On the one hand, “The house always wins” is a gambling expression that means that despite which amount of money a gambler can win, the casino will always win more. Royce, who was born in the streets, bets on hip-hop, but the non-street people from the industry are actually the ones that win.
On the other hand, House is used as in the House Nigga from slavery days which was usually the spoiled light-skinned slave that got to stay out of the field.

Rapper Ma$e returned to the business in 2004, after a five-year hiatus, with an appearance on Terror Squad’s “Lean Back remix”.

Ironically Mase appeared the next year in the video of 50 Cent’s single, “Window Shopper” in which 50 disses every rapper in this song (in the rough edit) saying:

Ja you’s a window shopper
Mad at me, I think I know why
Jada you’s a window shopper
In the jewelry store lookin' at shit you can’t buy
Joe you’s a window shopper
In the dealership trying to get a test drive
