A casino or the casino?

Hi,

'When I am desperate for money, I go to a casino.'

'When I am desperate for money, I go to the casino.'

Would you agree that either is correct with the following nuance:

'a casino' - When I am desperate for money, I go to a place that's a casino (emphasis on the place)

'the casino' - When I am desperate for money, I go gambling to a place that is a casino (emphasis on the action). Or maybe the only casino that's available in my place.

Right?
