Title: Casinos can use AI to get additional edge?
Post by: hatshepsut93 on June 23, 2019, 08:14:09 PM
Gambling is all about random number generation, and provably fair scheme provides guarantees that casino doesn't cheat, but we also know that humans are horrible random number generators - we are very easily predictable.

There are many online demonstrations available, I'll just drop one here: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kms/schools/rps/index.php
After a small number of games, computer becomes quite good at consistently beating you at the game.

So, theoretically a casino can observe how you place your bets, then predict your next bets and make their own bets (they always go first) accordingly. The flaw here is if this algorithm is implemented too naively, it can be abused by players by making big amounts of predictable low-value bets, and then making a big opposite bet.

The gambler always knows that there game is being read by someone else besides them and there is no way of proving this with their famous line of defence "they can't manipulate games" but we know the truth and AI is certainly at play! I have had this experience with blackjack, dice and many other games....the losing streak is my evidence :P

One losing streak of one player can hardly be called evidence, to get real evidence, you need to statistically analyze millions of bets and then calculate if the real house edge is bigger than the claimed house edge. This is because in short term anything can happen, you can lose or win 20 times in a row, sometimes there are bad days for casino when they lose a lot, and so on - what we should be looking at is big data.

With a nonce system (which many online casinos use), the results are predetermined and can't be altered without a new server seed.

We're to believe and play, the provably fair feature can really be implemented but the reality can't be examined. Always the casinos develop an algorithm that adjust with the winning made by the user. Here very lucky ones get out with a big win. As stated in a quote there is no big loss for the casinos. Maybe at times it provides with huge payout, but the same will be taken back if the player continues. This has taken place with me. I started with 0.01btc and after a week I turned it to 0.05btc further I was unable to earn than losing on majority of the picks. Finally ended with nothing in the wallet.

For such gambler who do only make few bets then it wont really that enough to prove out something and also

if you do try to make arguments that the site isn't fair then you would need up some solid evidence and about AI or any whatsoever
algorithms we are speaking on here it non a surprising thing actually.

I did observed some games like roulette wherein it looks like the casinos or maybe AI, when they see the pattern of your bets, you won't see success as it used to be. Of course there is almost the edge, but I don't know, see this many times when I'm playing that's why when I had a good run I will simply stop. At least I have won a few and move on the next game.

We really are horrible random number generators but I don't think that gambler site owner won't implement algorithm too naively where what you mentioned is true that it can be abused by players who knows that it has a flaw that you can take advantages. I think they will use algorithm but I think it's more aggressive in giving randomly generated number that make the game base on pure luck.

There will always be the risks of online casinos and anything goes. That is why it is important to only use reputable licensed casinos. Of course, this isn't 100% perfect and diligence always needs to be done, but using common sense and avoiding shady sites is a good way to ensure you avoid any of cheating by the casino.

If a casino is licensed or not doesnt really matter. Casinos usually dont write the software they use by themself, they buy them from software vendors. A friend of mine works for such a company, there are minor tweaks in place which prevent casinos from losing too much money, eg a part of the software ensures that there arent too many jackpots per month

Lossing streak is not a valid evidence. Wondering why you can't beat the house? Because that's the reality of gambling. You only have a small chance in beating the house. Wether you play in online casino or in physical, you'll get the same result. You're going to have more losses.

We're to believe and play, the provably fair feature can really be implemented but the reality can't be examined.

You just said "picks" right? So I assumed, you are talking about sportsbetting? So, the house has nothing to do with the result. Your winning and lossing will be based on the team, fighter, player, etc. So, what can an algorithm thing can do? LOL. What's funnier here is, you are wearing a sig of online casino but you are opposing and looks like you aren't believing in provably fair.

We definitely know that. I think a friend did a test on my before and asked me to guess a few numbers from something to something (I forgotten!) and he showed me that I picked the same number, or the same pattern of numbers,,, over and over. And I did not even realize it.

