Quote: ams288I always got the impression she’s not into guys, if you get my drift. Once someone left a superchat with a message along the lines of “the LGBT community loves you!” and Sarah’s response gave me the distinct impression that she is a member of said community.
I could be totally wrong though and this is in no way intended to be an insult towards her!
My so-called "gaydar" is pretty non-existent anyway, but it's even weaker when it comes to women who are closer to looking like Portia de Rossi than Ellen.
She doesn't know how to play UTH very well, or at least made some mistakes, but she did win.

My guess is no. I’m pretty sure she has a boyfriend. I think he was on one of her table games videos a while ago. Obviously things could change. I also don’t know if she’s dragging him to Vegas every time she needs content.
She’s very polite to everyone as far as I can tell. Haven’t watched her in a while but have been hearing “sour” comments thats she’s not in a good mood.

She obviously gets permission. She usually “sells” where she plays and the El Cortez is her go to place. They probably like the publicity and are willing to give her a table for a while.
Is she at least playing sound basic strategy on blackjack?
Quote: MrVDoes she count?
How is her mastery of basic strategy?
No she doesn’t count.
She uses a basic strategy card.

Count? I doubt they would ever let her count.
Honestly it works, if I'm ever in Vegas next year I'm likely going to head straight to two places. El Cortez and that 'newish' one Circa Circa(?) to check them out, based on Slotlady and a few of the other videopoker youtubers. Of course then I'm hopefully going to smarten up and run away to off the strip to find the better machines and table limits, lol.Quote: TDVegasShe obviously gets permission.

Quote: ChumpChangeShe tips at the end after she colors up.
Almost all the dealers prefer their tips to be in action vs just a guaranteed toke after a hand or session. Not sure what the reasoning is as house always has the edge in most cases. Why not take the guarantee?
She plays games she's bad at because she makes more money from the youtube videos than she loses for travel + time + actual losses + etc.Quote: ChumpChangeShe's got a $1,000 buy-in of Blackjack tonight. She usually plays for an hour because I guess that's either all that will fit on her memory card or all the time the casino will let her reserve the table for. What would a reasonable win goal for a $1,000 buy-in be within 1 hour of play time? She says she has horrible luck on blackjack and may discontinue playing the game (so why is she playing again?). She usually has a $50 base bet and will play 1 or 2 spots, but I think she has a $1500 or $2000 buy-in at that level. I'd set a win goal of $2,000 on a $1,000 buy-in for a 1 hour of play, but I could go over.
If I had a successful youtube I'd be cranking out content left and right, especially playing newer games. Don't they test some games at El Cortez? Even if not, I'd be working with whatever casinos that do test new games frequently and going apeshit trying to get the casino more views on those games. Also would drive this forum for a nice spike in content as people analyze newer games for any holes/flaws/interesting dynamics.

My experience was they would rather take the guaranteed money vs. in action. If every dealer preferred “in action”….dealers would make less money. A dealer who is a gambler may say “what the hell”….but the smart move is take the guarantee.

You would think but I have always asked the dealer if they want to play it or take it, and everyone sais play it. Most casinos the tips are pooled so it's not going directly into their pockets at that point. A simple $10 toke turns into $20.

She has addressed this on her streams. She always tips at the end of the session so she can calculate an accurate win/loss for the session at the end of the stream.
Quote: ChallengedMillyShe plays games she's bad at because she makes more money from the youtube videos than she loses for travel + time + actual losses + etc.
Thank you. At least one other person on this forum gets it.
She'll play the games that generate the most views.
The more "shows" she does the more money she makes.
Her money hits a sweet spot at about one hour for a live stream.
Shorter videos dont generate as much money. If a youtuber does shorter videos he might have to do several each day to generate the income of a single one hour video does.
El Cortez utilizes Youtubers for their marketing. Smart.
Quote: VegasriderWhy not take the guarantee?
I expect that one tip at the end doesn't embarass encourage the rest of the table to cough up and kick in, too.
Makes them more relatable and human.
Quote: TinManNew video states name of channel changed to “All Casino Action” and will feature other hosts as well.
Yeah, there’s already a Simpsons slot video up with some guy.
That’s why live stream doesn’t lie, it doesn’t edit, it doesn’t omit.
Most of (possibly all) these slot you tubers edit their content on the win side. Live streams losing sessions highly, highly outnumber pre recorded content results.
I believe MGM in Springfield put a stipulation on a slot you tuber to not upload too many losing sessions or they would ban him from filming. I think he was posting mainly bonus sessions only and not showing entire sessions.
I think most of us get it, I said as much a few times.. The question is.... does she bring in more than all that costs? That's hard to say, I have seen a few data sites that would indicate that's not the case, but why do it unless you are making a profit? Perhaps, as an investment hoping more profits will roll in in the future. I would wonder if those profits go the way of non filmed gambling activities, I have read some stuff that would indicate that is the case. Only she knows. I agree it's a cool job if you can make a nice living from it.Quote: AlanMendelsonThank you. At least one other person on this forum gets it.

