What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 Episode 4 The Casino

The Casino is the fourth episode of the third season of What We Do in the Shadows, a horror-comedy television series. The show is based on the 2014 film of the same name by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi.

In The Casino, the vampire housemates attempt to raise money for a noble cause - resurrecting their familiar Guillermo, who was accidentally killed by Nandor at the end of the previous season. After considering various options, they decide to try their luck at a nearby casino, with Las Vegas-style extravagance and bling brimming beyond the velvet ropes.

The vampires head to the casino accompanied by Guillermo's ghost, who serves as a guide and mentor, offering tips and tricks to his former masters. The housemates indulge in various games and vices, including poker, blackjack, roulette, and slots, while Guillermo watches from the sidelines, rooting for them.

The vampires soon discover that the casino is not an ordinary human establishment but is, in fact, owned and operated by a rival clan of vampires. The rival clan's leader is an eccentric, flamboyant vampire named Vicente who dresses like Liberace and is obsessed with his pet chihuahua, which he suspects has supernatural abilities.

The housemates try to stay under the radar and avoid a confrontation with Vicente's clan, but their luck runs out when Nandor attracts Vicente's attention by inadvertently winning big at the poker table. Vicente invites the vampires to his private suite and offers them a deal - he will help them raise money if they agree to work for him as loan sharks and muscle, essentially becoming his minions.

The vampires reject Vicente's offer and prepare to leave, but Guillermo convinces them to stay and con Vicente out of his money, while also exposing him to the authorities. The housemates hatch a plan to cheat at the roulette wheel using Guillermo's ghostly powers, while Nandor and Laszlo infiltrate Vicente's office and steal incriminating evidence.

The plan goes awry when Vicente catches them in the act and reveals that he had anticipated their scheme and rigged the roulette wheel. The vampires are cornered and outnumbered by Vicente's clan, but just when all seems lost, an unexpected ally arrives on the scene and turns the tables in their favor.

The Casino is a funny and suspenseful episode that showcases the show's signature blend of gory horror, deadpan humor, and wacky hijinks. The characters' diverse personalities and idiosyncrasies are on full display, with each one contributing to the plot in their unique way. The episode's pacing is brisk and the twists and turns keep the audience guessing till the end. Overall, The Casino is a highly entertaining episode that will leave fans and newcomers alike craving for more of the show's dark and quirky humor.