Casinos definitely watch players, and they see if you like to take big risks and low chances, they will let you do it!

I don't think they need any more AI to get money from gamblers or for them to get additional edge because as we all know casinos will really get profits in the long run depending on the number of times the gambler play. The longer a gambler play the higher chance that gambler will lose, imagine how many gambler's play everyday, with casinos house edges they don't need to cheat or do anything because in the long run they will win.

The casinos always win in the long time as they have the house edge which is set in their slot machines,blackjack and roulette games.I talk about electronic games and not the real blackjack and roulette.

If they add AI it can cause a lot of damage to the gamblers as AI can read patterns and make the appropriate adjustment to the variance of the gameplay if the gsmbler is winning.

Now that we are on a whole new level of technology, there is no question about ai being used by most gambling sites(if not all) to have an edge over their clients. But considering this fact, gamblers still do the betting not because of the house edge but because they enjoy doing so.

Exactly! And that's only a single example out of many ways of overplaying robots. I used to play with bots on newly appeared poker sites, and won over 0.1 BTC that way(unfortunately, it looks like there are no such sites around anymore). It takes several hours(with small bets) to understand their algorithm, and then you can make larger bets and win most of the time. And even in the Rock, Paper, Scissors game, as you said, the algorithm can be abused.

Regarding dice, you can play with the same server seed as many times as you want, so I don't see how AI can provide a provably fair dice site with an additional edge.

Yes, they have house edge already so if they will integrate AI, they will rip more money from the gamblers.  :P
If that would be the case, it might be very hard for the player to win now in casinos.
I don't think that's a good idea if you are a gambler and not the business owner.

Not really. The gambling websites don't use the traditional random number generators. Even computers or programming languages fail at that.

So, theoretically a casino can observe how you place your bets, then predict your next bets and make their own bets (they always go first) accordingly. The flaw here is if this algorithm is implemented too naively, it can be abused by players by making big amounts of predictable low-value bets, and then making a big opposite bet.
They can predict how I bet but can they predict what's the next winning number is going to be? I think not. If any gambling site manages to do that, people would stop playing there.

On point and a pretty basic thing where if they do manage such to know results then that would already be a big issue.
They can know patterns but due to random betting it would be hard or manage to know on what will be the next thing comes into your mind.  ;D

It can help casinos on many ways but it must be set accordingly because not all gamblers in casinos are using technology some are still want to be more on traditional system. I think AI is already working in some casinos but its not that active since they still hire people to go work full time. The future of technology is good, everyone will adopt.

I know that there are different types of AI. Based on my research, there are two types of it with many sub-branches after it. Type 1 and Type 2 AI (based on this reference (https://medium.com/@chethankumargn/artificial-intelligence-definition-types-examples-technologies-962ea75c7b9b))

For Type 1 it can be classified into two
  • Weak AI / Narrow AI - which is focused only on one task and that's it
  • Strong AI - it can perform tasks like a human being (scary it seems lol]

For Type 2 it can be classified into four and it is based on functionalities.
  • Reactive Machines - it's a basic form of AI and it's thinking on the present without using data or information from the past
  • Limited Memory - it bases it's actions with past data. The past information affects the future decisions (good for gambling maybe?)
  • Theory of Mind - an AI with feelings? They are able to understand peoples emotions
  • Self-awareness - like a human (we're not there yet)

For the usage of AI, I think the Machine Learning process on Type 2 limited memory machines would give a lot of chances to win because the more it takes on the information it could be learned on what it's doing and think of the best possible way to achieve the target. There is so much more application to AI that you can ever imagine, not just in casinos.

not all gambling are based on generating random numbers . what card games like poker ? that is an example of skill based and you are using a card not numbers  . there is not right or wrong in generating a number because that is random but i think we it comes to solving something , ai or bots can work well versus humans  .

So, theoretically a casino can observe how you place your bets, then predict your next bets and make their own bets (they always go first) accordingly.
they can observe your bets but they cant predict your next bets  not unless if they are not fair  . also not all gambling game is in versus mode ( dice  game for example ) i think this games are more safe  .

