But if they just want to mine what would amount to months of tape, I'd be pretty surprised if the casinos were willing to turn over the tapes.
Casino's #1 priority is $$$$. If someone is manipulating games to affect the win/loss situation of any bettable event, they'd certainly be interested in getting it resolved. The over/under, odds, etc. are set to maximize the money the casino makes (statistically) If someone is messing with the events, the casinos make less.
