Slotlady Channel

I like to see which games pay out a million coins, or 100's of free spins.

Is “sour” a common Canadian expression? Slot lady uses it a lot when she has a bad run, and she even used it here in one of her posts.

It is not. Everyone seems to have their buzzword or phrase, I'm guessing that's just hers.

I doubt it. I've been trying to get a casino to allow me to make table game videos and I ask for nothing else but permission and have never received approval.

Gotta play where filming is allowed. And, especially on tables, nobody else's play can be filmed so a private/reserved table is needed.

Bingo. She has commented on it a few times on her videos. The list of casinos where she's permitted to film is MAYBE three casinos long.

I think 3 is right for tables. I can name several more in Vegas that allow slot recording.

I think there are more that would allow her to film tables, but the music is too loud. She’s mentioned before how Plaza and/or El Cortez turn the music down for her when she’s live streaming to avoid YouTube’s copyright censoring technology. She said she couldn’t film tables at Golden Gate because the music is way too loud.

There are some content creators recently who have taken it upon themselves to create copyright-safe music for streaming and production. Harris Heller and his StreamBeats come to mind. I wonder if casinos would be amenable to playing copyright-safe music when someone like Sarah is filming.

The dealer has to deal to the beat and the player has to click chips in time with the music.

If a business plays music, they must pay a royalty fee. But you just subscribe to one of the royalty subscriptions and you are good. Go to a sporting event, and you hear the pa playing music, that arena or stadium pays. Juke boxes in bars have already incorporated the royalty fee into the machine. Otherwise if you just decide to pop in a cd without a subscription, you are in a copy right violation.

One might be able to play non-copyright music close to mic one is talking in to diffuse background music, but it would probably end up being irritating to the listeners.

True but why would any successful music artist do that? That is part of their revenue. If they sign with a record label, then they definitely can't. If you are a small time independent, then yes. But again, its going to be very difficult to get any airtime.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, there are some internet content creators who are taking on the task. They are either creating their own music, or paying others to do it and purchasing the rights to it, and uploading the music to Spotify, Apple Music, etc, where they get paid a royalty every time their songs are played. The creators are then white-listing the music on YouTube, Twitch, and other streaming platforms, making the music safe for other content creators to use without fear of a DMCA takedown.

Why are they doing it? As a service to content creators to help maintain the viability of the medium. They're not making a whole bunch of money off the music, but they're making a little bit. But DMCA takedowns threaten the streaming medium as a whole, especially as they talk about the penalties getting stiffer and stiffer.

I think it's also a bit of a loss-leader for those folks. VegasLowRoller credits his intro and outro music & links to the creators' pages. So no revenue collection for that usage, but if a viewer likes the song, they know where to go...

A music artist primarily generates income through three primary avenues. Sales of their music, not giving it away for free. Income from merchandise, again a copyrighted item containing their name, logo or likeliness and going on tour generated through ticket sales with the promoter.

Got to make a living. You either make it or you don't. A one hit wonder can only get you so far. I would say artists like Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffet and, bands like Metallica, Kiss who I have worked for touring the globe have done well in the music industry by choosing the correct paths when ot comes to business.

I never said I didn't believe you. Just illustrating that the average person is unaware that most music is protected through copy right laws. And these music played at business are subject to paying royalty fees. But yes, there are some artists who want to give away their content for free, but I would say they are just trying to get into business or simply a low level artist. Once you make a name for yourself, you need to protect your content, whether its through a record label, or whatever artists do these days.

Personal insult, bullying -- per the Martingale, 20 days.

This is personal to me as I like Sarah (Slotlady) and I personally welcome her participation on the forum. If anything, we should be more welcoming of anyone who isn't a white male, as almost all of us are on this forum.

So I want to address some issues that I feel are important to discuss, nearly from an informational perspective. Let me start by saying, I truly am not offended by Mr. Wizard's comment even though I find it racist. Judging someone based on their skin color is the epidemy of racism but I find it to be the most common form of racism due to ignorance. That being said, I am one of the very few people who have experienced this form of racism from 2 different sides my entire life. There have been countless kids that labeled me white, I can distinctly recall a group of black kids at my high school claiming that I owed them for enslaving their people & me having to explain that my people were also enslaved.

