A good analogy, but the point where it breaks down is that the players at the table are being bankrolled. Sure there is a certain amount of side-betting that goes on once the player is given a stack of chips to play with, but those chips he's playing with are not his own - nor are they in control of the dealer (i.e. the employees).
Are you talking about shilling (as a participle, not a monetary unit)? If so, let me assure you that when I was sitting at 3rd base at that table, the money I was playing with was most assuredly my own. (And since I play Basic Strategy, which was realtively unknown in Europe at the time, you can also be assured that many side bettors didn't particularly like how I played...until they started making money on my play).
Of course, shilling is a time-honored tradition in casinoes; one must always be aware of that. I suppose that is also the case in the bizznez analog, where we're seing (more and more) indictments of brokers shilling a certain stock only to get kickbacks from the comapny involved (can you say "Enron"?...I knew you could...)
