This is not cheating. This is no different from Baccarat players at the Golden Nugget or Trump Taj Mahal in AC taking advantage of unshuffled cards put into play by mistake by the casino. It is not the responsibility of the players to protect the casino just as at the poker table it's up to each player to protect their own hands from being exposed to other players.
The Golden Nugget bought Video Poker machines warranted by the manufacturer to be programmed properly. The players pushed buttons on the machine in a manner intended or allowed and the fact that they found a combination of buttons is no different from a player putting together a combination of button pushes on a Nintendo fighting game like Mortal Combat to knock out an opponent. If the casino did not intend for such a combination of button pushes to be allowable they should not have put these machines into play or done a better job of quality control. The casino has recourse for their losses but it's against the game manufacturer not the player.
If anything the casino should be thanking these players for playing these games so aggressively. I would not be surprised if others knew about this weakness and have been milking it, below the radar, for many many years.
