There are actually very few people with pentesting skills at Defcon stronger than running burp suite, and fewer still of those that are blackhats. Those with skill can do very well for themselves legally, and know better than to risk their careers getting caught messing with casino systems.
In practice the biggest abuse from Defcon to the venues is in the form of a subset of people constantly defacing casino property which no one reports because no one has sympathy for casinos.
My favorite trolling of casinos at Defcon is the people dumping prop money everywhere. Casinos do not -like- that and spend a lot of resources running around picking them up which is funny to watch.
