The casino is covering a bet that is mathematically advantageous already, so no device is needed on their part.

  No they aren't. Plenty of casino technology exists to prevent gamblers from having an advantage with perfect, unassisted play. Dealers use automatic shufflers, for instance.

    The automatic shufflers are probably there to prevent dealers from being "on the take" to one of the players at the table.

    Continuous shufflers are used in low stakes blackjack to basically make card counting impossible.

    There is a difference between "perfect" blackjack play, and card counting. If a casino is willing to put themselves in a situation where a counter can succeed they deserve to lose every dollar they have, but using a continuous shuffle machine doesn't confer a greater mathematical advantage in a single hand than the casino would already have.

      If I was willing to play the slot machines without algorithmic assistance, I deserve to lose.
