Slotlady shoutout to WoO
She set it up with El Cortez to livestream $1000 worth of UTH, at $15/hand. During the play she answers questions about how to play, etc, and at the 15 minute mark she answers strategy questions by saying, “I went to www.wizardofodds.com, someone there figured it out already,” or something like that. Throughout the video she refers to WoO and the Wizard several times, and says, “It’s my money, I’ll play it the way I want to.”
She makes a lot of mistakes, especially on the final bet, but she also says that she is playing from memory and for fun. I don’t see that it’s worth investing the time in, unless you like to watch videos of table games being played. But the multiple shoutouts to Wiz are cool.
Quote: TinManShe’s done a few videos at the El Cortez. I recall a blackjack video too. I don’t play UTH but I know the strategy is fairly complicated and there’s a “count” for river betting that she’s not doing so I’m sure her Theo return is much lower than optimal (plus she bets the side bet). Still, entertaining videos and good background noise. She tips heavily—I saw $50 for a one hour session. Of course possible the play is not real and she and EC just do it for the advertising. I’ve heard that’s true of some of the slot channels (not necessarily her).
She definitely reports accurately. In this video she even jokes that she doesn’t win on slots. But I’m sure she makes it all back on the videos.
I am good with the first bet. The middle bet is kind of okay. The final bet, some hands are easy and some hands are hard. I get about 80% right.
Quote: rdw4potusYouTube slot videos are a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm a big fan of Sarah's. She's one of the only youtube slot folks who shows what really happens, win or lose. The table game livestreams are an interesting addition.
NJSlotGuy is another good one. It’s just as likely to watch him thread $2000 through a $10 machine and lose it as it is for him to get a hand pay, even at $20/bet.
The only one I have got a bit into is Ryan Depaulo:
Degenerate Gambler. He plays a lot of VP and live poker as well as slots.
Lots of these folks were just at red rock. Mgslots posted a video tour of the 180 suite, NG posted a video of one of the lesser suites. Those are awesome rooms. Gotta beg my host to upgrade me next time.
From what I hear, the live-streamed slot videos get about $100/hr in viewer contributions ("super chats") . That, plus the YouTube ad revenue from posted vids, probably cancels the house edge in most cases. So it's a free roll for comps then. I'd do that if I could fit it in with my "real" job.
Just need a tag line - boomshakalaka, so sour, show me the power of your bonus, (insert profane sdguy expression here)
Quote: rdw4potusShe's done the live table games at El Cortez & the d. Must be worthwhile for the casinos. I'm surprised the d one worked out as well as it did. Lots of copyright issues with background music on YouTube & its sure loud there.

I thought the same on the ads, but she has none. It’s just the super chats.

She has patreon also.
You could probably wear advertising on a ring on your finger while punching the slot button.
Quote: MoscaI thought the same on the ads, but she has none. It’s just the super chats.
I get about 3 embedded ad breaks per 10ish minute video. I assumed there was some sort of monetization for the channel there, but maybe not?
Some do, some spend hoping they'll make it, and some just suddenly lose their popularity for one reason or another. It's all about the face, the publice is stupid, and wants to follow. I'd guess being a female, it's the same as being an actress, shelf life limited.Quote: AxelWolfI'm just in awe people can make money doing this.

How does that work?
exclusive slot videos just for her paying members?
kinda like OnlyFans except slots instead of nudity?

I don't know what people doing slots offer on their patreon. But other channels offer extra content, personal requests, behind the scenes looks. Perhaps free gifts that advertisers might have provided.

Last I saw, Slot Lady quit. I’m not sure what drove her to stop content...whether covid issues, losses, etc. She claimed it was not losses although she admitted to a terrible run in Vegas right before she decided to take a break.
I think Patreon offers what you mentioned.
Some of the high limit players (Big Jackpot, Brian Christopher, NG Slots, Lady Luck) likely earn anywhere from $175,000 to $250,000/year from you tube alone...all based on views. They get additional money from patreon, super chats (people donate money to them) and merchandise. The Big Jackpot gets advertised in Vegas by casinos...so he must be getting something for that.
These players pursue any and all opportunities to generate income. High limit slots is expensive.

She said it is a pain returning to Canada after leaving the US. Upon returning to Canada she has to quarantine for 14 days. Also the first 3 nights must be spent in a government listed hotel at your own cost. It is just not worth her time until the boarders reopen.

God bless America. She taped a reply on you tube. Canada casinos are STILL closed? Wow. I figured at worse she could still film content. Just not here.
Are Canada’s covid numbers this bad? Everything I’ve heard up north and there’s a LOT of businesses still closed down. How are NHL teams allowed to have events but the Blue Jays baseball team has to play every game in Florida? The next NHL series will be played on US soil for Canadians or Winnipeg Jets.
She also lives in a condo apartment of some kind and each units heat and air conditioning temps are controlled by the management. Wow. She said any apartment rentals in Canada are this way. She was being “heated” out in late May.
The way she gambles...I figured she had some independent wealth. Maybe not. A daily session of $400-$500 adds up.

