It’s official. Vegas Matt is the first full-time slots influencer with over one million subscribers on YouTube.
It’s not exactly a surprise as Vegas Matt has been gaining new subs at an unbelievable rate over the last year but it’s still an impressive milestone for the Las Vegas local. It’s also the new benchmark for all other slots channels on YouTube.
While numerous slots influencers have been plugging away for years, Vegas Matt has built his audience at a breakneck pace. Since launching his YouTube channel in late 2022, he’s outpaced the competition with a healthy blend of unmistakable authenticity and hard-won business acumen.
How Did Vegas Matt Rise To Success?
Vegas Matt needs no introduction – this high-rolling aficionado lets his money do the talking for him. Although he’s been gambling since he came of age, he didn’t get the bright idea to launch his own YouTube channel until late 2022. In fact, his son EJ pulled the strings with one TikTok.
Vegas Matt built on that momentum with borderline reckless wagers. From placing $750 spins on Regal Riches to buying every bonus in the casino, he marches to the beat of his own drum. Cash goes a long way, but you can’t put a price on Vegas Matt’s innate originality and charisma.
He gives the impression that he’s simply living life, rather than putting on a show for the crowd. Authenticity and borderline crude humor are the two main ingredients for his continued success.
Throughout his time on YouTube, Vegas Matt has openly shared the ups and downs that come with his favorite hobby. Many high rollers fail to include losing footage, but not him! He makes no apologies for burning bills at the stake, but he encourages his audience to gamble responsibly.
What Sets Vegas Matt Apart From The Pack?
If you couldn’t tell by the signature gold chain hanging around his neck, Vegas Matt’s knees are anything but rickety. This 61-year-old is making the absolute most of his retirement, and he’s got our full attention. Win or lose, Vegas Matt’s raw passion and love for his career shines through.
He’s also made the right moves in terms of sponsorship – over the past year and some change, he’s gotten the opportunity to work with FanDuel Casino. While most of his competition sticks to the slots, Vegas Matt will branch out to enjoy high-limit blackjack, poker, baccarat, and roulette.
Although video poker is a bit different from the real thing, he earned $20,000 during PokerGO’s Celebrity Poker Tour in September 2024. It’s safe to say that Vegas Matt’s time-tested mettle in the high-limit room is a better indicator of his success than his ability to hop on the latest trends.