Machine Learning is really usable in casino slot games. You are right that a certain AI will be able to get your play style pattern and used it to casino's advantage but the good thing about it is that you as the gamer can also manipulate AI's work as you can put AI's situation where you wanted to be.

That is the bad thing about Machine Learning because the person who's been feeding the information which is the gambler can control the certain information that he would want the AI to learn and then use it to gamblers advantage.

When you play online poker, I think the calculations are using computation from the script, and if AI has replaced the computation system, I think they could use AI for the calculations. The player still using their skills to play poker but the opponent, which is the house, they could use AI to play for them.

So, theoretically a casino can observe how you place your bets, then predict your next bets and make their own bets (they always go first) accordingly.

Predicting what the next bets from us still difficult to them because of we bets base from the situations in the poker table and I think the AI now are not in that phase and maybe it will need to develop more so AI can work as we want.

But I am sure that in the future when the AI is grown more than now, it can help not just the casino but in the other field. We will see something new in our future and who knows what we saw in the movie will happen to our real life.

I don't think they'll manipulate the result, they already have that house edge so they'll eventually win.
Manipulating results will make their site bad and I guess the reason why more people are still gambling in games where there's a house edge like dice is because they believe they are provably fair.

Well, sports is no doubt a good kind of gambling game, I am also seeing a dice sites now that are integrating sports in their service, they see the demand so they are doing it.

Not only they believe it, but they can check it via a third-party site, or even check that themselves on an offline computer if they are too paranoid :). I have long not been surprised by the fact that most ordinary people don't understand how provably fair works, and thus they think that gambling sites manipulate the outcomes. But I never cease to be surprised by such posts here. Google "how provably fair works" and choose the explanation that suits you in order to not act like flat-earthers anymore.

Nobody would use a casino that is using an artificial intelligence to cheat them out of their money.

If it's a game of skill, then nobody would be stupid enough to go up against an A.I. They've been shown to beat humans at even complex games like DOTA 2 and Go, so why would we be able to win on simple games usually available at casinos?

That being said, I wouldn't want seeing something like this for sports betting, e.g. wagering who will win, and A.I. vs a pro sports team in a competitive game. However, unless it's a shooter, we don't really have much of a chance.

I'm not a fan of AI for gambling (as a player). Seriously, if AI can be as good as OpenAI (DOTA 2), then it will only scare gamblers away. I would rather bet against random luck than strong AI.

I don’t believe there’s any site that cannot be manipulated, sport bet is no exemption but they have tried to make theirs really transparent which is very good. I have come to the acceptance that casinos are designed to always be in their favor and there’s nothing we can do about this. It’s just so bad that dice are roulette are the leaders in this pattern of manipulation

Let’s just be hopeful that things would change with time and casino edge can now be 50/50 but for now, we do all we can to secure our little win and having fun with the games. Even the AI are not working properly as we want it to be, I believe it need to be upgraded and in years to come better than it is at the moment.

With that kind of attitude, you will never grow up boi. Do some research first, please. If OpenAI can beat Dendi, pretty sure it can eliminate 99% of human out there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U4-wvhgx0w
Don't be so salty out there boi.

Who said I'm a crypto trader boi? Who said I'm not aware of that?
AFAIK a trader is not a person who occasionally convert random tokens from a signature campaign into Bitcoin.

Be more constructive or simply don't post boi.

I don't play Dota, so the only thing I can see from this video is that AI(Bot) is beating the human player. And the human is not just a player, but he's one of the best in the field, as far as I understand.

OpenAI (Bot) was given the same algorithm as to Google’s AI that beat the world’s best ‘Go’ player: it wasn't provided with any strategies, nor has it learned from human experts, it was playing with itself from the very beginning and making small improvements, step by step, has has become the best player in the world.

They say AI can beat any player in poker, but I personally doubt it, and it would be very interesting to try to play poker with such a bot.

