That's for sure. I remember Slotworld (near Gold Dust West) in Carson had a miniature satellite branch (Slotworld Cabaret Casino) on North Carson St. (actually the cross street Winnie at Carson). As late as 2016 this place was full of old Bally Gamemakers and double-up model Game Kings. It was almost always attended by one person, and it was almost always dead in there. Man the damage that could have been done or perhaps that was done by a colluding attendant and player.
Tableplay the main reason I don’t think too much damage can be done for TOO LONG is because casinos and slot companies track results. If the results are too far away from what’s considered statistically normal, alarm bells will go off.

This is how they knew something was going on with Nester and Kane. They were hitting one or two casinos too hard, and alarm bells went off.

It all comes back to greed. Once someone has a good play they usually push it too far. This is also what brought down Phil Ivey with his edge sorting play.

Because most people aren’t disciplined enough, casinos probably don’t have too much to worry about. People’s greed will kill most big money advantage or cheating plays.
It would definitely have to be gradual (the damage being done in aggregate - shear the sheep) and with very modest wins such that the extension branch was only a little less profitable (but always profitable) and then maybe only hitting it for a couple days a month. Anyway shit like this has gone down and may still being down with older non-server based inventories where the only audits occur by opening the individual game and checking. It definitely doesn't last forever and people who do this are risking their freedom.
