Almost everyone that I interview says they have played a lot and know the game very well. This is normal and the interviewer will not think of you as a degenerate unless you put that spin on it yourself. You should absolutely point out that you have a lot of experience playing and by nature you are very rules aware. Just use the fact that you've played a lot as a tool for how much you know about the games and how you can calculate payouts and whatnot very fast. Don't use the word gamble. I prefer someone that is a player over someone that is not if all other things are equal.

I'm very quick with numbers and counting out chips.
I would state the above and leave it at that, no need to go into more detail unless asked. Also, see reducto's post. Good stuff there.
