Correct, they do not improve.  They decrease as it's a function of sample size.

For example, the probability of flipping a coin once and having it
come up heads is 1 in 2.  The probability of 5 heads in a row  is 1 in
32.  10 heads in a row is about 1 in thousand.

So the probability of "winning", given that winning is heads,
decreases as you stay at the table.
