The casino cuts of rake on every pot they play. So if they have an x ammount of money on the table, assumming they break even on play, the casino is eventually gonna have all of their money.

The casino is actually risking nothing and it's guaranteed to win everything. Is that correct?

Wrong.

If the players have a good day or hit jackpots or something, the casino has to pay them. But in poker they don't risk anything.

Yes.