Canada is starting to open but here in Ontario we are still in lockdown. Our covid numbers are way down now as more people are getting vaccinated. Our government has been hard on the people with really tight restrictions forcing many businesses to go bankrupt. Ontario has 14 million people and our new covid numbers are around 800 a day which is really not too bad. 50% have had their first vaccination and as this number goes up new covid cases go down.You still can't eat in restaurants and big stores like Wallmart can only sell groceries and pharmacy items.
The NHL played in Canada this season to empty arenas but Quebec has started to let a few fans in for the first time this whole season. Blue Jays have moved from Florida to Buffalo to play. US teams can not cross the border so this forced Blue Jays to stay in the US.
People up here are getting restless and they say things will start opening this summer. Hope so. I have not been in a casino for 16 months due to closures.

I’m starting to think many people didn’t understand that even if the numbers are way down, all opening up does is cause a big surge if a large number of people are suddenly exposed to the virus for the first time without being vaccinated.

Texas has been holding big events. They allowed full stadiums early in the baseball season (April)....AFAIK, there haven’t been any huge spikes. I’m wondering why Canada is still being so extreme. Here in Vegas, Fremont street on a weekend night has been packed.
I’m not sure of vaccine availability in Canada...but had heard reports it wasn’t as easy to get vaccinated as it was here.
I had enough of the shut downs, closures, etc....you guys seem to have it a LOT worse.
Woe are the businesses that are gone forever.
Quote: SandybestdogI saw the big jackpot guy at Hard Rock AC a couple weeks ago. A couple dozen people there end up watching. I’m sure he makes deals with the casinos to get a loss rebate and/or a certain amount of freeplay up front. Combined with the YouTube revenue this may be enough to cover his losses and possibly eke out a profit. It’s a pretty good move actually. Basically you get to play high limit slots and travel around for free.
Honestly, you get conflicting statements from the high limit you tube players. NG Slots says there is NO WAY to overcome high limit slot play losses with his you tube channel. He has about 225,000 subscribers.
The big jackpot was a mega millionaire with his email spam business. NG Slot also claims big wealth from “business”....but isn’t clear how he runs a business while being in the casino all the time and spending all day organizing his twice daily play videos. My guess there is trust fund guy or family money.
Lady Luck says it’s possible to make a living with her channel. She also said she works a regular 9-5 job. I don’t know too many who work “regular” jobs and are gambling $35,000 every weekend. My guess is she is also not being up front about the source of money.
There’s a lot of mystery with these players and not a real clear understanding who is bull crapping and who is honest.
That’s their choice. They do like to talk about it, but most definitely there are conflicting claims.
With a marginal income from it, there's always a chance one could catch an unusually large jackpot. I'd be happy to play all the bigger jackpot machines even with a marginal return just to keep plugging away at those massive JPs. I'd be happy to go at the Megabucks for a couple hours every once in awhile if I could scratch any real return from it in the meantime. 10,000,000 to 1 or whatever it is, Pshaaaw, No problem.
Regardless of whether or not they are profiting overall, the real question is, "Would they be playing slots at this frequency anyway?"
If the answer to that question is yes, then it makes sense to offset your expected losses by any means possible.
Quote: Mission146Whatever revenue from videos they make, every penny of it is a penny more than if they were not doing videos.

Good question, my instinct says they would not be playing as much if they were not doing videos to upload...then again, I consider these players addicted to slots, so maybe they would be playing as much. NG slots shows frustration by quick tapping ONLY when he’s been having a rough session. That tells me he’s frustrated while gambling. Would he stop if he wasn’t filming? Maybe, maybe not.
All of them are addicted IMO. I don’t think they could stop regardless.
My guess is that their channel offsets a good chunk of the losses. Whether patreon, merchandise, casino tie ins, loss rebate are enough to make them “net positive”...I just don’t know. None of them are what I would call completely honest or forthcoming.

Lady Luck recently announced that she has quit her job to focus on the channel.
Quote: rsactuaryLady Luck recently announced that she has quit her job to focus on the channel.
Yeah...I’m really not buying it. She’s another one who has given conflicting statements about her “job”. It went from public relations to Human Resources to something else about being the 8th employee. In each case...I don’t buy this “regular 9-5”...as she calls it, is dumping $35,000 every weekend in the slot coffers to play. Has to be something else going on, IMO.
If her job was that lucrative and afforded her this option...I think a person would say retire instead of quit. Quit makes it sound like “screw this job, I quit”.
Now she’s giving up this lucrative career to run a slot channel that maybe affords her break even status? My radar is pinging.

'I've just entered the casino. lets see what juicy plays are here.
Oh look.. Zodiac Lion..."
the person doing this would probably be a hobbyist instead of full time job.
ie: Like poker has people who play for fun, there are probably AP'ers who AP because they like +EV situations
or Retired AP'ers could also do this.
ie: Mickey
Quote: mcallister3200Oh yeah, a casino is going to welcome that filming with open arms..
You can buy eye glasses.with a 720p camera. Wouldn't try it at any of the table games, but slots...?