If the AI can destroy players at a game like Dota, why wouldn't it completely annihilate humans at a much simpler game, like Poker?

Sure, it might not be able to interpret tells and other signs of deception, but purely playing it by the numbers should allow it to beat pretty much any professional over the long run.

I don't play Dota, so the only thing I can see from this video is that AI(Bot) is beating the human player. And the human is not just a player, but he's one of the best in the field, as far as I understand.

OpenAI (Bot) was given the same algorithm as to Google’s AI that beat the world’s best ‘Go’ player: it wasn't provided with any strategies, nor has it learned from human experts, it was playing with itself from the very beginning and making small improvements, step by step, has has become the best player in the world.

I can't imagine how heavily coded the AI in that case but even so, it beat a human?  Why can't they do a robot for that to attack terrorist.

The casino business already pulls in billions every year, how much more of an edge do they need?  They already have one of the best business models where people basically just hand over there money to them.  AI will change a lot of things but I don't see it having a big affect on gambling.

Gambling is all about random number generation, and provably fair scheme provides guarantees that casino doesn't cheat, but we also know that humans are horrible random number generators - we are very easily predictable.

There are many online demonstrations available, I'll just drop one here: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kms/schools/rps/index.php
After a small number of games, computer becomes quite good at consistently beating you at the game.

So, theoretically a casino can observe how you place your bets, then predict your next bets and make their own bets (they always go first) accordingly. The flaw here is if this algorithm is implemented too naively, it can be abused by players by making big amounts of predictable low-value bets, and then making a big opposite bet.


If this is already been done wouldn't it be reasonable to use brand new accounts for every bet? It is actually possible that the big casinos have a way of making rough estimates of gamblers next moves

So we have many application of artificially designed intelligent robots and software that have been helping so much in the business. Couple of days ago I visited Proctor&Gamble’s website and I saw an option for online chat. I though it is a correspondent but it was mid night and correspondents usually do not job at such times. Later I found it is their AI software that helps you with stuff. This is the reason why so many people love P&G and AI.

I know that there are different types of AI. Based on my research, there are two types of it with many sub-branches after it. Type 1 and Type 2 AI (based on this reference (https://medium.com/@chethankumargn/artificial-intelligence-definition-types-examples-technologies-962ea75c7b9b))

For Type 1 it can be classified into two
  • Weak AI / Narrow AI - which is focused only on one task and that's it
  • Strong AI - it can perform tasks like a human being (scary it seems lol]

For Type 2 it can be classified into four and it is based on functionalities.
  • Reactive Machines - it's a basic form of AI and it's thinking on the present without using data or information from the past
  • Limited Memory - it bases it's actions with past data. The past information affects the future decisions (good for gambling maybe?)
  • Theory of Mind - an AI with feelings? They are able to understand peoples emotions
  • Self-awareness - like a human (we're not there yet)

For the usage of AI, I think the Machine Learning process on Type 2 limited memory machines would give a lot of chances to win because the more it takes on the information it could be learned on what it's doing and think of the best possible way to achieve the target. There is so much more application to AI that you can ever imagine, not just in casinos.

If type 2 AI is to be implemented in gambling casinos - combination of limited memory and theory of mind, that would really be scary. Gambler might not have the chance to win anymore. Before, everyone has the slim chance of winning, now with that combination, I don't think a gambler will ever win. But the question is, how much data and how long does it needs to collect data from the player to be considered that it acquired the necessary information to get the full grasp of the player's behaviour?

I do think it would be like a game changer but the fact that something like that is still not out yet in public OR probably it's in a development process that is still top secret. We will never know until we find out. I'm curious with the matter of AI and is part of a group that explores something related to that but not to gambling. Maybe you could call it gambling but it's in trading. Lol.

And I think you got it all wrong with the purpose of the AI. It's for improving your chances in winning. The player would use the AI to somehow predict the best probability of winning in a certain round or the game itself. Not the other way around. If the house uses that, they would have more advantage than ever.

