Maybe the Casino's rationale is that they want the jackpots
to go to the non-pro to encourage more of them to come back.
Just like at the Carnival, they want some winners, otherwise
nobody will throw a baseball at the lead bottles to try and
win a pink elephant.
One would think a smart Casino would find a way to let
the pros have ther 1%ish edge, and still make money off
of teams and pros.
I also think they are super stupid about banning people.
If you are going to 86 someone, throw them a party!
Have the pit boss comp him one thing and the Host
comp them another and put their picture on the wall.
Give them a T-shirt that says, "I was 86'd at the Wynn"
or whatever. You could have a lot of fun with this kind
of thing, still keeping the Casino's options open.
I thought the days of hiring thugs and cops who were
fired for bullying and dishonesty were over.
Hey, let's buy an abandoned Casino and make it
work our way.
That's the question of the day:
Can a Casino have advantage games on their
floor and make money off of them?
The Corrollary would be:
Can a Casino make more profits with advantage
(full pay - sorry) games than without them?
So if it was your Casino and you needed to pay your
staff and put your Children through College...
how would you do it?

The large jackpot that is banked, has to eventually go to a player, so it's not the casino's money. The casino still profits on the subsequent action. Teams give a lot of action, when the jackpot is big enough. The casinos don't make anything off a machine that sits idle.
