Slotlady Channel
i think 10min is the sweet spot.Quote: ChumpChangeThey get paid by minutes too. A 3 minute video that gets a million views doesn't get paid as much as a half hour video that gets a million views. I've got my AdBlocker on so if I watch 10,000 videos, nobody gets paid anyway.
thus why alot of these casino videos have them driving in their car to the casino to pad the time to 10min
wait.. you bought slot machines?Quote: smoothgrhSide note on slot channels: they're great for the slot collectors community and for those interested in the history of video games.
I've bought a few slot games after watching videos from guys like VegasPlankton and RandomSlots.
But Slotlady is by far my favorite channel for both documenting games and feeling like I'm there at the table/machine.
didnt know that was possible?
so you can run your own slot parlor?

At that level advertisers may deal directly with a YouTuber. Hold up product or wear name of it on hat or t- shirt. Just guessing though.
Perhaps these YouTube appearances are part of their social media/advertising strategy? Nice to see they have the liberal Field bets.
I was able to watch only one point/seven out.

Already unlisted, lol. Honestly I only watch her for her strange personality and the fact hardly anyone else is betting in the casino at her size except for Slot Massacre and a few others.

Yeah, I can see where being a slightly-somewhat more attractive than average woman can provide a media advantage when it comes to a niche. I don't see what advantage that's going to provide someone as a general channel. You'd have to be flat out, drop dead, HOT for that to move the needle at all.
Anyway, yeah. Good move. If she's not going to do slots, then she should just ride the slow wave down to nothing as far as her main channel's views go, but no reason to make that happen faster by creating a new channel.
I'd be interested in her reasons for quitting the slot videos. If she would like to be interviewed and happens to see this, then she could PM me. I'd entertain an interview for an article, but I'm probably not interested enough to actually be the one to reach out. (Actually, she's a member here, technically, so this could be considered my attempt to reach out)
She said it had nothing to do with gaming losses but did throw the fact that her last trip to Vegas was particularly bad.
She got a following quickly because she has “eye candy” qualities. Frankly, her messages were littered with come ons, date offers, beautiful, yada yada. Creepy in some respects. She parlayed her looks and personality into subscribers. Kudos.
She’s doing….what now? Alternative channel as in some kind of “personal development” channel…?
Quote: TDVegasShe looked exhausted in her sign off video…as if to say between covid, Canadian restrictions, gaming losses, she burned out. Possibly burned out having to play slots 700-800 times per year. My guess is all these slot channel players are basically gambling addicts and they found a way to monetize a part of their play. I highly doubt the money made covers losses and makes income.

I don't know. She created a new channel, but it appears that she has 86'ed it already.
The, "Eye Candy," is exactly my point. Does she have, "Eye Candy," by the standards of slot Youtubers? Sure. Did Sarah Palin (not a political commentary) have, "Eye Candy," as far as politicians go? Sure. When you take them out of a niche and put them in a general crowd, they remain attractive, but are no longer remarkably so.
I do say kudos to her. It's not her fault for having that as an angle and it's tough to blame anyone for---if not working that angle---tolerating that angle being worked. There are definitely people out there who preferred her channel to others because of her looks. Probably not the majority of her subscribers, but certainly some.
It's not for me to speculate whether or not she had a gambling problem, but any revenues (if not sufficient to make it positive) definitely partially offset the -EV from playing slots to at least some extent.
Anyway, I wish her all success in anything else she decides to do. She'd occasionally play slots where learning how that particular slot worked, or harvesting free data, was of use to me, but that's the only reason I ever watched.

