Youtube Slot Community and SlotLady

[NewGuy]

The Youtube slot community has many shady creators who prey on a demographic that views slot machines as "Easy Money" and have a weird parasocial relationship that treats the audience as a piggy bank. A surprising amount of personalities that are "professional slot youtubers" are incredibly unethical and would of been shunned in any other avenue for their antics. This thread was inspired by Cheetos Bacarrat doing a rather lazy attempt on exposing youtube slot vloggers as scammers. I'm not here to clown on the guy, but his videos managed to get deluded acolytes of these channels berserk for stating obvious facts(no one wins all the time, they're getting paid by the casino, ). This inspired me to detail some of the shadier stuff that happened that I found. Please chime in if you know more:

The Big Fish

Brian Christopher - Brian Mifsud



Brian Christopher is a former struggling actor that hit it big filming himself play slots. He's a narcissistic charismatic individual who films himself playing slots. He's managed to accumulate 290,000 youtube subs making him the self-titled "#1 slot youtuber". He's managed to monetize recording slots enough to make this his fulltime job. This thread was not made to detail this man's achievements but to note some of his behavior. Back in March 2020, Brian Christopher told his fans that he managed to get some hand sanitizer with a BC slots logo at "cost" for 2 ounces at $2.99 plus shipping. This was during the Hand Sanitizer shortage, so you would think this was altruistic for his loyal "rudies" - that's his term of endearment for his fanbase, but you could find cheaper santizer in bulk on the internet for about $1 according to this video.





Brian Christopher was using a global pandemic and the shortage associated with it to pretend to be altruistic while charging triple the price that you could get them online.

Thankfully to his deluded fanbase, the hand sanitizer was not able to be procured, but he posted about his gambling cruise in March that was slated for October for his Rudies to go on. The same cruise where he gets a kickback from all the gambling going on by the company hosting the cruise. Presumably the cruise won't happen, but it shows that Brian Christopher views his loyal audience as suckers to extract money from.

Another shady thing that Brian did was during early May, he flew from LA to Spokane Washington, and drove to a Native American casino without quarantining at all to film content for his youtube channel. This was during the time that the Cali/Nevada casinos were closed and he was running out of slot content. He broke multiple laws to enrich himself and even said that this was "business", so it was ok for him to do that.



This isn't the complete list of Brian's shadiness, but I will update this thread when I find more.

Another person that's a big fish in the youtube slot creator community is Sarah - Slotlady:



She's an above-average woman in both intellect and looks who realized that she could subsidize her real life vice by making youtube her genuine career. I'm not knocking her for that... as she actually seems enthused when playing unlike BC who does an excited schtick 90% of the time. My issue with Slotlady is the fact that she will say one thing, and do another completely. Cheeto's Baccarat in his long-winded video noted that she's most likely being paid or getting compensation from casino's.



Slotlady denies that vehemently, but if you go to her OWN website, she has online casino promo codes with her name on it. I don't think online casino's give those out for charity. Here is proof:



Her patreon talks about getting a promotional offer from El Cortez that sounds like she's getting something from the back-end:
patreon.com/slotlady




She tries to act cool and calm, but she wasn't too happy about Cheeto's video. So she instructed people to report it to youtube, even if the video is incredibly mild.



My other issue with both Chris and Slotlady is the fact that their youtube tags are incredibly deceptive and manipulative. Quite frankly, if this industry on youtube was regulated, they would be in a ton of trouble. No respectable person would put these terms in a tag but Slotlady did. Some of the terms include, "Fast Money", "Law of Attraction"(bullshit belief that if you WISH for something, it will come), "Quick Money", "Easy Money" , "Rich Youtuber", "Richest Youtuber", "Gambling system", "increase luck" and those are on RECENT videos. She started her career off with even WORSE tags like " Winning Fast Money", " How to win at the casino"(on a BRANDED licensed slot machine)," Making Money Quickly".
Attachments are a bit wider than the post allows. So right click and press "view image" to make the screencap bigger.





