This technique is known in gambling and was used by a team of players to break the bank in Monte Carlo many, many years ago on the roulette table. Its one of the reasons table limits are in place. Even so, casino games are in favour of the house. You will lose if you play long enough. You might get lucky and get ahead early and then stop but any long term player will lose.

Removing the limits does not change the odds into your favour. It simply allows a person with unlimited bankroll to stay in long enough to cash out when they are (finally) ahead.

iro the program on the travel channel that TommyT refered to: Any advantage an "expert" player can extract from a machine (or any casino game) will quickly be arbitraged out of existence. The reason is obvious: assume that an advantage can be gained by an "expert" player. What would happen? Well, expert players would converge on the casinos and start making money exploiting this "edge". Casinos would start losing money on that game. They would then either discontinue the game or, more likely, change the program payout conditions to remove the edge. For a pratical example of this - many casinos now employ continuous resuffle shoes to deal black jack cards. No point in card counting since all cards in a multi deck shoe are reshuffled for each hand.
