Gambling sites give a bitcoin address for every user. Users send btc to these addresses. They can play afterwards.
How do they ensure the security of these servers? The script they wrote could be safe. But a person working in the hosting company can change these bitcoin addresses. Users who are members of the site will send btc to the hosting employee's address.

What kind of security measures are they taking for this?

One of the safest methods that comes to my mind is to hire a dedicated server. It would be safer if the machine was physically controlled by me. At least it is protected from people working in the hosting company.

Another method is to use reliable cloud services. Companies like Amazon, Google, or Microsoft may be preferred for security reasons.
But I'm not sure if these companies allow gambling sites.

You are uninformed and confused, employee in hosting company? you think such activities like processing coins between users and casinos happen in the server? they're being generated in safe and secured bitcoin wallets/ clients and every thing is heavily encrypted.
When you see the lock pad in green color in address bar of your browser saying : Secure  | https that means the connection is secured and you are the only one in connection with the site and no one else can manipulate anything.

When it says Not Secure then it's not secure. employee of hosting company lol, you watch Mr.Robot lately?

When you are a member of any gambling site, the site is given a bitcoin address for BTC depositing.
The same goes for trade sites. In order to be able to trade on the stock exchanges, you need to deposit the address  BTC first.

These addresses are given to you immediately after you join the system.

Where are these bitcoin addresses stored?

If you are worried about sabotage because of the generation of the bitcoin addresses to deposit for the gamblers. If that will happen, a gambler can complain that they already deposited btc to that address and of course there's always an agreement between the casino and hosting providers, I don't think an employee will play dirty as what you are thinking.

A malicious hosting worker can change these bitcoin addresses.
For example your bitcoin address appears in your user panel. The hosting worker can change the site's source code. When you enter your own panel, you can see the btc addresses that the hosting worker puts on.
It can do this for all users. And everybody sends the wrong address btc.

I know that they can do it. But of course a company will hire those employees that has followed the etiquette and required attitude for them to be able to get hired. That will be the negligence of the company if ever their employee is going to do this crazy thing, they are the ones that will need to cover and pay for the damage. But I really don't think this is going to happen.

If such an activity is performed by the employees then the gambling website as well the tie up firms will lose its reputation. This on times will lead to get negative feedback to the company. So everything is planned in a way that none of the employee involve in such behaviour.

There's also this thing called : encryption

People are known to use it from time to time  :D

The only thing to do is to secure the Inspect Element on a certain gambling site to prevent anyone to change the designated bitcoin address for the players who wants to deposit on their site that i s going to be used in playing gambling. And of course the Security does matter, since there are so many ways to hack a gambling site.

I don't think something like that could happened , even someone could sabotage the bitcoin address i think the site owner might will know about it.
This is interesting question about bitcoin security , i believe a lot of people never crossed in their minds to questioning about this matter.
And maybe a casino owner is the only one who appropriate to talk about this.

The big casino/dice sites probably perform daily security audits to be safe. it's not that easy to change the source and not get noticed!

The bitcoin addresses that they give is for the depositing. Gambling sites will give bitcoin address for you to deposit to be able to play and this is how most of the gambling sites works. Others let you earn free bitcoins to be able to play the games on their site. For the security measures, I think there is nothing for you to be afraid ( if you are ) about that if ever a person working for them changes the bitcoin addresses. I never heard of a case like that, besides you don't have to worry about that because if that ever happens the developers and the team are the ones who are going to worry about that. Just saying...

Even for employs in datacenters to access bitcoin wallet and change it, they will require wallet password set by owner without it they can't make any transfers out of that bitcoin wallet.

Talking about possible change in receiving bitcoin address, this addresses are not pre-generated. When some users want to make a deposit script hosted in one hosting provider connects with node running either in owner's personal computer or in remote VPS/dedicated server and creates dedicated deposit address for that user which will be than displayed. So i don't think changing address is possible by employees in those datacenters.
