It’s been a banner year for slots videos on YouTube. Channels like Vegas Matt, Lady Luck HQ, and Mr. Handpay earned tens of millions of views with plenty of sensational jackpots along the way.
SlotsFan has been there every step of the way and highlighted some of the best slots action you’ll find with our weekly Respin and monthly Power Rankings. Today, we’re zooming out to digest this year’s most popular slot videos.
We spent hours researching five videos that kept readers talking from New Years’ til Christmas:
1. Vegas Matt Spins $100,000 To Keep His Promise – 5.4M Views
As SlotsFan’s (and YouTube’s) top-ranked gaming influencer, Vegas Matt needs no introduction.
He skyrocketed to the heights of mainstream popularity in just under a year. We’ve watched him achieve unimaginable levels of clout, turning from a professional poker player to a pro streamer.
Initially known for playing the World Series of Poker, he’s quickly re-inventing himself as YouTube’s most prolific slot creator. In true degen fashion, he put a new Porsche at stake with $750 spins on Regal Riches. 5.4 million viewers watched him blow $100k.
One commenter summarized Matt’s crushingly popular experience: “It’s nice to see that slots at $750 a pull suck just as much as they do at 75 cents a pull.”
Another commenter replied, “Dude is slapping away my mortgage every 2 seconds for 37 minutes straight. That’s how he does it!
2. Vegas Matt’s Son “Cracks The Code” in Sin City – 2.8M Views
Vegas Matt’s most popular video might center around his biggest year-end loss to date, but his bankroll isn’t always in the dumps. Back in January of this year, he and his son EJ strategized a way to “always” win at slots. Obviously, we at SlotsFan take click-bait-y titles with a bit of salt.
As any good family man would do, Vegas Matt has successfully gotten his son in the spotlight. The dynamic duo gleaned 2.8 million views following their lucky session on Buffalo Ultimate. If we’re being honest, EJ changed into a genius or an idiot depending on the luck of each spin.
Matt’s perspective was a bit flawed, but we’re happy to have a high-ranking influencer that isn’t afraid to show tens of thousands of dollars in losses before walking out of Vegas with a payday.
3. Brettski Blows $2,500 Per Spin on Dragon Link – 2.1M Views
Brettski came from humble beginnings – to the untrained eye, he’s just another college kid with a crippling gambling addiction. In reality, every video is calculated to break YouTube’s algorithm.
He panders exclusively to high-limit players that can’t necessarily afford to indulge their habits. When you throw Brettski and his millionaire friends in the high-limit room with zero supervision, something crazy is bound to happen.
For context, they spent $2,500 per spin across two high-limit Dragon Link machines at the same time. The pair burned through upwards of $1 million in just under 19 minutes. While Brettski and David were losing big for the first 10 minutes, a $90,000 bonus prize put them back in the game.
Still, their most impressive win came in the form of a $272,750 handpay. At the end of the video, Brettski claimed they were down $400,000 before making it back hand-over-fist. Don’t try this at home!
4. Gamble Smart Explains Insider Slot Knowledge – 1.9M Views
If you’re not a huge fan of the high-limit content that’s been taking over YouTube this year, you may resonate with Gamble Smart – unlike our usual band of big spenders, Gamble Smart has gained online recognition by showing low-limit players how to maximize their existing budgets.
Dave and Marc boast decades of combined industry experience. These retired slot technicians won YouTube’s algorithm with a 24-minute sprawl explaining RNG testing, volatility, free spins, balancing, progressives, bonus rounds, advantage play, and how to use this info to your benefit.
Whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been hitting the casino for years, Dave and Marc are privy to insider information. That’s why they earned 1.9 million views and counting since April.
5. NG Slot Max Bets His Way to Record Jackpots – 1.9M Views
NG Slot is no stranger to betting big in Vegas, but even the most prolific high rollers are taken by surprise sometimes. NG plays around with $10,000 like it’s a hundred-dollar bill, so I knew his claim of a “life-changing jackpot” at $500/spin was going to be absolutely unfathomable.
He was at the Peppermill when he usurped his own personal record on high-limit Dragon Link with the game’s Grand Prize. As NG Slot has witnessed a thousand times before, he triggered Dragon Link’s “Hold & Win” feature by collecting six bonus fireballs on the same lucky wager.
He filled the 3 x 5 grid with fifteen orbs, unlocking a Grand Jackpot prize of $148,493.68 on top of four Mini Bonuses, the Major, and several massively profitable bonus orbs. By the time it was all said and done, NG Slot walked away from the Peppermill $253,796 richer than he was prior.
Honorable Mention: The Big Jackpot Plays Supersized Slot Machines in Sin City
This one is a YouTube short (the rest are full videos) but we had to mention it. The Big Jackpot, otherwise known as Raja Slots on YouTube, earned 54 million views while playing a colossally-sized machine for just $5 per spin. Ironically, Scott is used to spending tens of thousands of dollars in one night. He was caught in the wild on “Colossal Diamonds.”
Each column looked to be around as tall as Raja as he jumped around the casino floor like a man with a mission. But one thing is unclear – why on Earth did the machine need to be that massive? It’s a colossal (ha) waste of space and energy, but it makes for good entertainment.
