This chapter analyzes the signifying potential of gambling and casino
culture as a seminal feature of James Bond-ness and the 007-universe.
It argues that gambling and casinos, both of which are updated with
every new outing of James Bond, have important cultural, political and
economic ramifications. In particular, the chapter asks how and what
casino gambling signifies as it is updated in Skyfall (2012), in terms of
the film’s mise-en-scène as well as its geopolitical configuration as a
colonizing industry in a global economy that is increasingly dependent on
various forms of gambling. Finally, the chapter connects various aspects
of what has been referred to as “cinematic revisionism” to the politics and
economics of neoliberalization, 007, and global casino culture.
