Casino in a Prison

Casino in Antarctica
It might be one of the most uninhabitable places in the world, but they do still have a casino, mostly it is for all the hardcore gambling penguins. Sure, it’s still a casino in a building, but its location is what makes it so special.
Casino In a Taxi
You can be sure to pay a little extra for a ride in this cab. This is probably the only cab you could lose all your money in before even getting to the casino to lose your money! They say taking a taxi in a strange country is a gamble, but this might be going too far.

Casino on a Plane
