As you might be able to interpret from their username, Dave and Marc aren’t your average slots influencers. They’ve earned 64.9k+ subscribers and received more than 6 million views across 476 informative videos that highlight how to create a budget, select games, and walk away.
Unlike prolific high rollers or even low-stake gamblers posting their wins and losses to YouTube, Gamble Smart provides actionable advice for new players (and those looking to get back in the game).
Streamer Bio
According to their interview with NJ Slot Guy on the new SlotsFan podcast, they felt obligated to become positive role models for viewers after seeing an explosion of influencers post-COVID.
More specifically, Dave and Marc didn’t like how typical high rollers “recklessly” handled their budgets. Their shared commitment to safer gambling inspired the pair to launch “Gamble Smart” in late October 2023. Just over 14 months later, they’ve shown no signs of slowing down.

Most Popular Video: How Slot Machines Actually Work
Gamble Smart’s most popular video to date was posted on April 7, 2024. It’s since received 1.94 million views. Marc explains everything from RNG testing and balancing to slot volatility and bonuses. It’s fitting that the duo’s most popular video is dedicated to battling misinformation.
Biggest Win: Gamble Smart Hits a 850X Bet Grand on Top Dollar
Dave and Marc make their preferences clear, citing that smaller bets and larger multipliers are more sustainable than “chasing handpays” with big wagers. True-to-form, they accepted a Top Dollar offer worth 853x the $7.50 spin size. Unbelievably, their final offer resulted in the Grand.
53 seconds of action document a flashing win of $6,480.71, showing the power of discernment.
For gamers who aren’t familiar, “Top Dollar” is just like playing “Deal or No Deal” at the casino.
Community and Giveaways
Dave and Marc aren’t afraid to meet the public, which is always a great sign. Aside from doing a no-holds-barred interview with SlotsFan in October 2024, they host weekly live streams and visit popular casinos on a regular basis. They gladly host usual (albeit impromptu) meet-and-greets.
Most notably, they donated more than $1,100 to The Children’s Army after collecting $450 from altruistic viewers during an August 28th livestream. Not many influencers call attention to major societal issues, so their work to improve the world is nothing short of admirable.
