Help me jazz up poker night! I need a casino background sound loop for poker night. You know what I'm looking for - imagine you're sitting at a blackjack table in Vegas. You hear the ringing of the slots, the low murmur of voices, clinking of glasses. That distinctive sound of a casino. A fifteen minute section of sound that I could loop would be terrific.

Go to a casino and do some recording? If you get a couple of hours worth you could easily cut it down to what you want.

Bunch of stuff here - no experience with them or how it works, but you could loop a whole bunch of these together.

second the soundogs web site-- you could pull a Phil Spector and create a custom wall of sound of effects to loop over and over

You need Casino by Jonathan Coleclough, on Ideal Records.

Second Lotto's suggestion that you do some field recording (but you may not have any near-by sources).

Vaguely related, but not really an answer -- I was in a casino somewhere in Nevada, driving across on I-80, when I noticed the background music -- it was standard oldies, something by the Beach Boys. And THEN, Dion's big, sombre hit from late '68-early '69 came on: "Abraham, Martin and John." Soured my mood instantly -- got the hell out of there, and back on the road.

I can't imagine that casino security would let me stay long if they noted I was recording!

Sierra On-line put out a Casino game not too long ago that ran on both PC and Mac. While it waited for you to pick a game to play, it produced a very realistic casino background noise that could be piped through your hi-fi.

It's incidentally highly recommended if you want to learn to count cards out of a one-deck blackjack shoe; it'll keep track of the count for you and let you know if you're betting right or not. It's also good for learning the rules of the various games.