I did observed some games like roulette wherein it looks like the casinos or maybe AI, when they see the pattern of your bets, you won't see success as it used to be. Of course there is almost the edge, but I don't know, see this many times when I'm playing that's why when I had a good run I will simply stop. At least I have won a few and move on the next game.
I also notice that new forms of gambling relies on numbers and code such as roll and the times we would won on a bet game. It it very noticeable that online gambling also provides auto bet that has an intent to create a bet automatically in a choice to navigate the game easily in a way we could just watch and stop when we want to.

AI could be used in many different place as it depends on the kind of artificially designed software. For airports, it is already installed in mega airports like Dubai Airport and maybe in the US I am not sure about that. When it comes to the implications of AI in the business world, you could very easily make use of AI to boost your business and reach as many costumer in seconds so yes, it could improve the gambling market.

Yeah your right great ideas and decisions, if you are already won even if small amount you should stop because casino really use AI it's hard to predict the next streak bet if you gonna win or lose. Some advise control yourself in gambling play for just having fun do not play gambling if are not ready to lose funds and do not treat gambling as source of income.

They arent organising false games, that would not be AI especially just unfair and manipulative with false accounting given for open game factors.    Beginners luck is better explained by somehow receives some good luck but presumes it might continue from lack of experience where as a player who has lost plenty would know better and possible take some or all of the winnings off the table.   The experience can be a negative as removing all winnings reduces the streak continuing where as blind luck helps the person who beats the odds and has no idea they are being so brave to continue the risk.
   Always take back your initial stake so you can play again, very much basic and then past that take more if you have been lucky especially as it wont be repeated often

Exactly, they don't have to watch the players play the game, and in the end, the casino will get all of the money. That will help them to reduce their work in the casino, and they can do another thing to promote and attract more players. Maybe the gamblers will develop the AI or algorithm that will help them to beat the house, but the casino will prevent that thing so the casino will still take the money.

The gambler always knows that there game is being read by someone else besides them and there is no way of proving this with their famous line of defence "they can't manipulate games" but we know the truth and AI is certainly at play! I have had this experience with blackjack, dice and many other games....the losing streak is my evidence :P
I remember the funniest line in my country when they lose.
"If they lose, the game is cheater. If they win, the game is so amazing!"

Doubting is good because it is just proving that we are an observer. But always doubting and blaming others to your loss is not anymore good. If you always blame the AI or gambling site itself, then quit gambling. Instead, pay attention to the one that you don't know a cheater.

Well, casinos do have codes or programs set up when a gambler plays but I don't think adding an AI would be necessary since with the present codes they have, the longer the gambler plays the closer it is to their house edge meaning a chance that the gambler will lose. I don't know if you have noticed that most of the time a new gambler plays, normally wins in the first few games but once he is hooked up and try to play longer they lose so that is why I think casinos will no longer go that extra mile just to rip people off.

Exactly. I don't know much about probability but it is said that the slots in physical casinos have their chances set so that every now and then one would give a payout, to encourage those in other slots to continue. Of course it's different with card games but if they want it to be realistic, they'd have to throw in a few "errors" in to make the AI realistic.

If people feel they don't have the slightest chance of winning (though to be fair they really don't have much to begin with), they won't play.

I believe most of the Casinos do have a player on the board. Be it an AI or a real person from the casino. As we don't know the identity of the person with the username, it could be anything. Casinos would have an unfair advantage if they place their person to play with their money as they can have stack of any money.

Exactly. I don't know much about probability but it is said that the slots in physical casinos have their chances set so that every now and then one would give a payout, to encourage those in other slots to continue. Of course it's different with card games but if they want it to be realistic, they'd have to throw in a few "errors" in to make the AI realistic.

Even there was a sign of AI on Truman Show and experienced gamblers can get the point if such case ever happens in any site. Virtual places can be manipulated easily with the help of various scripts, so there is no 100% trust. Audits even can be subject to the corruption and bribery facts are hidden. Only big ones are leaked to the media IMO.

