Ordinarily a player who has keen eyes to spot "defects" or irregularities and use these inherent markings to guide him to play and win is still considered as "cheating"? Does it mean that if casinos can not beat a player and especially they win is "cheating"?

Casinos has been license by the gov everywhere and all knows that they have the "house advantage", this is not cheating but a business as usual?

Never played in any casino - not even the slot machines or lottery.

Guess the gov license them to win so they can tax them. Some countries in central Europe takes up to 90% for taxes. In Uk you can read the big 3 operators closing some operations - "not viable anymore" with the increase in taxes. Borgata has been successful because their revenues and profits are from non gaming operations.