Brian's tags aren't as awful but he still has stuff like "How to beat slots", and "free slots" in many of his tags. Right click and view image to see whole screencap.





Both Slotlady and Brian's tags with their video's are dangerous because they rarely show losing sessions(maybe 15% of the time AT MOST). Cementing into the head of impressionable people that, "Hey I can play professionally too", not realizing that these videos are heavily curated produced advertisements. The average viewer not realizing the vicarious dopamine hit they're getting from joining this weird para-social relationship is not of a genuine enthusiast, but as a way to earn a living and extract funds from lonely/desperate/deluded people. These "slot youtubers" are both not as nice and affable when the camera's are off from MULTIPLE sources, ESPECIALLY if your the average joe who is just a hobbyist filming their play. They view you as competition and anybody outside their circle as suckers. I was TOLD from multiple sources that the El Cortez won't even give hobbyists permission to film their slots and implied that Slotlady was the only one allowed to film slots for youtube or even for personal use. Let it sit in that even the WYNN which is a BIG step up from Cortez lets you record your own play.

I'm not saying anything, but it's awfully odd that a Woman who can film TABLE games at El Cortez, has a PATREON benefit that sounds like a back-end deal can film, but some dude who wants to film 2 minutes for posterity can't.

The videos either start off with a soft opening of an alleged win or the person introducing themselves. Produced introduction is next and the video starts off for at LEAST 10+ minutes, because these people NEED their ad revenue. Content ends and they have an ending for shilling their brand and recapping the day. It's all curated and templated to a TEE.

I had NO idea. People monetizing slot videos on youtube. The world is passing me by. That’s so fucked up.

The whole Chris “what’s his name” making baccarat videos was an eye opener too. Depressing as shit though.


The old folks are health conscious and those are the slot players. Slot revenue is down and that is the mothers milk of brick and mortar. Brick and mortar never solved the riddle they knew was coming. Covid just sped it up. This was all I thought about and faded.

Interesting thread. I always see Slot Lady and Brian Christopher as suggested videos when I'm checking out any gambling videos on Youtube. I can't fathom watching other people play slots.

That Brian Christopher guy has actually been in quite a few shows and commercials. Check out his IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3105117/

Imagine going from Hollywood to begging for tips during slot machine Youtube videos. That would be a humbling transition I would think.

And how does he have enough "fans" to have a fan club cruise? Would they just play slots all day on the cruise? Why are they called "Rudies"?

Brian Christopher stole SDguys1234 phrase of "rude" when getting a near miss in a slot machine. Yes, slot people really do talk to their machines and do other superstitious stuff like touch the screen as well. Since Brian said it quite a bit in his videos, his "community" started to call themselves "Rudies". It's a very common branding tactic as it lets the consumer feel like they're part of something bigger than a failed actor's foray in trying to be a "slot influencer". That's what Brian calls himself, btw.

Don't feel too bad for Bryan Christopher. Not going to dox him or anything, but his Husband does well for their family. Also, the fact that he lives in a nearly $2 million dollar house in the LA area as well according to my sources. Brian can cry about his middling acting career in his nice house.

Brian has about 1947 patrons on his patreon. They don't give a cash amount, but his latest video does detail some of the higher donators.

He has 1 producer credit($300 per month, or $2700 per year), 16 associate producers($100 per month * 16 people, or 1080 per year * 16 people), 28 co-producers($50 per month * 28 people, or $550 per year * 28 people). Just the high-end people give this dude about $1400 + $1600 + $300, or $3300 dollars a month if they paid monthly, or $2,700 + $17,280 + $15,400 = $35,380 if they paid with the yearly discount. This doesn't include the other 1902 patrons, who if they paid the $55 yearly minimum(just theory. I know people who pay more than that and who are under the super whale categories). That would be $104,610 + $35,380 a year, totaling a bare minimum of $139,990. That doesn't include him charging for his sponsored rudies events(yes, he bilks the patrons even when the event is sponsored by multiple slot companies).

good thread NG...

