But this episode was a little different and the ending, IMO is Tony finally putting to rest his internal struggles with the fear that he was going to be "punished" some time for his actions.
In the casino, we're given further indication of this when Tony throws his money on roulette and wins. And then wins again. And again. He says something like, "I killed him", and is so happy with the realization that there is no karma and he will not be punished for his actions, that he is thrown back on to the floor in a heap of laughter.
And then of course, in the end, when he screamed "I get it!" at the skies, it really sealed the deal in my eyes that Tony finally does "get it". Karma doesn't exist. There's no "higher being" watching him and punishing him for his crimes. I could be totally out to lunch here, but I bet Tony comes back for the remainder of the series even more ruthless than ever before.
He takes New York out and any one else he feels like taking out.

I actually thought that whole gambling, yelling at the sunset thing was all a hallucination... he's probably still laying by the toilet... or worse, I hope it wasn't an allusion to him still being comatose. Since there was that beacon-like flash in the bathroom and again at the sunset... I dunno, made me wonder.
I think it was meant to show that his luck was about to change... I think it in fact goes the other way. NJ is in no shape to take out NY. Or, there is the theory of Tony being in his own personal hell... remember that story that one guy said about the twilight zone episode where hell was winning every bet and being loved by everyone?
