Casino sound loop for poker night?

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.

Best answer: 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

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.

Response by poster: 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.
