Slot machines are very sophisticated computers that are designed to make the casino money, that is all. They don't care about you - they care about their client - the casino! The casinos DO care about you, because you make them money and so they'll give you free stays, money. Eventbrite - Brian Christopher presents Live!

My name is Brian Christopher, and I regularly post new live videos of myself playing slot machines in the casino. You'll see some wins, some losses, some jackpot handpays, high limit slots, max. Slot machines are very sophisticated computers that are designed to make the casino money, that is all. They don't care about you - they care about their client - the casino! The casinos DO care about you, because you make them money and so they'll give you free stays, money and food to keep you coming back (it works!).

Brian Christopher turns playing slots into a successful business

Most people play slots as a form of entertainment. They know that, while they may win from time to time, in the long run the house has got you beat. But there is another way to make money from the slots, and Brian Christopher has tapped into that rich vein. He travels from casino to casino playing his favorite games, just like so many of us. The difference is, he shares his adventures on YouTube.com—and makes money doing it.

How popular is he?

“I have quickly become the top influencer for slot machines and casinos on YouTube,” said Brian. “I average 2 million views per month—with millennials accounting for more than half of my viewers—and my videos are watched in 213 countries worldwide, with the U.S. representing 73 percent of the traffic.

“Who would have thought that watching someone else play slot machines would be so popular? But when you think of it, it makes complete sense. The #1 channel on YouTube with 57 Million subscribers is Pewdiepie – a guy who plays video games. So me playing slot machines is basically the same thing… only more elevated, because it involves money! You could say I’m like a Pewdiepie of Slots, only with G-Rated language.”

Of course, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get to the top—and even more to stay there.

“I upload at least one video every day, and each week I’ll throw in additional live streams either gambling in a casino or as a Q&A from home. I came up with regular daily themes like Millionaire Mondays where I play games with jackpots over a million dollars, Thousand Dollar Thursdays where I gamble with $1000 cash, or Get High Fridays where I only play High Limit Games.

“My friends are shocked by my success. I mean, all I do is play slot machines. What they don’t see is that managing a massive YouTube Channel is a full-time job and I have had to hire a talented Editor and a hard-working Social Media Manager, just to keep up! I’m not complaining though, I love what I do – I was born to be online.”

Beyond regular gambling videos, Brian often partners with casinos and slot

manufacturers to showcase new games, online apps, host special events or feature new and exciting amenities. It’s the perfect win-win scenario for all parties, because it allows the most progressive companies in this space to tap into their ideal market base—gambling millennials. “No other platform, be it TV, radio, or billboard advertising, has the ability to engage their target audience the way that I do. Everyone who watches me is a gambling and casino enthusiast, or is interested in joining in the experience,” said Brian.

If you watch his channel, don’t expect some sugar-coated video, where it’s all winning all the time. Brian takes viewers on a fun, and sometimes raucous, but realistic journey with him as he plays.

“My channel is all about keeping it real. I show all of my wins and losses and don’t hide the fact that statistically, I will lose in the long run. My fans love that they can literally see themselves in me. In fact, I treat all of my recordings as if I’m playing right beside them, with sayings like ‘I hope WE get the bonus’ or ‘WE won!’ It also helps me not feel as crazy talking to myself at a machine. And yes, I get a lot of stares.”

Brian Christopher, the host of the BCSlots YouTube channel, is one of the biggest slot YouTubers out there.

After trying to become a full-time actor in Hollywood, he has risen to fame in the slot gaming community and even had a Forbes article about him, following his channel being shut down by YouTube in 2018.

With over 206,000,000 views on his channel, Brian is even more popular than his fellow slot gamers, such as Slotlady.

What’s more, Brian is also a shrewd businessman. In early 2021, he opened Brian Christopher Slots at Plaza, a BCSlots branded gaming area at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The venue will, without a doubt, become a place of pilgrimage for fans of the YouTuber.

Start of the Channel

Before becoming a popular Youtuber, Brian had a brief tenure as an actor, playing in such TV series as Stock and Awe and The Listener, while later getting a small part in The Leftovers.

He started the BCSlots channel as a hobby in 2016. However, when the subscribers’ count starter to grow, he recruited more people to work on the channel and is at 323,000 subscribers as of January 2021.

This success is largely attributed to the fact that videos are posted daily. In the videos, Brian is traveling across the US, visiting various casinos, winning, losing, reacting, and regularly live streaming his gameplay.

Another peculiarity is the so-called “Group Pull”, in which the fans that travel with him all bet collectively on a single slot.

