Some video poker machines actually have a higher than 100% payout. But they only have the higher than 100% if you make the maximum bet and they only pay very slightly above 100$ in that case. I don't think they are common. Progressive payout slot machines can have over a 100% payout for plays when the payout is above a certain amount, but overall they will have a positive payout to the casino, since they only reach a high enough jackpot after a large enough amount of money is lost to the casino, and as soon as the big jackpot is paid, they are back to having a less then 100% payout.
