Bobby Rivas, who’s better known as “Bluffin’ Bob” on YouTube and socials, makes no apologies for spending his money the way he wants at the casino. While his gambling tactics aren’t suited to the risk-averse, he’s a pro when it comes to recording high-adrenaline videos in Las Vegas. 

Bluff’s spent the past year and some change camping out at El Cortez, The Venetian, and other high-profile venues in Sin City. 
He’s gotten off to a fantastic start with 479,000+ subscribers and more than 392 million views across 843 videos, proving that the only thing bigger than his bankroll is his work ethic. We did the research to find his biggest wins and uncover plenty of hidden details about this influencer.

Streamer Bio

Bluffin’ Bob exploded onto the YouTube slots scene, and he studied the rise of other popular influencers like Vegas Matt and Brettski before starting “Bluffin’ Bob” in May 2024. He initially grew his channel by posting three short-form videos per day on YouTube and other socials. 

He also brazenly allowed “clippers” to post his content as they wished, hoping that the payoff would be rapid recognition. Bob’s calculations were dead-on, and by the end of his first month as a streamer, he’d accumulated 100,000 subscribers. 

This is an astronomical feat by anyone’s expectations, and his growth hasn’t slowed down at all since the initial “boom” that propelled him to popularity. He’s come a long way since getting his first shout-out from Brettski – the pair are now frequent collaborators and close friends. 

He’s made the most of his newfound success while building a strong presence on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Kick. As he continues posting daily videos and solidifying his presence on the Las Vegas Strip, we believe his authenticity will carry him to 500k+ subscribers before the summer’s out.

Channel Highlights 

Most Popular Video: The BEST gambling session on YouTube ($7,000 group pull)

Bluffin’ Bob pulled up to the Cosmopolitan with seven of his friends, and Brettski was in tow. All the guys pooled their funds together, sacrificing $1,000 a piece to split the winnings eight ways. 

(Mateo and Tanner only put in $500 a piece, but who’s counting?) 

Brettski landed an early, unexpected $3,330 handpay on Pinball. Wheel of Fortune was next on the itinerary, but $400 came and went. The group wasn’t able to film while playing table games, so they settled for word-of-mouth updates. 

Jeff lost $1,000 playing blackjack, and Mateo and Tanner lost $1,000 on roulette. Then, Austin saved the night with an $8,500 win on Top Dollar before the squad went over to El Cortez. Bob added $2,000 to the group winnings pile on craps, and the whole team ran up $4k on blackjack.

By the time they finished their 45-minute excursion at two different casinos, all eight of them had pooled together $17,000. Each person got $2,400, with the exception of Tanner and Mateo, who got $1,200 a piece. That’s a $1,400 profit per person (and a $700 profit for Tanner and Mateo). 

It’s no wonder Bluff ran up 786,135 views and 8.9k likes since posting the video on Oct. 9, 2024.

Biggest Win

Bluff’s biggest win at the casino happened while playing single-deck BJ. He split $8,800 into two $4,400 hands. He was dealt a 19 and a 17 against the dealer’s 3 upcard. She turned over the next card, which happened to be a 10. 

When she hit again, she drew a Jack of Spades – bringing her total to 23. That was all it took for Bluffin’ Bob to pocket $8,800 in just under a minute.

Community and Giveaways 

Bluff doesn’t host any social media giveaways, but he’s built a community on TikTok and YT. As he continues growing in size, popularity and reach, we hope to watch him give back to his fans! 

Quick Facts

  • Before Bobby started recording YouTube videos, he worked as an automotive mechanic in Las Vegas and Dallas, TX. Eventually, he moved to Arizona and decided he needed something different – that’s how “Bluffin’ Bob” came to life. 
  • In a past life, Bobby used to ride Razor scooters professionally. He’s also competed in Nitro Circus and has even stayed at Travis Pastrana’s house. 
  • Bobby describes himself as a “degenerate gambler” and attributes his love for poker and blackjack to his parents, both of whom worked as dealers at the casino. He also borrows inspiration from Brettski and Vegas Matt
  • Bobby is adamant that he’s never paid for ads, and he explains that his early growth to 100k+ subscribers in a month came from leveraging short-form content across socials. 
  • Bobby has another YouTube channel with his girlfriend, Daym – the candid couple posts life commentary, travel vlogs, and an occasional trip to the casino on @BobbyandDaym.

YouTube Schedule

While Bobby initially grew to fame by posting three YouTube shorts a day, he’s backed off the intensity just a smidge. 

At the same time, he hasn’t let up on the gas pedal too much – he posts one new video every day at 9 AM PST, and there are no signs of Bobby slowing down any time soon. 

He also goes live in Vegas several times a week, showing that not all of his long-form content is pre-recorded. We’re not sure how he comes up with new and exciting ideas on a regular basis, but his hard work is paying dividends in the present moment.
