They make the rules! Plan and simple.

Keep in mind when you think of the gambler winning vs the house, you usually thinking of one gambler vs the house. IRL that is never the case. It is 1000s of gambler against the house. So even if 1, 2 ,10, 100 gamblers won this round, 1000’s more lost the same round.

Even if you take a very basic game of Blackjack, with none of the typical house rules. This is one of the most “even” odds game you can play. However, ff a player get a blackjack, he and only he wins. But if the house gets a blackjack, everyone player loses. So the house loves it if one lucky person is winning, so long as they attracts more people to come loose at the same time.