The Big Jackpot
NG Slots
MG21
Lady Luck…a negative (she brings hubby along)
My guess is her 175,000 subscribers….a LOT of it is helped by the “looks” factor. The fact that her messages can read like an only fans site, but cleaner….tells me she probably does better than the players I listed only because she bets far, far less money but gets similar “views”…
”Less out, same $$’s in” as the bigger bettors.
I have little doubt that her short lived hiatus, which quite frankly was expressed as burned out, unsure if coming back…was based on needing income as opposed to truly wanting to get back playing.
The production company is like a boxing promoter with multiple fighters in his stable.
There are several of these production companies, promotion companies who have deals with high level youtubers.
It's like being represented by a big name Hollywood talent agency that guarantees an income stream to the youtuber but gets a percentage of the profits in return.
I wish I knew more. Again, this is my guess.
I'm not ruling out that Slotlady formed this venture herself following what others have done.
She impresses me as a smart cookie.
The "About" page on YouTube indicates SHE is the owner of All Casino Action and she's putting together the syndicate.
She is already losing enough don't you think?Quote: ChumpChangeYou & her should get together for an hour at the craps table. Teach her something.

She's about 10 years younger than my daughter. 12 years younger than my son. Enough said.

El Cortez and free, she said so in---I think it was the Baccarat video.

In an hour? I'd expect results of -$1000, or better.

I'd assume that it's something of a balance. If you oversaturate the market with content, then there will soon be no demand for new content (much less pent-up demand), so what will end up happening is that you'll make less money (and have a greater expected loss---more videos = more games) on what would have otherwise been roughly the same number of views.
Simply put: Putting out six hours of content a day isn't particularly helpful if your viewers don't have six hours to watch you---and that's assuming they even have six hours of interest.

Unless the bet loses and it becomes $0.
I know a casino where Place 6/8 bets for the crew for $1 will pay 2:1, so $3 and down on a win. They love those and the toke bet is actually being made at an advantage for the dealers. I hope that's still true, but haven't played any Craps there in a few years.
Quote: ChumpChangeIf Slotlady can lose $1,000 in less than an hour of blackjack, I can only conclude she's overbetting for her session money, or she had uncommon bad luck.
With Basic Strategy and about 90 hands in an hour, a simulation puts her probability of busting at about 5%. Even with only sixty hands assumed, it would still be north of 1%. That's also assuming she's only playing one hand at a time.
Quote: AxelWolfThe question is.... does she bring in more than all that costs?
If she's figured out how to gamble without even supporting her basic means, I'd like to know how.
Does she have a store? Sell merch? I think she has worn slot lady shirts.
Maybe she's been selling "Slot Lady" diamond bracelets.

Savvy graybeards don't BUY the young lady; they only RENT her for a little while.
Way of the world.
What you can do is bring it close to net zero…so effectively what you are doing is playing slots for “free” and income for living is derived from other sources, ie, his previous business as an email spammer.
The discussion on Lady Luck, who claimed she “quit” her job to play full time…is that her husband got in early on Bitcoin and made millions and that’s where her “lifestyle” is funded.
NG slots is one who is adamant that he cannot cover his gambling losses with his you tube channel. The only issue with him is he’s cagey in his answers as he also incurs huge losses in roulette, blackjack and other gambling…but doesn’t film any of that action. If he makes $300,000 per year off YouTube and incurs $300,000 in slot losses, he may also incur another $200,000 in gambling losses and then conveniently says “he always loses every year” regardless of YouTube income.

Fool and his money. I thought the foolish ones were those who contribute “chat” money. This takes it to another level. Never ceases to amaze me that people donate money to a gambler…to gamble.
Quote: DieterI expect that one tip at the end doesn't embarass encourage the rest of the table to cough up and kick in, too.
I think the universal rule for the dealers would rather accept their tips during the session vs at the end for the primary reasons, most go broke or end up losing. In that case a tip is not going to happen.

Agree. They would rather see tips during the session than wait until the end.
