"At the casino" or "at a casino"?

I have heard somewhere that one has to write "at the casino", even if you are talking about casino in general. I did not find any explanations online, Google shows more hits for "at the casino", and half of the examples are talking about casino in general, not specific one.
Native speakers insist that it should be "at a casino" though.
Who is right?

thank you!

In my opinion it is still in the casino, after all there is such a beautiful saying as "it's night at the casino" and I think in such cases one should remember it, I also know for a fact that in the casino https://elroyalecasino.bet/ it's never night, but always a day full of joy
