Casinos make no representations that the odds are "random", and by that I assume that you mean that you have an even chance of winning a given bet.
Casinos are in the business of providing entertainment through games that sometimes allow you to win money.
If you put money into a PacMan machine, you don't get your money back either. You get entertained by playing the game.
If you go to a movie, you pay money that you don't expect to have returned. You pay for entertainment.
- cardiffspaceman 10y agoThe games are supposed to be "random" but the payout rules make the difference. In craps you get even money from bets on the pass line. But the chance you'll win such a bet is about 47% IIRC, not 50%. If you look around the craps table you'll see that the bet payouts don't match the odds of winning, and that's the vigorish for the house. When casinos host Texas Hold'em, they simply collect a vigorish from the pot. The casino is not otherwise involved in the poker hands.
