As for me, this is one of the worst films about casinos and gamers. The film is just absurd. The very name suggests that it is better to pass by this "masterpiece of cinema". However, as a true casino fan, I was not able to pass this movie. It seems to me that it would be easier to get an online casino bonus than to watch this movie to the end. I understand that this is a pretty old movie, but there are many older films that do not cause such negative emotions when viewed. Of course, this is just my subjective opinion.

Yu Pui Tsuen II (1987)
6.1 /10
Before Michael Mak’s Sex And Zen became a cult favourite in the ’90s, there was Ho Fan’s Yu Pui Tsuen (The Carnal Prayer Mat, 1987). But without sex bomb Amy Yip, coarse humour or lesbian love affairs, Yu Pui Tsuen had to rely on the nudity and sex from his cast of relative unknowns to save the day. When a young man dreams that he drowns after a night of carnal passion, he asks a buddhist monk to translate the experience for him. The monk replies that the dream is a warning not to indulge the pleasures of the flesh to excess, but the man ignores his advice, marrying a virgin and making love to her constantly. However, after several torrid affairs, the man begins to realise the sagacity of the monk's warning.
