I feel you've completely missed the point with this, because of course it's robbing Peter to pay Paul, with the idea being you hope you are Paul.

But the typical gambler thinks these cheats and tips give them an advantage so they play more. If you use one of these cheats, it's simply stopping a win dropping in on a later spin, robbing Peter to pay Paul. But none of this is affecting the payout ratio. Expert players know this stuff and you see them 'fiddling' the machine and getting the payouts. Likewise, if you hold the cancel button on a gamble it slows down and makes it easier. After about 30 seconds the machine does 2 nudges on its own and you win the prize. The machine can be noisy but you just have to bear with it. Do 2 nudges, then wait and don't make that third nudge. For example, on the OXO machines that randomly hand out 3 nudges the prize is usually 4 nudges away, and players realised there's a cheat. Many fruit machines have cheats or bugs that facilitate a payout. Do the UK machines take large notes? When they got rid of restrictions on what the machines would accept it removed one of the big circuit breakers for players who would play these machines until their wages were eaten up. I'm not sure it's the same in the UK but in Oz these machines have destroyed so many lives.

This joke was unfortunately much nearer the truth. One of the other jokes we had was to refer to the pokies in the casino as “wages” – they took people’s to pay ours.

The line was a sort of gallows humour – an attempt to divert us from the grim task we were there to do – namely, take money from people, and make them feel good while doing it. He would often greet me by saying, “Welcome once again, young man to this international playground of the idle rich.” It was a standard joke the two of us had as we then looked around and saw no playground, and certainly no idle rich. He had started back at Wrest Point in a time when people would dress up to go to the casino, and the penalty rates for dealers were so outrageous that some used to work casual for half the year, then take the other half off skiing around Europe. When I was working in the Cairns Casino I’d often arrive on the floor to replace a guy who had been in the industry as long as casinos had been in Australia.
