration for a lot of artists, from film directors to writers or singers. They all have in common the fact that they were able to transmit in their art the sensations you experienced when playing poker.
It goes without saying that poker fans love to see anything related to their favourite game, so they really welcome poker themed art in any of its many versions, as for instance the music. In fact, many poker related songs have appeared, but without any doubt the most popular one so far is “The gambler” by Kenny Rogers. You don’t know it? Then, why not to try listening to this song while playing a poker hand in your favourite online poker room?

Poker films

The number of poker fans does not stop growing and everyday are more the ones that play it online or offline. Film producers are aware of this trend and that is why poker related movies do not stop appearing. However, even though this tendency is more obvious nowadays, with the production of big films like Casino Royale and Ocean’s eleven among many others, poker theme movies are not new in the cinema history.
The first good example of a poker themed movie dates back to 1965, with the release of “The Cincinnati kid”, whose success marked the beginning of a new movement. However, we will have to wait till 1998 to see another movie that matched the high quality of the previous one. This movie was “Ronders” played by Matt Damon and Edward Norton.
Taking into consideration the great number of poker themed movies in the last years it seem clear that as long as there are poker fans, there will be poker movies.