But the real irony is that the majority of my childhood I believed I was white because my mom kept my heritage from not just me, but my entire family including my stepdad. I can distinctly recall another group of kids asking if I was Mexican & telling them that I was white. They then said I looked Mexican & I told my brother & we both laughed without realizing there was some serious truth to their words.

So my heritage is a little complicated. I only met my biological dad, grandma & grandpa 1 time after being out of his life at the age of 5. They hired a private investigator to find me & I met them all 1 time at a sushi restaurant in Sacramento, even brought my girlfriend at the time. My dad's name is Rory Marrarow, my grandpa's name is Pete, & my grandma's name is Juanita. Pete & Juanita had been separated for over a decade when we met & Rory had to fly from Washington to see me. When I asked them to tell me about their heritage Pete got really shy & putoff from the question. Apparently, Pete is extremely embarrassed with his heritage according to my mom. But Juanita opened up with a story of her father.

Apparently he was a medicine man & Raindancer for the Apache Native American clan. He apparently road with Geronimo & when they lost the last war he followed Geronimo to Mexico because of something about the U.S. government going back on their word about granting Apache their own reservation. They apparently wanted the Apache to share reservations with other tribes & many Apache choose death over compromising to tyranny. Historically, apache often chose death over slavery but apparently, that's not the only reason why they have the lowest ancestors since they were the only Native American clan to have active bounties placed on their heads from not just the US but also Mexico. But also because half the Apache fled to Mexico after the war, only the Apache that chose to go to a shared reservation site became documented Apache & are the only Apache that are federally recognized today.

Juanita is an F1 Mestizo, her father was captured by Spanish settlers who invaded Mexico many years earlier. He would have been killed for the bounty reward if a Mexican had captured him, but he was forced into slavery my the Spanish. Apparently, it was a law that a kid would inherit his mother's status, so he had a child with her mother who was the sister of the slave owner (who was a merchant) so that his kid Juanita would have a free life. Juanita ended up meeting Pete while attending college in the U.S. & never returned to Mexico.

Now after Juanita spent maybe a half-hour explaining her story, Pete finally opened up and explained that something very similar had happened within his family. Apparently, his father was Puerto Rican & his mother was Mexican. The sad thing is, even he didn't know the full story of how his father made it to the west side of America. It almost seemed like he didn't want to know, like the information would cause him despair. What I do know is that it's very rare for any Puerto Rican to have excavated to the West but Pete's father was also a slave to Mexico & had a child to a Mexican mother who apparently they were in love. Pete grew up in Mexico with his mother & only came to the U.S. to study Business in college. He eventually became the largest district owner of Big O Tires which I think is impressive.

So here is my completed heritage for you to see. What's funny is my father was born in Argentina & to top it all off my family has been poor our entire lives so I definitely don't consider us your typical white family. There are still people that claim I'm white regardless of me informing them of my heritage. When I hear stuff like that I feel like racism doesn't even exist anymore & it's not skin color discrimination. What's funny is I am by far the palest I have ever been in my life yet I still can't produce tan lines or get pale lol. I am going to post a picture of me and my (half) brother, in the picture it's obvious as day that my skin color at least 3x darker than my brother & we are both under 5 years old so you can't say I just got a major skin tan at that age lol.

¼ Irish
¼ Mestizo (½ Apache & ½ Spanish)
¼ Scandinavian (½ Santosh & ½ Danish)
⅛ Mexican
⅛ Puerto Rican

Puerto Rican maybe?

Honestly, nothing really upsets me anymore except when it comes to math or game design skill (since I rely on them to make money, so it's like life or death to me). Don't get me wrong, my Native American Heritage is important to me because it was important to Juanita. She was angry at the Cherokee for not helping in the final wars & claimed that they got the best from the war by making trades with the settlers & giving a bad reputation to all the natives as all clans be "Indian Gives". I feel obligated to at least make some of the money that these "Indian" casinos are making and buy up some of the apache lands & even make a casino since I don't think I could get the federal government's help. But I think she would be proud if I made an attempt to reunite the tribe. Apparently some of the land is the death valley in California to Oklahoma.

Honestly, race has never been that important to me, but I do care a lot about Juanita. But I also care a lot about Shackleford so I don't mind being a white guy for him.

It's hard to really be offended for making racial assumptions when it seems like everyone does it :/ There are plenty of famous people that are labeled as just 1 race, maybe because it's just easy for people to only remember one thing about someone :'( Did you know Jim Hendrix was 50% Cherokee? But yet everyone just sees him like any other black guy 🙄

I'm curious, is that because skin color is all anyone sees to distinguish people???

