Since nobody here is an experienced money launderer, we will never know whole process. If casinos are involved in money laundering, then both casino and money owner are involved. I think they have low risk. But, I dont think that casinos are good for money laundering. How I see the process, a person place bets, losses money, then win jackpot and withdraw and the money becomes more or less clean. An accidental gambler can win that jackpot either. And that is the moment when problem starts.

Yeah, a big uncertainty in scheme to use casinos for money laundry is always exist as one may end with tainted assets that were put into    casino's cleaning  "drum" by others. So it may require the use of many casinos to get the positive result  thus the whole procedure is not the  cost effective and one lose up to 50% or even more . Probably  only hackers could    treat oneself to such unalloyed luxury as to get half of their initial input.

this article: https://financialcrimeacademy.org/money-laundering-through-casinos/

Is an article that was published on December 4, 2024, Is a very recent article that talks in more detail about this subject of money laundering involving casinos, but in my opinion criminals would only be able to launder money if the casino had not made the wagering requirement of at least 1x mandatory. because I highly doubt that a person who stole 10 million dollars would put $1000 in some casino and have to play with the entire 1 million so that after winning more than 1 million they can withdraw it. money launderers want to launder all the money quickly. That is why in my opinion in crypto casinos the chances of people laundering money are very low.

The article you have posted is about money laundering in fiat casinos. Imo crypto and fiat casinos are completely different speaking about money laundering. Laundering in a casino already anonymous asset by anonymous address. That is already hard to identify a gambler. And that is why it is hard to answer OP question, because crypto can be laundered on the stage of purchase, and casino is used only as an intermediary, meaning casino is not even aware that they clean money. I would stick to idea, that casinos already earn enough, that they dont need to bother with money laundering anymore.