i must sadly admit that i am familiar with all of these people...like the shrink these vids started popping up on YT for me and watched them right about the time i was getting let go from the evil empire, trying to see if there might be anything to this that we could capitalize on...

scary thing is that in addition to all that patreon money that SL and BC get, when they do live streams people actually SEND THEM FUCKING MONEY!!!!! that shit just floors me...so you're basically giving these people $5-10-20 to gamble with instead of gambling yourself?!??!?! and you dont get any kickback or a handy from SL...fuck me...i should have figured out this grift a long time ago...

raja definitely seems like a total fucking scammer scumbag...dude is constantly firing 5 figures into slot machines...to do that youre either (a) playing with fake money (b) somehow on the take or (c) crooked as fuck...

it's just fascinating that there are gaggles of people out there who follow these people like a cult...i mean they're hitting buttons on a fucking slot machine, which the last time i checked requires maybe 2-3 active brain cells...

Brian Christopher literally having a marketing pamphlet posted as an attachment can tell that the guy who would literally do anything to get head. Theirs an infamous story of him going to some hobbyist forum's group pull, recording the whole thing, and going back to his room to edit it when it's over, and than post the group pull before anybody else could even post the video. Mind you he acted like he was just recording it for his local facebook or to have it for his own posterity. Bcslots views the hobbyist as a stepping stone for his own career. Yes, a group pull that Brian acted like he was recording for his own posterity was used to boost his channel early on in his career.

BCSlotsDeck_Partnerships_Casinos.pdf

Oh don't worry about the evil empire hiring them. Brian Christopher is being hired by Indian Casinos right now and is flown out to many to produce videos. He puts #AD in the video, but I've seen cooking videos who are way more forthright of being sponsored by something like Squarespace, than he does to being sponsored by a Casino and playing their games. It's amazing how he's skirting having the little paid promotion tab flash under his video, while dudes who fry chicken breast, do it openly and fairly.

My favorite old school video of his that he has hidden from view was when he was kicked out of the Cromwell and Planet Hollywood back in 2017 when he was way smaller. Mr. Hollywood had a very snippy attitude about it at Cromwell when he didn't ask for permission and tried to sass the guard. This is the true face of Bcslots when he doesn't get his away.

Incident is about 40 seconds in.



I was informed that one of the Casino's that gave Slotlady permission to film booted her from filming table play. I was doing a running tally of superchats and people gave her $147.24 in 25 minutes of playing BlackJack. The last few seconds of the video showed something nasty hiding in her demeanor. The fact that her face can manage to shift that fast with her smile is something I've only seen in trained actors and the very mentally unstable.

Incident from 23:00 onward till end.


Maybe I'm reading too much in her facial shift, but somebody with more life experience can chime in.

Another big fish in this youtube slot community pond scum is Scott Richter - Mr. Big Jackpot or Raja:



Now before talking about the present, Scott Richter was one of the biggest mail spammers in the early 2000's. So big that he was responsible for the Saddam/Iraqi deck in the early 2000's. If you had a mail account before 2006, you probably got one of his spam emails. Blogs like focalcurve literally wrote about Scotty suing anti-spam blockers for violating his CONSTITUTIONAL rights to send penis pill ads to your mail box in 2004. He was so big that MICROSOFT launched a lawsuit on him and managed to get $7 million dollars in a settlement. Read his wikipedia page to get the full scope of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Richter

As most of his highly unethical and illegal behaviour was in the 200X's, he tried to go back in the early 201X's to do web based stuff. He had his domains yanked by ICANN(Internet regulatory body for online domans) for being involved in more spamming. He realized in 2016 that he could make boatloads of money subsidizing his vice of gambling by starting a youtube channel and owning multiple night clubs. How does a felon who lost multiple million dollar settlements get enough cash to do that? I don't know and legally am insinuating nothing, but just asking a question. Scott uses his youtube channel to advertise online casinos, record himself playing high-limit slots, and act like an entrepreneur for doing so.

