Great coverage Druff. Highly recommend everyone listen to the segment. It’s truly amazing the amount of money this guy is making for such a lame ass act. To top that, one of the highest end Casinos in the world were actually going to host a Slot Tournament using this guy’s name. Just amazing what is going on.

The one thing I would say is I doubt the guy is even an AP Slot Player on his own. Not that it even matters to the scam. Such a simple scam, but so fucking lucrative. This needs to get out to more people. Probably not a Coffeezilla type thing. But it would be great to get this in front of millions of eyeballs.

Good segment Druff.
I have to agree with JD on the AP stuff. I would be surprised if this character would be able to explain when a machine is in a positive state, let alone actually spot one on the casino floor.

In one of the videos where someone spotted him, they caught him playing as well. My guess is he is a hard core degenerate.

Even if he was able to spot a high limit machine in a positive position, the variance would be massive.
Let’s say on $1,500 they bring for the machine, at $100 spins they may get $2,000 “Coin-in” since it eats it so fast. This would be equivalent to $20 on a $1 machine. Goes fast. Very fast.

1% player edge = $20 in EV
8% HOUSE edge = Negative $160

But yeah, this bozo is definitely picking the machines at random.

Even if he could find a machine in a “Break even” state, after the Chum pays $1700 to Lucky and let’s say he brings another $1700 for “Coin-in”. This is equivalent to a house edge of 50% lol. Since he is likely nowhere near a break even machine, after you add in the House Edge it would be somewhere around 45% RTP.

Very good coverage indeed on the radio segment and I like the way you dug into whether or not what he’s doing is illegal or immoral. The guy has somehow Vincennes a lot of not so informed individuals that be is a celebrity and that’s what he’s selling by default with the meetups. Yes there is the hint that you’re going to gamble and win (based on all the winning videos). But unlike Christopher Mitchell he never offers any kind of guarantees and is treating his services as isolated experiences. Mitchell tried to tell you that if you keep following (and keep paying) him you’ll be rich and be able to quit your job.

He’s not the only one of these slot channels that has been able to be promoted by a casino (or in this case…almost promoted). Brian Christopher has a whole section of The Plaza that promotes him and his channel and Scott (the Big Jackpot) has been promoted at various times by Caesar’s and the Cosmopolitan.

Is there any information on who D Lucky really is? Any actual good photos of the guy? (no, not just his thumb) This can't be his first hustle and he has to have some kind of somewhat shady background.

Actually, yes.

At the time I did the radio show, I didn't know his name, but I do now, upon doing further research.

His name is David Phan. I have two pictures of him. This was publicly shared by Vegas Dave (apparently a friend of his) in December 2019. The two of them went to a Lakers game with golfer Holly Sonders, but I don't believe she and D Lucky were dating, despite what the picture would suggest.





And here is D Lucky in action! This pic was sent to me by a radio listener.





Here is the Nevada registry of "D Lucky, Inc", which was registered in August 2020. David Phan is listed as all of the officers, but a Vanessa Phan (his wife?) is listed as one of the officers, as well: https://www.bizapedia.com/nv/d-lucky-inc.html


You should not confuse him with former poker pro David "The Dragon" Pham, as these are two different people.

No wonder D Lucky doesn’t go on camera.

Look at the bottom part of his shoes, it’s like he has been walking through dirt. $1700 bucks a person, Jesus buy some new shoes.


I followed Vegas Dave’s scamming, watched his YouTube videos, ect. One absolutely surprising fact that I remember, from when he was dating Holly Sanders, is he would mostly sleep at his parents house, why she slept alone lol. Also, he wasn’t saying this after they split up. He admitted to this WHILE they were dating! The Video may still be up on his YouTube account.

Maybe he is gay? What’s up with these gay scammers pretending they like women?

D Lucky reminds me of the Actor Ken Jeong - Most famously from the Hangover Series…




Is D Lucky wearing a Fanny Pack??




Lastly, what are the odds that 2 scammers (Vegas Dave and D Lucky) become buds?
The picture of The Two, was long before his current scam.

I’m wondering if Vegas Dave was the one who gave him the connection over at the Wynn?

