Nickel Slots 7%-12% $7-$12
Quarter Slots 5%-10% $5-$10
Dollar Slots 2.5%-6% $2.50-$6

Many more games are listed.
This info is from the American Gaming Association. Were the casinos required (by the casino control comm.) to post this info--I can't imagine that they would "voluntarily" want to tip the public off to "real" loss info.
I don't see why they wouldn't. People should know what the House Advantages are on the games they play. Some are much worse than others.

Anyway, these numbers are readily available online and in many publications.
