Illegality depends on the specific wording of the appropriate statute. If a statute is poorly written or ambiguous, a defendant may be acquitted even though most people believe that what he did was "illegal".
Immorality depends on one's personal code of ethics. To a vegetarian, eating meat may be immoral. To a meat-eater, not so much.
Cheating may be illegal, immoral or neither. Cheating on one's taxes is illegal but many people don't seem to think it is wrong. Cheating on one's spouse is not illegal, but most people believe it is wrong. Playing vp with a cheat sheet (strategy card) is not illegal and even the casinos don't seem to think that it is wrong.
Nestor and Kane are alleged to have asked the casinos to enable the double-up feature on machines that did not have the feature enabled. The double-up feature was an essential ingredient that allowed them to take advantage of the flaw and reap payouts that were ten times larger than their actual wins. Illegal? Who knows? But it should be no surprise that casinos will do everything in their power to convince the authorities to prosecute anyone who tries to do this.
