Casino software

If possible try to install and run the casino with a normal, i.e. restricted user-account and not as administrator. If the casino software demands admin privileges to install/update/run, and if you’ve successfully configured your ninja-folder, then their software running as admin cannot automatically read your stealth drive(s) / folder(s) without physically taking ownership of the folder in order to gain access.
However most online casinos EULAs are notoriously vague when it comes to the measures they are allowed to take. The most openly discussed ones is looking in your browser history, or taking screenshots of your desktop. These are also both illegal in most countries but most casinos do it. For example in http://www.pokerstars.net/typeB_EN/poker/room/terms/ we see
5.6. You agree that PokerStars may take steps to detect and prevent the use of prohibited EPA Programs. These steps may include, but are not limited to, examination of software programs running concurrently with the PokerStars Software on the User’s computer.
Until you know you are competent enough we suggest that you avoid networks with high security awareness. That said there are much easier ways for casinos to flag you and it is usually has to do with player greed (for example long hours, fixed schedule to the second, no breaks).
An advanced step (not covered in this article) is to install/enable file/folder monitoring/auditing that will allow you to track anything that happens to your "safe" folder. Note that doing this would not stop admin/casino software from taking ownership but you’d have a record of the event and would be warned which is better than nothing.
