Every now and then a music video comes along that goes beyond simply showcasing the song within the clip. These videos may do this as a means of fleshing out a story, which can more effectively communicate the underlying themes of the music. The “Casino Winninz“ short film released by Yardcore Films in August of last year is a perfect example of this sort of music video. And in this case, it showcases a medley of popular songs rather than a single hit song by a single artist.
Specifically, “Casino Winninz” features “Casino” by Reese Badda (which comes across as the main song of the video), “Blackjack” by Sirus Badda, and “The Bluff” by Popsy Badda, along with performances by actors such as Demi Lovinit. So what do we think of the “Casino Winninz” medley and short film? Ultimately, it’s fun, intriguing, and in the end somewhat surprising.
The next segment, featuring “Blackjack,” begins to touch on the thrill of winning, as the video shows shots of cards flipping over and casino chips being raked in. But it’s in the final act, during “The Bluff,” that things get a little weird. The video moves quickly from the casino table to crime. As an intruder interrupts the game, there’s a hastily filmed gunshot, and suddenly the main cast is looking in on a prisoner in the trunk of a car. unexpectedly, he had been staged by his girlfriend. The trap setter ends up trapped himself. Here, they wanted to show the dangerous side to high-stakes gambling, which also appear in movies like “Casino” which is mentioned by Reese Badda at the very beginning of the video.
That being said, from a musical perspective, the effect is solid. It’s a well-constructed medley of three highly enjoyable songs.
