That's entirely unrealistic.

No slot machine pays out 95%.

95% every pull, no. But over long periods of time, that's about what most machines pay out.

I'm mostly joking, but it's closer to 90%

According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, $1 slots pay out an average of 95 percent of receipts. (25 cent slots pay back an average of 93 percent, 5 cent machines: 90 percent.)