When D Lucky wears one, it's a Officially a FAG BAG!!! HAHAHA

Speaking of fags, Man Boobs Malone made some laughable videos including one about D Lucky which he just ripped from someone else's channel and then his own poor attempt to make videos like Card Counter Steven Bridges(great stuff btw, guy is top notch)

First he's bitching because he's down $1800, then he wins some back and is all happy, then he gets pissy again when the cage asks for ID(though he has a player card there) and then he bitches about the ID thing the whole ride home! What a Moron!!

i hate this fuck.

Oh man, I think D Lucky just cost Eddie 2K "extra":

But of course, D Lucky woudn't show that blunder unless there was a happy ending:

Hey all, have been lurking on the forum for the past few months (mostly on the scam ones) and thought it was about time to sign up and say a thing or two.

Anyway, D Lucky now has another business venture - this time offering his "services" for small time YouTube slot streamers. He can help get your numbers to explode on Tik Tok and make money on YouTube with his editing skills all for the low low price of $15000. Can't afford it? No problems, he can do the work and the money you make he gets a 75% cut from it.

He's already gotten someone on board, don't know if anyone else has signed up for it yet. A Youtuber called SeanTalksTooMuch has done a video on it and even tried to reach out to said person already on board to no avail. Will have to wait and see what happens next.

Looks like D Lucky will have to scratch some properties off his list.

MGM properties just made a decision to ban any form of vlogging at their properties. This means no more slots videos and no more poker videos. You can't film play there anymore.

Apparently MGM was getting too many complaints about these slots vloggers (possibly about D Lucky himself), and have become concerned that this will affect their reputation. So they're just disallowing it all.

Sorry just realised I made a mistake with what I said in my previous post - Eddie Las Vegas was the one who has supposedly gotten on board with this new thing with lucky d and that Sean tried to reach out to him. Sorry for my bad wording

Looking at his videos he seems to be doing this a lot at the Wynn. Shit ton of people from Hawaii. Which makes sense because of the gambling prohibition there. It’s sad to see these working class people fall for this shit. But they are totally unschooled in gambling & probably believe that there are “secrets” that they can learn to win on their journey. This whole thing really bothers me. So many different scams out there but I think three things bother me the most:

1) The fee they are paying is absurd.

2) The amount they are gambling is absurd.

3) What are supposed to be high end casinos on the strip are letting this garbage go on.

This might be the thing to inspire me back to YouTube. Even if he gets banned by proprieties he’s probably made high 6 figures already. The fact he’s a the Wynn, even after they stopped his ridiculous slot tournament, really bothers me as well. They clearly know what is going on and for him to still be welcome to film this garbage there is unsettling. This shit will continue but if casinos will ban him and make it public why he is being banned, that could make a difference. But I’m probably dreaming.

Will be interesting to see which casinos he uses for this going forward, since the MGM gambling filming ban.

This should also include the Cosmo, which is an MGM property.

This probably leaves him down to the Wynn, Encore, Venetian, and Palazzo, plus downtown.

I know El Cortez doesn't give a shit because they're shit. But we might be able to influence the Wynn (and maybe also Venetian) to review this again and put a stop to it.

NG Slot, one of the biggest YouTube slot streamers, used to play mostly at Cosmopolitan. Looks like he didn't get an exemption because his newest videos are being filmed at Resorts World.

Too much gay porn in Chrissy thread.

You can see the mark is betting 2K or more on each hand. When the camera goes back you can see he’s basically all in. It is the end of the shoe so who knows what went on before. The El Cortez is the absolute scum of the scum. But they are going to let a guy lean over to the point when he corrects the dealer he’s literally smothering the table? These are big bets for the El Cortez. Dealer I’m sure was nervous. I don’t even have a real take on this. It’s just more theatre if the absurd.

D lucky now has another venture - sports betting. Already over 1900 people subscribed through the telegram messenger app (never heard of this app until now). he says join for free plays but no other details I can currently find short of joining the chat.

And now on top of everything else d lucky does, you can now pay for a blackjack experience...at the El Cortez.

I have no words for how ludicrous this is, but Alex from CEG School has something to say about it
