AI has advanced a lot, so much so that in Hollywood things have become ugly, they are now able to make movies with current movie actors and with people invented by AI, that means that the academy could be affected or even destroyed, with AI in games of chance the only ones who would lose would be the casinos, because no one in their right mind would play against an AI that could take all their money and not let them win.
I know that the casinos stand more chance than gamblers in this case of AI use. In most movies that I have watched just like you spoke about it too, we can see that the information they try to pass is how AI is being favourable to some companies and we know that AI can be more helpful to casinos than gamblers.
Casino platforms directly use AI to gather information about gamblers. They already have an idea about gamblers' behavior through this AI. If they are defeated in gambling, do they become more greedy or do they stop betting, etc. The platforms secretly collect various aspects through AI. But as a gambler, I don't think there will be any benefit. The gambler can get a chart of what is happening in the game using this, but since there is no guarantee that he will get win through that, he cannot be expected to gain much benefit from using that AI. That is why only the platform benefits from using AI in gambling.
