(an average of one film every two years). In addition, three unofficial films were released in different years.

The series earned its creators more than $6 billion, making it the second most successful film franchise in history. Bond’s distinguishing characteristics are adventure, determination, a focus on the forceful resolution of conflicts, a passion for women, gambling, and alcohol. In this review, we will consider the top 5 movies that are loved by users of the online casino Zodiac, as well as millions of people around the world.

#1 – Dr. No

The very first Bond movie depicts James Bond’s lifestyle:

  • Performing hazardous tasks
  • Beautiful women and dry martinis (shaken, not stirred) are two of my favorite things.
  • Take a break in a warm climate;
  • Combat with villains;
  • Game of chance.

The premiere took place on October 5, 1962, in London. The film was shown in theaters in the United States six months later. The phrase “My name is Bond, James Bond” was first used by Bond in the baccarat scene in the club with Bond Girl Sylvia Trench and has also become an integral part of the entire franchise. The film was a resounding commercial and audience success. Sean Connery has gained worldwide fame, and Bond has become one of the most famous and iconic film franchises in the world.

#2 – Thunderball

In part 4 of the sequel, Bond, as always, will have to get out of a series of deadly situations and save thousands of innocent lives. His assistant is the mistress of one of the members of the SPECTRE group, the beautiful and courageous Italian Domino (Claudine Auger). The spectacular scenes of Young’s film were spent on a budget equal to the budget of the first three James Bond films.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service Casino Scene with Tracy Bond

#3 – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

In fact, this is perhaps the most serious and realistic film about the British agent 007. Even the eternally cardboard villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, performed by the talented Telly Savalas, looks natural and does not look so much like a schizophrenic who wants to enslave the world, like the hero of the same Donald Pleasence.

Goldeneye Casino Scene

#4 – GoldenEye

GoldenEye is the seventeenth movie about 007 Goldeneye, with Pierce Brosnan playing a fictional MI6 agent. During the casino scene, Bond defeats the Russian agent at baccarat. Unlike the previous series, the casino scene in this one is quite long. Since this creates tension between the two characters, the game is an important scene.

#5 – Casino Royale

It’s easy to guess from the title of this Bond movie, which first starred Daniel Craig, that it has the most casino scenes. Moreover, several of the Texas Hold’em games depicted in the film are crucial to the plot. A significant portion of the movie is set in a casino. The game involves multiple players, all of whom join Bond in his fight against the main Bond villain, Le Chiffre.