Try more makeup and a good wig, and try it out. I'll definitely read that article. : )

No question in my mind she knew her good looks helped. She is super cute, super sweet. No issue with how she developed a following. The downside is it attracts a bunch of people as I mentioned. Good with the bad.
Yes, my guess is it definitely offsets losses. How much is an unknown. A couple claim to have quit their jobs to only play slots. I’m skeptical one can make a living at it. Most of them, like the big jackpot, have made enormous money in other endeavors, probably a few with trust funds or family money and some who have outside, regular jobs.
I don’t think they are all addicts in the sense that it’s creating a problem. I just think they are all addicting to gambling and likely have the wherewithal to lose 10’s of thousands and more. NG slots plays twice a day, claims he spends hours putting together content each day….and claims to run a few businesses. Honestly, I’m doubtful, especially since he casually mentioned (by mistake) “family money”.
Sarah or Lady Luck…no idea what their true story is or background.
I applaud Sarah’s initiative in branching out beyond slots…I’m just not sure into what.

Very nicely played! That was hilarious!
The question is: Would I have to shave my face? I'm going to draw a hard line at losing my beard.

I guess that's kind of like saying that the downside creates itself by virtue of the upside.
In any event, choosing a high-limit slots entertainment provider based on gender/looks probably says more about the viewer---especially as it relates those viewers who would make inappropriate comments in the first place.

I should think that's mostly a safe assumption, but I guess you never know. Maybe it all works out to slightly +EV when you consider offers and the like. Maybe they are unsure, but think it will eventually work its way to the positive, but then that fails to happen.

I don't know what the channel was going to be about. As I understand it, there was only one video that discussed the new channel's intention (which was linked here before and (I assume by her) that video was deleted). I watched perhaps fifteen seconds of that video and do not remember what was said.
In any event, I'd just keep the Slotlady channel, or rebrand it, and hope to hold subscribers from your current base rather than trying to compel them to subscribe to a new channel, or what have you. That way, you're at least going to show up in their Youtube feeds.

n auction house I dealt with in Vegas got a large shipment of prom dresses in a few weeks before prom season. For two days they had a cute young female employee hanging outside with a sign advertising them. Almost a zero response. They put a fat bearded guy in one nd within an hour, it went near viral on social media and sold a couple dozen dresses.
Keep the beard. We're all going to be wearing masks fulltime soon anyway.
She always admitted to Gaming losses.
These popular Youtubers can easily make $50,000 a month. The most popular can make several HUNDRED THOUSAND a month.
Quote: AlanMendelsonMy guess is her YouTube channel was very profitable and easily surpassed her gaming losses.

The ones with millions or tens of millions of subscribers can bring in big bucks.
I’m not buying it for the slot channels who average 100,000 to 250,000 subscribers. This is the video for Lady Luck below. Either someone is lying, someone has GROSSLY underestimated the data or someone has NO CLUE how to calculate what these slot players make off YouTube. Could be a combination of all 3 as I’ve seen varying estimates that diverge WILDLY. She claimed in a video upwards of $40,000/month. Others say not even close.
Lady Luck. 170,000 subscribers. The analytics in the video say about $85,000 per year.
This girl is gambling $25,000 easily over a weekend and logging 1,000 plus sessions per year. At $50, $75 and $100 or more bets….IMO, no way is she “easily surpassing” her losses unless she’s the luckiest slot player ever created.
Slot Lady plays lower stakes and has the same subscribers….so I give her some chance to break even.
Lady Luck analytics in the video. Where is this $50,000/month coming from when the estimates are $7,000?? My other understanding is youtube takes 45% of your revenue. How is that factored into the numbers?

She claims she quit her job to play slots full time. Unless she’s saddled with a huge trust fund or is sitting on millions from somewhere…I question her claim she can be “slot profitable” with a YouTube channel.
Quote: TDVegasMy guess is someone like Lady Luck, NG slots and the Big Jackpot are playing 750 sessions per year and running a bet handle of $3 to $5 million per year. Playing 90% RTP….that’s anywhere from $270,000 to $500,000 in losses. Barring a huge progressive jackpot, no way they are recouping.

Lady Luck and her husband posted a video last week about investing $1 Million in some new cryptocurrency. I suspect they invested early in bitcoin and have used that to fund their gaming.
I was a minnow.
Youtubers can get up to 50% of the ad revenue.
Quote: MDawgIf it's not profitable to continue the future gambling play youtube videos, don't youtubers who quit still generate revenue from past content?
Yes they make money from past content but there's an earnings curve. Older videos just aren't viewed as often.
I have videos that are ten years old that still might get a view or two.

