The following, from the owner of the heavily moderated thread and the owner of the casino respectively, are what they seem to not be wanting attention drawn to:

Money was 'won' [...]which resulted in the bank temporarily running a negative balance. The computer (as programmed) immediately went to work on building the balance again which resulted in this scenario.

The casino pays out of a pool of money that has already been lost. The program is designed to always maintain a positive balance. I'm sure you can make sense of it from there.

When the game draws a hand, it checks if there is enough funds in the prize pool to cover the win, if there isnt it will make you lose.
 
If you win 98 points, it means somone has lost 100 points

Basically, if the house has lost a lot recently they fix the results so that they win it back.  "it will make you lose".
