Answer:
They don’t make a living from playing in casinos. Some poor people make a living from working in casinos. Some people who work in casinos lose most of their money by gambling, which is why they are so poor. Some poor people subsidize their gambling habits by cheating. They often frequent the “break-in” joints, where beginning dealers learn their craft. They look for dealers who are not yet skilled enough to protect their game properly. They also look for players who don’t know what they are doing. Sometimes they can claim one of their bets. Few are good enough at cheating to actually make a living at it.
Some poor people do count cards at blackjack. Few are good enough to actually live off of the proceeds. Counting cards is not illegal, but they don’t have to let you play if they suspect you are doing it. Casinos watch for card counters.
Some poor people play on slot machine teams. The teams look for a bank of slot machines where the progressive jackpot has reached the point where it actually becomes a good bet. That exact point can be calculated. When a player gets up, one of the team members grabs the seat. When another player gets up, another team member grabs the seat. Either the jackpot will hit, or the team will end up with all of the seats. Then it is a question of whether the jackpot will hit before the team goes broke. You have to be really, really good to get on one of the teams. You have to know what the best play is instantly, and be very, very fast. And there is always the danger that a small group of team members will rip off all of the other team members and leave them all broke. It’s a tough way to make a living.
