As long as you (or in this case, the casino) is playing a game with an edge, there's never a reason to stop play based on the recent results. A positive expectation is a positive expectation, regardless of the short-term noise.

Another example - in recent years, roulette tables have had electronic displays showing results of the last 10-20 rolls. Not infrequently, you see 5-10 reds (or blacks) in a row. People run up to the table to bet the opposite color, because "it is due." Total BS. An independent trial is an independent trial.
21forme, I am wondering if you have (or there is a list) of reasons on why (or when) to end a session. Like

1. To maintain longevity
2. Suspect interest from pit starting.
3. Running short on session bankroll
4. Won a lot in short time
5. Not your day, losing every max bet today..
6.
