Wrong, very wrong way to think about this. First off let's see what he's been charged with. He's been charged with hacking a slot machine and NOT cheating at the casino. Cheating at a casino is a felony in Nevada. What does this tell you? It means that the casinos realize that this fellow isn't cheating but they aren't happy with him so they're trying to hurt him as much as they can. Check out "Cheating(casino)" at wikipedia and you'll find that Advantage play is legal. So counting cards is a legal thing to do. Most casinos have developed advanced techniques to prevent this. Even then, at the end of the day if you do somehow manage to win all the time and there's no apparent way that you're doing this then getting a lifetime ban from the casino is probably the worst that will happen to you.

Second an ATM is NOT a slot machine. It's designed to give you exactly the money out of your account or allow you to deposit some cash for simplicity's sake. If an ATM machine was more a gaming machine then it would randomly give you different amounts of cash. Let's say you have $5 in your account and it randomly gives you $2 or $10. Would it be cheating if you figured out how to get the machine to always give you $10?

Finally, this is a game of chance. If you setup a game where you play against a friend and you've rigged it so that you mostly win. Is it cheating if your friend finds a flaw in your system and ends up beating you instead? No that blame lies entirely in you. You setup the game and lost, fair and square. A casino should be able to properly setup their slot machines. If they can't then it's entirely their own fault.

Frankly the smart thing to do would've been to lifetime ban him from the casinos. Let him keep his money and to fix the machines.
