I absolutely *do* believe that it happens. The site I play is on is famous for dealing multiple pocket pairs. As a general rule of thumb, if you have pocket 8s or lower, maybe consider paying to see the flop, but if you don't get a set, toss 'em because it's almost guaranteed that someone at the table will have 9s or higher. This isn't just a once-in-a-while thing either; this is literally almost EVERY time pocket pairs are dealt. It's no big secret, pretty much everyone that has spent time playing at this site knows about it, and bets accordingly.
Some casinos do NOT use cash for the slot machines. You buy tokens. True, not casino "chips" that are played on the tables, but still more than capable of having a RFID tag inserted.