Yes absolutely. Do you really need to ask this question? Why do you not know this??? DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE OF SOMEONE'S SKIN IS RACIST! Seriously, there needs to be a legitimate reason for why you are ever selecting someone based on their skin color, IDK maybe you're choosing black-skinned people because their skin can tolerate the sun better I guess that would make sense but then there is always sunscreen so it's really hard to even think of a legitimate reason because I can't. The sad truth is even people who are selecting specific races or skin colors as dating partners are racist and need to come to terms with it. I forget the Muslim but there is one that has two different paths for prejudice & non-prejudice & the non-prejudice path later merges into the prejudice path showing how everyone is prejudice. I feel bad that you really didn't know the answer to your question. I will gladly help in any way to close the ignorance gap so that WoV can become tolerant to new members.

P.S. When I start hiring for my company I'm just going to pick the best people for each job. I'm not going to care about your skin color, your ethnicity, your nationality, your religion, your gender identity, or preference. I don't care if my company is completely filled with white guys or Indian programmers who I get passports for ;)

So I have a lot of videos of my friend Keith & I playing California Roll, but in this particular video, it gets really personal (& I got embarrassed) as my friend explains how I responded to a police officer. I was surprised when he brought up that story as an example of his classification of racial personalities 😆

I read in the Las Vegas Review Journal that the Plaza is unveiling a new section of "Slot Influencer Slot Machines". I guess they hope the youtubers will drive customers to their casino. That is a pretty progressive thing for a casino to do. I admire them for trying it.

I'm watching Rick Beato rant
Rick's great if you like guitar rock
watch him and geek out for a while
he's mad about a copyright
strike on his youtube channel now
The Cars (or UMG) cried foul.
I guess free promotion is not

MY MOST EPIC COMEBACK EVER! THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTELY INSANE RUN! LIVE: BLACKJACK!! $1500 Buy-in!! - Slotlady
We'll pick up the action halfway in at 22:13 with a new shoe.
Slotlady grinds down her buy-in on $50 bets to her last $125. She bets $100 on one spot, wins, and starts progressing. She has a few winning streaks that let her progress her bets to over $500, and she could have cashed out with over $5,000 before the hour is over.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ankm-SY5-I&22m13s


LIVE: HIGH STAKES BACCARAT! $8000 Buy-in!! EPIC FINAL BET!!
Slotlady tries a really bad progression that only works when you're winning, not at a chop chop choppy table like this. But she had less than a handful of chances to increase her bets to over $1,000. She'd bet $200, then add $200 to her bet on each win. Sounds like a plan until you can't string 3 winning bets together shoe after shoe. Betting on Banker will raise the vig sky high, but if that's where the winning streak is, that's where you bet. This bet progression has huge opportunities for CTR forms & table maxes over & over if you get on some hot streaks though.

Yeah, lots of channels do. Slotlady's "sour", mg21's "holy bacon", ng's "show me the power of your bonus!". Some of that swag is fun-but-over-priced. It's different for Beato, though. Most of his videos get demonetized, with most of the revenue going to the copyright holder, so he relies more on the book and course sales.

Hey bud, welcome back! I'm not sure how seriously Rick gambles. He's mentioned going to casinos for concerts and barely making it to the showroom for the event. I don't think he has slot videos, but I think he'd be entertaining there. Maybe he could break down the music on the machines. But his info about payments for YouTube videos was interesting. $1,200/1,000,000 views is not very much. I'd like to think that I would earn more than $12 for making a video that 10,000 people wanted to watch.

The haterz arrive at above 10K views and I can't get Madonna-like security on $12.

Yes, the number for total YouTube revenue is appalling, especially when you compare the numbers of how much YouTube is making from ads :/ This is primarily the reason why my YouTube channel was not monetized, its not worth putting your viewings through ads for such little money. I think Rich would be excellent at analyzing casino music, believe it or not I'm a music composer myself with an album and several collaborative works. Rich has a great music theory background and could probably figure out all the tricks that casino music use to motive the players. I'd definably watch those videos ;)

I started watching Slotlady's videos a bit. Entertaining. I just saw she is taking a break. Good luck Slotlady, whether or not you decide to return.
