1.  Cousin Vito's Casino Podcast (Apple Podcasts)
This is a casual, informative and entertaining podcast series. ‘Cousin Vito’ is an old hand at pretty much everything to do with gambling. Together with different guests, his podcasts cover topics from Fantasy Football to tips on playing poker, the do’s and don’ts for the recreational gambler, sports betting and casino reviews. The podcasts generally take the form of conversations between Cousin Vito and his guests, and his enthusiasm for whatever topic in hand is infectious, as is his great sense of humor.

2. Gamble On (Apple Podcasts)
This series of weekly podcasts from USBets.com is hosted by Managing Editor Eric Raskin and Senior Analyst John Brennan, who also invite expert guest speakers onto the show. They cover in-depth analysis of all the current news on sports betting, mainly in the US. From the NFL, college football and baseball to niche sports betting and horse racing, the topics are really wide-ranging. If you’re interested in changes to betting legislation, industry mergers and new company launches, you’ll find the lowdown on all the latest news here. The podcasts also cover casinos and gambling in general, with the focus on poker. If you’re into the nitty-gritty of who’s who and what’s what, this podcast series is rich in facts and expert opinion.

3. Casinos USA (Apple Podcasts)
Host Coach Fav’s style is casual and conversational, talking directly to the listener. He imparts some sound advice on gambling in casinos, like “quit when you’re ahead” and some other equally good tips. All with a touch of humour. Each podcast contains his popular segment on craps, which is Coach Fav’s favourite game, so take notes if it’s yours too as this is really his forte. His podcasts also cover a variety of other topics, from making the most of casino hotel resorts to tax implications on big winnings on the slots.

4. Casino Kombat (Spotify)
Hosted by The Ramblin Gambler (aka TRG), this podcast series often takes the form of tutorials on a range of games and topics – known as Bootkamp. TRG uses his own experience and that of his team in terms of wagering strategies. He considers gambling as a ‘side hustle’ and is not afraid to admit to occasional losses . Luckily for him, Mrs TRG is equally fond of gambling, and each year they celebrate their anniversary in Las Vegas. Tips and tricks are only part of the topic choices, as all things casino are covered in the podcasts, with rewards programs and even the quality of cocktails served in casinos up for discussion.

5. Due for a Win (Apple Podcasts)
Hosts Kyle and Craig are Atlantic City casino enthusiasts. The show focuses on the area’s casinos as well as local bars and restaurants. They occasionally venture out of their territory to cover Las Vegas and other gambling meccas. They also throw in some non-gambling related tidbits about Atlantic City, including the disappearance of Bette Cooper, the reluctant winner of the Miss America pageant held in the town, Monopoly (which was originally based on the streets of Atlantic City), and famous movies shot in the city. Each podcast covers current gambling and casino news.

Whether you’re into sports betting, table games or slots – or just enjoy the thrills and spills of being in a casino environment – there’s a podcast out there to pique your interest. We couldn’t think of a better way to brush up on one’s gambling knowledge while enjoying top quality entertainment provided by great presenters.
