I assure you, this is not a game where “the only winning move is not to play”, in spite of whatever your domestic politicians are feeding the population.
Call me a buzzkill here, but my bet is you aren't gonna hit it big. While you can win at the casino, that requires a careful plan with contingency solutions, which AI simply does not have. Realistically speaking, it is indeed best to just not play this game; you are just digging a deeper hole.