Rather than integrating Artificial Intelligence it is good to rewrite the script in such a way to get additional edge when there is continuous winning streak with the user. The same is being done through the integration of artificial intelligence where the game will be observed and based on the winning it gets back an added house edge and will be fair.

I understand your point here. But it is never going to happen because this will cost a casino all its users. You just cannot win from AI if it’s on the other end of the table. Better go through the story of world champion Lee Sedol and vs. the AI robots AlphaGo and you will be surprised to know that the world champion could not win from the AL robot. So the casinos will not do that but can make use of AI in other different activities.

I believe most of the Casinos do have a player on the board. Be it an AI or a real person from the casino. As we don't know the identity of the person with the username, it could be anything. Casinos would have an unfair advantage if they place their person to play with their money as they can have stack of any money.

yes, I also assume that most casinos will definitely place their players to play, so that profits do not fully fall on gamblers but can return to site owners so they don't easily lose the capital they have spent and this method is so effective that casino sites can survive long

No, I don't think any casino would or could do that. Not even sure how would that would work. Even if it worked, people will eventually realize this since they will notice that every large bet they place is a bet they lose. It takes just few seconds for a serious gambler to know if a casino is rigged or not. And yeah, people can easily abuse this system once they get to know how the system works.

~They say AI can beat any player in poker, but I personally doubt it, and it would be very interesting to try to play poker with such a bot.

If the AI can destroy players at a game like Dota, why wouldn't it completely annihilate humans at a much simpler game, like Poker?
~

Maybe because poker is not a simpler game, or, I'd rather say, it's not a simpler game for computer. Bluffing may seem irrational from a computer's point of view, and the machine will perform it only if programmed to do so. But what a self-learning bot will be doing after several terrible outcomes of bluffing? Right, it will stop bluffing. But every good poker player knows that you can't win without bluffing in the long run.

OpenAI's Dota 2 bot defeated over 99% of all challengers, and they where one of the best pro players around. There are no doubts that AI can beat anyone in Dota in the end.

In January 2017 an AI called LIBRATUS beat 4 pro poker players after playing 120k games, and then later another AI, DEEPSTACK, beat 10 out of 11 expert human players after playing 45k games. And yet I think it is much less certain that an AI can beat a good poker player than that of Dota. There are more unique situations in a game of Texas No-Limit Hold'em than there are atoms in the Universe. There are 10 to the power of 160 outcomes for each game. There is no way even the most powerful computers could actually consider all of those possibilities, but even if they could, they would never know for certain whether an opponent is bluffing or not.

No its not complicated and its not also impossible for a casino site to use a.i and other systems just to make more money out of thier costumers  . will not notice it especially if we are not techy enough  because the site is composes by codes and other deep techy stuffs  but i think honest casinos wont really use those things because they only want to be fair  .  they knew that thier costumers will comeback if the costumers are happy and satisfied from their experience .

No, I don't think so because if they can have a good team to manage the website and they have the skill to integrate their system with the AI, I think that will not impossible. That will help them to set everything to run by itself and they only need to monitor the system and if something wrong is happening, the AI will tell them so they can immediately fix that.

That's what I suggested they could attempt to do. Let's say there's only 1 human on a table, they can have the AIs on various difficulty levels that makes it not impossible for the human to win.

Not only is the AI going to attempt to guess your moves, it's also way better at calculating the odds than you so yes, it'll definitely put the human player at a disadvantage. Seems like an overkill but I can see them attempting to use this in such a way that it wouldn't be obvious.

thats totally overkill! ripping the money of the gamblers at its best!
should be discreet otherwise, their area will be like a hunted one!

Gambling is all about random number generation, and provably fair scheme provides guarantees that casino doesn't cheat, but we also know that humans are horrible random number generators - we are very easily predictable.

