Given : Casinos attract inexperienced poker players bcoz on average these ppl lose money to the casino.
This is because of the inexperience player does not have sufficient skill at game to win.
ie Low experience lead to low skill which ultimately leads to losing money.

(A) There is always an element of chance when playing poker. - Too generalized a statement - Incorrect
(B) The probability of winning a game of poker increases with experience. - Since skill develops with more experience so does the chances of winning - Correct
(C) Casinos make extremely large profits. - Casinos making profits by attracting the inexperienced poker players is given in the premise. No info on other kinds of profits that casinos make - Out of scope - Incorrect
(D) Inexperienced players lose more money than they expect to when playing poker at casinos. - If the above statement is true, then there is a less chance of winning money in casinos by inexperienced ppl. Losing money to casino has nothing to do with the expectations of the inexperienced players - Incorrect
(E) All games played at casinos involve an element of risk. - Again a too generalized a statement to make - Incorrect

Hope this helps.
