a safe bet for security
this way you have the important word "security" in the slogan - since this the important play with words in the German version "mit Sicherheit ein Gewinn"

Comment: "thanks! Very tough to decide who to give the points to, but this one is the one I went with - getting safety and security into a snappy headline did it for me!"

Secure systems for safe profits
IMO you definitely need security/secure in there somewhere.
I'm not too happy with "safe profits" - but it is about casinos, after all.
There must be loads of other options, however ...

- Making sure only the right people break the bank
