English term or phrase: to break the house

izraz koji verovatno znaci dobiti ogromne pare i "razbiti kasicu" kockarnice, upropastiti ih. Posto nisam kockar, da li postoji ekvivalentan izraz u sh?

Prica Kinez koji drzi kockarnicu i koji savetuje kockare da ne prenagljuju...

All over the world everybody wants to win and this is human nature. You’re
a foreigner ..you may not understand. Especially the Chinese, it’s in their
blood to gamble so that is the reason why I put up many signs of warning in my Casino and urge people…please don’t dream of breaking the house. It’s a
house game ..take it only as a pleasure and bet only what you can afford.

oguliti

Explanation:
To znaci dobiti toliko love da kockarnica ne moze da ti isplati pun iznos.
Z. Kovacevic daje "razbiti banku" za "break the bank". Pa ti vidi.
