DraftKings, MGM Resorts International, and PENN Entertainment are the three Casino stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. “Casino stocks” is a slang term for equities that trade with extreme volatility and speculative hype, often driven more by momentum and investor sentiment than by traditional fundamentals. These shares—frequently low‐liquidity, highly leveraged or in early‐stage companies—can deliver outsized gains but also carry a high probability of steep losses. In essence, buying casino stocks is more akin to placing a bet on short-term price swings than investing for steady, long-term performance. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Casino stocks within the last several days.
