Brian Christopher has been building his slots YouTube channel for over two years. The “Brian Gambles” channel has attracted over 84,000 subscribers during this time and put out more than 1,100 videos. But Christopher awoke to a shocking email from YouTube on June 3, 2018.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brian Christopher.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Brian. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
When I booked my first trip to Las Vegas, I looked to Youtube to find out what games to play and at which casinos. To my amazement (and shock!), there were videos of people playing slots online! Why would anyone want to watch that? Well apparently I did, and I watched a lot. It encouraged me to try my hand at it too. I only uploaded my videos for fun but spruced them up with intros and outros to make them more enjoyable. After they went viral (for my subscriber base!), I made some more and they too went viral! So I kept up with them and I suppose I did something right because I now get a million views a week!

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
A lot of what I have done has been uncharted territory. I had to figure everything out on my own. I would buy film equipment like green screens and lighting – with zero clues how to use them. I even dabbled in 360 videos for a while. The biggest hurdle is finding the time to get everything done, which is why I’m on the hunt for more staff!

BrianGambles.com – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I upload videos daily of me playing slot machines. I also hold events all over the world like meet and greets, slot tournaments, cruises and group slot pulls. I’m super proud in how far we as a channel have come, and how our amazing ‘Rudies’ family has grown. The Rudies is my fan club, and they are just awesomely supportive and positive. They named themselves off of one of my catchphrases ‘Rude!’ (when the slots don’t quite line up how I’d like them. My channel is a bit different in that it’s all about the viewer’s experience.

They’re not literally sitting in the chair playing, but I do my best to make them feel a great part of the experience. I try and be as personal and interactive as I can which is also why I hold so many events. I absolutely LOVE getting face time with them.

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
In June my YouTube Channel was shut down without cause. It was ONE day before my 4 week East Coast tour of 8 casinos. Rather than freak out and cancel the tour, I boarded my plane and kept my cool. It all paid off because the next day my channel was back and I was able to live stream and I hit my BIGGEST Jackpot LIVE by hitting $10,000 on Wheel of Fortune (the biggest number on the wheel)!

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.