Of course like most of the pond scum in this community, his tags are highly unethical and deceptive. Yea, you're not really going to learn " Slot Machine Winning Strategies", "how to win at slot machines", " Best Slot machines to play", from people who won't even talk about payback percentages in their video or slot volatility by the manufacturer(slot manufacturers like Bally use a 1-5 to indicate payouts and stability). Payback might be hard to get, but the manufacturer literally gives out sheets about their machines to casino staff. Somebody like BC, Slotlady or Raja could easily get them if they asked. More volatile means boom or bust, less volatility is more gentle. Instead, they talk in imprecise terms like "dry" and offer nothing even concrete.


I found a famous game's sheet with GOOGLING and learned more in this 3 page pdf than if you watched these slot youtubers whole catalog.

That looks like the old " now if I can win another two hundred, I'll be almost even!" look.

I’ve never been on TikTok in my life but EZ has done more of God’s work here. It’s truly amazing to see how slot channels becoming normalized opened up this huge area of exploitation. Eventually every platform & angle will be exploited. It comes full circle and the casinos eventually have to shut all recording down and you can even see poker vloggers being effected. This is some grimy grimy stuff.

But if you think about it poker has all these staking sites now. To my knowledge there has not been a big scandal and they seem to be operating above board. But it does remind me why people actually send money to these slot scammers for group pulls. The poker community is far more educated & well policed than these totally unschooled marks. But at the end of the day everyone is looking for the same thing…a sweat.

Article written and submitted. I would expect it to be published Monday, if not tomorrow; Sunday would be doubtful.

I agree with most of what EZ Life says in principle, but I do disagree with his blanket assertion that these sorts of group pulls are categorically illegal (I think they could occasionally be legal, depending on the circumstances); EZ also drops terms like, "Money Laundering," and, "WIRE Act," which I would think are almost never applicable, and potentially inapplicable, respectively. Certainly, for the WIRE Act to even theoretically come into play would require it to be an interstate transaction, which is probably is usually, but is not necessarily.

EZ Life also stated, or strongly implied, that for one person to send another money for the purpose of gambling is itself illegal and I do not believe that statement is absolutely true. My article will offer an example of an extremely vanilla transaction where it would be hard to argue that an illegal act has taken place.

Anyway, I can appreciate what EZ Life does in this video, and agree with a lot of what he says, but wouldn't want to take things so far that we're putting the fear of God in people when it comes to perfectly lawful acts, as well.

ADDED: Oh, yes, I also link to this thread and to EZ Life's video, of course. It's not really my concern, but I think this might have been better to be its own thread only because Slotlady's handle is in the subject of this one, so that sort of indirectly links her to this sort of behavior.

Mission146, You have the dream job. You get paid to write about gambling topics - I am a bit jealous.

[PositiveVariance]

I think ultimately if Casinos do a blanket ban on all filming, content creators will resort to hidden cameras. I don’t know how good the very small hidden cameras are, but you can always take an IPhone and sew it into the inside of a shirt - you make a small hole for the camera lens.

Also, you would want to block any identifying features or numbers that would link that machine to a specific casino. This way a casino can't fight to remove the video after it’s posted since they can’t confirm where it was actually filmed.

I think ultimately most casinos may make a screening process to get rid of riff raff like DSucky (Shoutout Mission). These content creators provide a huge benefit for the casino advertising wise. Especially El Cortez and Slot Lady.

We will see what happens.

Mission146, You have the dream job. You get paid to write about gambling topics - I am a bit jealous.

That's nice of you to say, but don't be too jealous.

Some of the writing aspect of what I do requires a self-motivation that I often don't have! It's a pretty good gig, overall. I hope nobody takes me for a shill, but I also must admit that I get along fabulously with the LCB Group and ownership and don't remember ever having even the slightest disagreement with them.

They've also never asked me to edit anything out or walk back my opinions on things, even when some of my statements have been unfavorable to online casinos. Not once. They sometimes request me to write about specific topics for various sites, but have never once told me what to say.