I was looking at one channel where a male/female couple have made videos for several years. I know they have these software systems so one person can sit there and do close ups, and other aids to not having a camera person. Then I learned they actually employ 4 people working, doing editing, adding in clips, fx and so forth. I think they had 500k subscribers. They're basically just doing a commentary channel, mostly silly.stuff.

You can have tens of thousands of followers just recording with your cell phone and making simple edits with YouTube's software or have no edits at all. Or you can have a production staff.
I had my TV show video editor post my videos on YouTube and he of course edited everything. But that wasn't necessary.
Rather than go into detail here, anyone can PM me to discuss the fine points of YouTube. It takes time. But it can be very profitable if you have a system of production and a "channel" that catches on. And it takes work. It's not just point and click money making.
I'm talking to someone now who has a very good idea for a YouTube channel that could be a money maker. COULD BE are the important words. He's going to have to work it. That's WORK it.
It is non gambling.
Quote: ams288Looks like she is back to doing slot live-streams. I see she has one scheduled for tonight.
I don't know if she's ever talked about the patron thing. But I think such a system can be fraught with issues. Too many loonies for one.
Plus another $30K per month from Facebook.
Quote: TankoAt the time of this video, Lady Luck had 120K subscribers and monthly YouTube revenues over $38,000. The details begin at 5:00.
Plus another $30K per month from Facebook.
Independent “audits” of her YouTube channel peg the monthly income at around $7,000.
Someone is either lying or has no clue what she makes or she is misrepresenting the amount. The discrepancy is too large.
Quote: rxwineI watch most of her new slot video, and after awhile I was curious how much she made from the superchat donations. Seemed like a pretty decent haul. I still would like to know but don’t want to watch it again.
I knew YouTube took a cut of superchats. Just googled and it looks to be ~30%. That’s pretty hefty.
I liked her table games videos although the huge bets on sucker bets must have cost her $50-$200 in expected losses per video. Some of the latter videos she was betting really heavily. Probably have to keep upping the bets to keep viewers engaged and have click bait titles.

I suppose it's still better than old style record company contracts, where they tie a band into years long contracts with little upside. But then, their talent source is not very reliable or consistent, so there's not much reason to. Still...vampires are alive and well, IMO.

Some people must find $5 of value in having someone fake laugh at their mildly humorous joke or wish them happy birthday.
These are likely the same people who pay for the newsletter so they can be invited to book a cruise with the celebrity or attend a local meet & greet.

My guess is the supermajority of these slot you tube personalities were wildly wealthy before they started their channel. The Big Jackpot (Scott Richter) was known as the spam king. Probably has a net worth of $25 to $50 million….and people are donating money to him…to play slots.
He’s also a convicted felon for financial fraud.
People send him money. I’ve seen super chats as high as $200.
Comical.

Covid-itis
A global pandemic causing death, destruction and upending our normal way of life for 16 months now that causes depression, anxiety and morose behavior among normally happy people. Covid-itis.
Quote: ChallengedMillyHonestly she's seemed morose for months before she took a break. She wears her true personality on her sleeve at times and she seems like she doesn't enjoy playing like she did at the beginning.
She's acknowledged that she has lost money playing but I dont think she ever mentioned her YouTube income EXCEPT to say she's a "full time YouTuber."
Dont feel sorry for her. She rakes it in.
Rakes it in, perhaps, but at what cost? I have no idea what kind of deals she has going on, but if you are playing high level -EV slots you are going to get your ass kicked.Quote: AlanMendelsonShe's acknowledged that she has lost money playing but I dont think she ever mentioned her YouTube income EXCEPT to say she's a "full time YouTuber."

And then there are possible addiction issues.
Is she playing while the cameras are off?
Is she calculating her expected losses and figuring out if she is actually making money in the long run?
If she was raking it in, and all was good, one has to wonder why she stopped in the first place and now why she started back up.
