So, I once heard from a friend a quote.

"All banks have either been hacked and they about l admit it, or they've been hacked, but they haven't admitted it."

So I'm wondering if this is the same case with gambling sites, and would you trust one that has admitted they've been hacked, or one that keeps it quiet?

If you have money in the right casinos(assuming you are talking about investment based ones) , then most of them offer an address where most of the coins are stored to prove solvency. If they get hacked it would become evident.

As for the trust, its a personal choice, I don't trust either as a casinos can simply claim to be hacked and leave out users with nothing, on the other hand they could be running insolvent(maybe after a hack) which again would mean users will not receive their money that they invested.

This is the truth. The same deal with exchanges. Poloniex was hacked but the admin slowly paid back every single user that lost funds because of it. Funds were insured.

Bitcoin casinos might keep small hacks quiet; but they usually have to tell the public about major hacks as it may affect their users.
Their users are bound to notice the hacks after a while, and that might make them lose trust in the casino. The best thing to do is to tell the public and to handle the situation professionally; don't leave them in the dark.

It depends on which one, and how they handle it. But I tends to trust the one who claims the hacks and manages to calm down the users and investors. They takes necessary measures to fix their bugs and pays out the withdrawal request, and are transparent.

I would rather trust one that admits it because it would show that they are honest. (As long as they don't turn into a scam)
If you can't trust a site with being hacked, maybe you can't trust it with other stuff.

There is two scenarios gambling sites admitted hacked.

1. They gonna turn scam by claiming hacked and can't refund users money there.
2. They are really get hacked, usually they keep quiet to make customers feel safe and they solve it as soon as possible, once a customer curious ask is everything ok they admitted hacked. But act professionally by calming down users etc.

As long as they can explain everything very clear and we don't have any problem to gamble, it's ok they admit it or not .
