CASINO ROYALE
July 23, 2013  | By David Bianculli  | 15 comments

AMC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

With this 2006 movie, the James Bond franchise was rebooted yet again, introducing Daniel Craig as the actor who still plays Bond today. This film recycles the title of the one Ian Fleming novel whose rights were sold elsewhere prior to the establishment of the “official” cinematic Bond franchise, starting with the inimitable Sean Connery. That’s why, on the CBS anthology drama series Climax! in 1954, Barry Nelson got to play American spy “Jimmy Bond” in a TV adaptation of Casino Royale. It’s also why the same title was sold for a star-studded (and delightful) Bond spoof movie in 1967, in which David Niven played a retired James Bond pressed back into service. If you discount the satirical Casino Royale, but count the tacky TV version, that means Craig is following in the footsteps of Nelson, Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. Which, if my count is correct, makes him actor number 007 to play 007.

It was Friday evening, there was nothing much to do, and I started looking for online entertainment. I came across casino and decided to give it a try, although I had previously been wary of such things. First, I played with bonus funds, then I replenished my account a little. I was very pleased with the quick registration and clear interface. Over the course of a couple of days, I did not encounter any problems - even the withdrawal went smoothly. The experience was unexpectedly pleasant.

Gambling can strain relationships, lead to job loss, and cause emotional instability. Families of problem gamblers often suffer from neglect, stress, and financial insecurity.

you open a Bond article and it’s just a dumping ground for affiliate spam. someone’s talking fishing, someone else raves about crypto casinos, one guy just typed “heyY!”. got a DM myself during all this — https://playplinko.org/providers/gaming-corps/uplinko-fashion-tv/ — apparently it’s “TV show–style” and “next-level casino.” honestly, can we just greenlight Bond 008: Plinko Protocol at this point?

Egy kollégám ajánlotta a bet365 magyarországról linket, miután panaszkodtam, hogy nem találok megbízható információkat Vengria játékaira. Elsore szkeptikus voltam, de meglepett, mennyi hasznos tanácsot találtam ott. Olyan tippeket is olvastam, amikrol korábban még csak nem is hallottam. Például az alacsony kockázatú élo fogadásokról. A struktúrált áttekintés miatt könnyu eligazodni.

Weird thing — I overheard two dudes talking about crypto casinos at a coffee shop (yeah, eavesdropping like a boss). One of them mentioned https://www.casinoco.in/, and my ears perked up. Got home, gave it a try, and honestly? It’s smoother than I expected. Super fast payments, and it’s wild how you can check every transaction on the blockchain. I threw a few bets on some live games and loved the fast vibe. Definitely beats most of the shady platforms out there.

My mate texted about a fishing trip, and I was hyped to plan it later. Looked for a casino site to mess around on in the meantime. Saw Neospin Casino, and it looked inviting with its cool design. This Australian site’s got plenty – slots, card games – and bonuses like free spins or a deposit match, so you can play more and it feels relaxed. Kept me going till we sorted the trip.