There are many online demonstrations available, I'll just drop one here: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kms/schools/rps/index.php
After a small number of games, computer becomes quite good at consistently beating you at the game.

So, theoretically a casino can observe how you place your bets, then predict your next bets and make their own bets (they always go first) accordingly. The flaw here is if this algorithm is implemented too naively, it can be abused by players by making big amounts of predictable low-value bets, and then making a big opposite bet.
If AI can apply in real world gambling in which physical is in approach so what more in online gaming in which the program is involve?yeah 100% AI is in play for casinos to get more edge

In this random numbers involving it is.  MOre easy to apply artificial intelligence to beat the players and the house to succeed

If you weigh actual and digital casinos, definitely the latter is easier to manipulate especially with ai. These are computer programs that run online and digital casinos, so it's silly to expect that they can't be controlled. Though the risks to the gamblers are pretty similar because ai is mostly used to make profit for owners. The gamblers still lose money.

That's what most regular people think of online casinos, but, in fact, this is not the case from quite some time. You see, it's useless to have an AI which is analyzing users' behavior and can predict the next moves when you can't actually affect the outcome in any way. Because of the provably fair system casinos do not control the outcomes, period. What's the point of having an AI on your site if you can't affect the outcomes?

I think the casino will do something to prevent the gambler gets more winning. They will modify the AI to work as they want so they can control the game, and they still take the profit. Maybe we don't know how they can do that, but I believe that when it comes for the profit, the casino will do what they need to take a big profit in the short term or long term. The AI system will help the casino and the owner and make their work simple than before.

And what about if we use artificial intelligence against casinos? Will we beat them? Or it's just matter of task whether our AI beat their AI? No, there is no need of implementing artificial intelligence for casinos in order to make better profit. At first it will be 100% shown that you always lose on one casino which uses AI and have better chances on another which doesn't use AI, it automatically decreases trust of AI used casino. On another hand there is no need of AI because mathematically chances of casinos are always high and games are built that way, that's the reason why there is always house edge.

The longer a gambler play the higher chance that gambler will lose, imagine how many gambler's play everyday, with casinos house edges they don't need to cheat or do anything because in the long run they will win.

Exactly my thoughts and I see no need to bring in A.i. For an advantage because the house always wins most often. Imagine a regular gambler going up against an A.i knowing at every turn he Wil be beaten or will loose. It won't be great for the industry's overall progress because many will backoff totally.

We're to believe and play, the provably fair feature can really be implemented but the reality can't be examined. Always the casinos develop an algorithm that adjust with the winning made by the user. Here very lucky ones get out with a big win. As stated in a quote there is no big loss for the casinos. Maybe at times it provides with huge payout, but the same will be taken back if the player continues. This has taken place with me. I started with 0.01btc and after a week I turned it to 0.05btc further I was unable to earn than losing on majority of the picks. Finally ended with nothing in the wallet.
A game is a game! No one can overpass it. That is why many people are losing streak in gambling. Because we don't know how a certain gambling works. But whatever does a gambling has, we cannot do anything just to depend to our own luck. We cannot blame the site because gambling will not say that they are cheating their users in order to prevent a lucky player that wins their games.

I don't know what you believe but I still think that no matter what, these casinos will still be finding ways to put everything mostly in their favor so they wouldn't be the one losing the most. I don't think any of these casinos wants to end up going broke, cause you know for sure that if they do it is going to be an end of business for them and they are not going to be able to run their business any longer. So they will always do anything possible to remain in business. This is gambling, don't trust anyone.

AI can beat anyone on Earth in chess game, that's for sure, but with poker it is not so certain. I personally saw like a new poker site lost over 1 BTC because of using bots. Bots may be good against inexperienced poker players, but almost everyone who has played over 500 games will find a way to exploit it sooner or later.

And yet I agree with you that players should be warned that they are playing against a bot. The owner of the site I mentioned above was an honest guy, so he listed by name all the bots on his site.

This is not something new in the market. We had the first casino which used AI to boost its business back in 2018.
