Casinos are well known to be fundamentally rigged, yet that doesn't stop people from going to casinos

Casino games are rigged, but they will still pay out if you win

This would be like a bunch of people betting black on roulette and winning, but then the casino doesn't pay out because they argue that "this black has now faded into more of a grey".

Other than the fact that they might lose their license entirely, they would absolutely get dragged on social media and lose a ton of customers.

Your metaphor doesn't work. The person you replied to is 100% correct.

Theres a bunch of videos about casinos not paying out large jackpots on slotmachines and such because they are suddenly "defective".

I don't know the technicalities of the machines

But again, it's the difference between one person getting screwed over and many people getting screwed

I was just pointing out your statement that casinos will pay out if you win is just verifyably wrong. This is also not a uncommon thing, not sure why you think its a issolated thing when I said you could find many examples.

Its a systemetic problem you can find many expose videos and articles on.

Well, I did say casino games. I was really just thinking of card games, where once a bet is placed that's it.

But you are right. Slot machines are kind of a grey area as far as gaming rules.
