A satirical look at the US American casino culture

Casinoland - Tired of Winning is the result of a thirty year long photography project in which Michael Rababy documents US American gambling culture. Rows of shrill slot machines, glowing billboards, and gaudy splendor appear alongside exhausted faces, tired looks, and lost games. Rababy's realistic camera view scrutinizes the glamorous appearance of the gleaming gambling halls and exposes their mendacious promises of wealth. The series focuses more on the casino as a capitalist institution as a whole than on the individual gamblers. Michael Rababy is a Lebanese-American documentary photographer, who deals frequently with US American culture and society in his work. He works as a freelance photographer and has photographed for numerous media companies. Casinoland - Tired of Winning is his fourth book project.
