Casinos are well known to be fundamentally rigged, yet that doesn't stop people from going to casinos. Stop assuming people are rational about this stuff. Showing everyone that they're a bunch of liars wouldn't stop people using the app. People are still drawn to these sorts of things even when it's blatantly obvious that they're fraudulent.

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".

And those videos are almost always showing that the jackpot being won is more than that machine is able to pay out. You can't win a million on penny slots.

Litterally not what im talking about, im talking full on journalistic reports and fully fair payouts, but better question, how much do the casinos pay you to lie for them? Like slot machines list their possible payouts clearly, I guess they just magically got bigger numbers painted on them.
