Casino is a 1995 American epic crime film directed by Martin Scorsese, produced by Barbara De Fina and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film is based on the nonfiction book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas by Nicholas Pileggi, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the film with Scorsese. Plautus' Casina is a lively and well composed farce. The plot, which concerns the competition of a father and his son for the same girl and the various scurrilous tricks employed in the process, gives full scope to Plautus' inventiveness and richly comic language.

Plot
Casina takes place on the streets of Athens and the characters are all Greek. There is a beautiful girl, Casina, who is being fought over by two slaves. She was abandoned on the door of Lysidamus and his wifeCleostrata, and raised as a servant. Euthynicus, son of Lysidamus, fell in love with Casina and wanted to marry her, but as the wedding approached, Lysidamus wanted Casina for himself, and he devised an elaborate ruse to get Euthynicus out to the country and have Casina marry his servant Olympio instead. In this way, Lysidamus would be able to have sex with Casina whenever he wanted as she would be the wife of his servant in name only. Really, she would be concubine to Lysidamus, without his own wife Cleostrata finding out. Cleostrata opposes this plan and wants Casina to marry her slave Chalinus, who would be stand in for Euthynicus until his return from the country.
Casina Summary Graphic Organizer
The conflict between father and son becomes a battle between husband and wife. To fix the situation, Cleostrata proposed to draw lots (the play is also known as The Lot-Drawers), but unfortunately, Lysidamus wins. Cleostrata and her servants then devise one scheme after another to keep Lysidamus from collecting his prize. Cleostrata finds out about her husband's scheme to sleep with Casina before Olympio takes her home. She dresses her servant Chalinus as Casina and humiliates both Olympio and Lysidamus by taking advantage of the darkened bedroom in her neighbor's home where Lysidamus' affair was to take place. In the dark, Olympio reaches under the dress of 'Casina': 'I put my hands on a... a... handle. But now that I think about it, she didn't have a sword: that would have been cold... It's so embarrassing!!' Lysidamus has been beaten by his wife, and his sins have all been exposed to the public. Cleostrata takes him back and life returns to normal. There follows a brief epilogue which explains that Euthynicus returns from the country and he will indeed marry Casina, who was really a free-born Athenian when she was taken into the family.
