"That's a good point, but taking advantage of a casino after a player asks the casino to help them cheat, and the casino obliges, is a much grayer area of morality than simply stealing stuff."

FWIW, the commenter wasn't referring to the morality of the practice. He mentioned what casinos would do, not whether it was right or wrong.

It's obvious enough what casinos actually do, I'm just commenting on the psychology behind it.

And given that the casinos are willingly taking this tradeoff, and that the losses aren't what I see as immoral actions, it then becomes rather nasty that the casinos are dragging people to court and putting them in jail for it.

In short: you and I generally work within the framework of the law and make tradeoffs accordingly. The casinos appear to be bypassing that and are bending or modifying the law so they don't have to make tradeoffs.
