The casinos don't like anyone who wins. I have seen casinos backoff blackjack players that were absolutely not counting. They were varying bets, but they were increasing at times of disadvantage and just happen to get lucky and win more of those big bets, and boom, "sir you are no longer welcome to play blackjack".
I have seen casinos 86 roulette players just because they were winning. They weren't cheating, nor using and legitimate system that would give them an advantage, just getting lucky and hitting more than their share of numbers and told they can no longer play. And that is in today's environment. Prior to the last 15 years, you weren't told you were no longer welcome to play, you were taken to the back room and beat up.
Casinos don't like players who win. And they do not differentiate between players cheating and players winning, nor do they differentiate between table and machine players. Casinos
DON'T like players who win!