Additionally, he has an official fan-club of Rudies, the name he has given to his audience. The club members get access to special live streams and exclusive offers on his merch.

Channel Suspension Controversy

In June 2019, YouTube has suspended his channel, due to Community Guidelines violation in one of his videos. However, the video was the same as others and contained no dangerous acts, to which YouTube was referring to.

The drama around it caused quite a stir and even Forbes author David G. Schwartz has covered it. As Brian said: “For them to turn around and shut me down with zero explanation hurts.”

After filing an appeal only to be denied, he received a short email from YouTube saying that his channel was reinstated after a re-review. No apology or explanation was given by YouTube.

He is now uncertain about the channel’s future, as YouTube might just do it again at some point. Even though he is going stronger than ever and the Rudies can support him off of YouTube if anything goes wrong, not being sure about his passion and livelihood can be discouraging.

Nevertheless, Brian Christopher doesn’t seem to stop. The same night his channel was back up, he won a major $10,000 jackpot, which you can watch below:

Patreon — How to Become a Rudie

As mentioned above, Brian Christopher, just as many other YouTubers, has a name for his fans — rudies. They can be regularly seen accompanying him in the videos or during his slot cruise. Some of the fans are his Patreon supporters, who get certain rewards by pledging monthly donations.

The levels of support start at $5, which provides the patron a possibility of a private casino live stream from Brian, early access to his events and access to the patron-only Facebook group. Some other Patreon perks from BCSlots include:

• Celebratory Rudies Chip on each Anniversary
• Follow from Brian on social media — $10
• Co-Producer credit on all videos — $50
• Guaranteed access to any Brian Christopher’s group event — $100
• Private VIP casino tour with Brian every 6 months of being a patron at that level — $500
• Senior executive producer position — $1,200

COVID-19 Casino Tour

Brian Christopher made it to the front pages of several news websites in the summer of 2020 when he organized a tour of 21 casinos during the coronavirus outbreak.

The goal of the tour was to see what measures casinos were taking in order to ensure employee and patron safety during the pandemic. The blogger shared his findings through his official website.

At the end of the tour, Brian concluded that many casinos followed government rules perfectly, while others were either overzealous or reckless.

Brian Christopher Slots at Plaza

In early 2021, Brian and the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas announced a trailblazing joint project that forever changed the relationship between slot bloggers and gambling venues.

The project is called Brian Christopher Slots at Plaza, a special BCSlots branded gaming area at the Plaza Hotel.

It features sixteen of Brian’s favorite slots, including such land-based hits as Cleopatra II, Coyote Moon, Dollar Storm, Lock It Link Huff N’ Puff, and Lightning Zap.

This development is monumental as it is showing that offline gambling venues are paying increased attention to Twitch slot streamers and casino YouTubers.

Jonathan Jossel, the CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino, said that his company believed that social media influencers like Brian Christopher have completely transformed the way the general public views slot machine gaming.

With the ability to share your wins and losses with millions of people at a tap of a button, offline gambling is becoming as social as its online counterpart.

The company believes that, by opening a BCSlots themed section of their casino, they will be able to attract some Brian’s 320,000+ subscribers to their venue.

And the company’s gamble seems to have already paid out, with Jossel stating that the BCSlots area has already brought a lot of new business to the casino.

Brian Christopher Net Worth

Naturally, Brian does not disclose how much he makes from videos on YouTube. Nevertheless, it’s safe to assume that the income from playing slot machines alone is enough to keep playing them, seeing the amount of videos where relatively big wins take place.

The said YouTube channel would not bring too much income, however, as gambling videos cannot be monetized. The only income here would be donations made during live streams.

A lion’s share of his net worth would obviously come from Patreon. The BCSlots channel is supported by 1949 patrons (updated Septrmber 2020). Considering that the smallest pledge level starts at $5/month and that there are two Executive Producers ($500 pledge), 6 Associate Producers ($100), 11 Co-Producers ($50) mentioned in his latest video descriptions, Brian is bound to get around $10,000 a month from Patreon alone.

This doesn’t include Brian’s merch in his online store or special events, such as the slot machine cruise or Rudies Weekend 2020.

It is important to note, however, that most of the money goes to content creation. As Brian himself puts it on his Patreon page, editors, marketing and social managers, assistants as well as photographer and videographers are required to produce the videos. On top of that, traveling expenses for casino trips cost a dime as well.

Considering the factors above, most of Brian Christopher’s Patreon earnings likely go into his online store or his channel.
