"Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus". The stakes are down for Stéphane Dumas (Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge) who has resolved to beat the Casino at its own game at all costs. Fresh out of jail where he was sentenced for a crime he had not committed, Stéphane lands in Montréal, bent on avenging the suicide of his father, a compulsive gambler, and confronting Kim-Dee Nguyen (Thai-Hoa Le)- the man who betrayed him. But does he hold the winning cards? This series deals with issues that are present on the minds of many people, as collateral damages of gambling such as dependency and torn lives amount. A social commentary on gambling and its frequent links to organized crime and money laundering, Casino brings you behind the scenes of this secret world with its good and not so good facets.
