Perhaps I didn't explain myself very well. The "house percentage" that is the slightly favourable odds the casino enjoys on every game means over the long run the players can not win. If I offered to flip a fair coin - each time you won I gave you $10 and each time you lost you gave me $11 dollars - you would probably tell me no. Even if I sweetened the deal and said every time you get 6 in a row I will pay you a forty dollar bonus and everytime you get 10 in a row a $1000 bonus - you would probably say no. Yet every day people line up under similiar circumstances to give their money away. My point is - keep out of casinos unless playing poker. You were correct all these games are "rigged," not in the sense they are fixed and are cheating - they have simply created gambling conditions where the player over the long term can not win.
