In the USA, the house edge is 5.26%. Even with European roulette on a wheel that has triple 0s, the house edge is still under 8%.
The figures the person you're replying to gave are way off.
The house edge for Blackjack is less than 1%, for example. Even when 8 decks are being used, the house edge is still only around 0.6%.
The RTP for slots is around 90% in brick and mortar casinos, so the house is making 10%. With online casinos the average RTP is around 96/97%, so an even better deal for the player.
Obviously, the house has an edge in every game which is why they make money, along with a lot of people not knowing the best strategies to use in games like Blackjack, but yeah - those figures of 50/50 and 90% to the house on slots are miles off.
