Gambling City, also released as The Cheaters, is a 1975 Italian poliziottesco heist film directed by Sergio Martino. The Italian title is La città gioca d’azzardo.
This was one of several European heist films produced in response to the popular success of American films in the genre like The Sting (1973). Gambling City features many of the genre’s standard conventions, including a Byronic hero who acts as a social bandit by practicing confidence tricks, the hero’s forbidden love with a socially repressed damsel in distress (who may or may not exhibit facets of the femme fatale) and a morally corrupt dandy as villain and the hero’s foil.
