Streamer Bio
When Gaming & Gambling launched his YouTube channel in September 2014, he became the first male VGT slot player to make it big. For just shy of 10 years, he’s been visiting Oklahoma’s most popular venues and hunting for red screens in hopes of winning huge jackpot handpays.
Because of his proximity to Oklahoma, which is the only state with non-tribal casinos that offer VGT slots, Gaming & Gambling quickly filled a niche left untouched by most other influencers. He lives and breathes old-school, three-reel action right down to pulling the physical slot lever.
He’s come a long way since uploading his first-ever video on September 27, 2014. Boosting his production value paved the way to mainstream success for Gaming & Gambling. He used to upload 3-second clips of his biggest wins after the fact, but he transitioned to long-form content.
Still, he never lost the original premise of his channel – showing off huge bonuses, flashing red screens, and ginormous jackpot handpays. While his first several videos only got hundreds of views, it took him just 18 months to break the six-figure view barrier with his most popular video.
In March 2016, he pieced together the winning recipe to present his audience with a six and a half minute roller coaster ride on the Crazy Cherry VGT slot. He received 161k+ views, but it would take another five years before he toed the line of 100,000+ views once again in 2021.
Fast-forwarding to 2024, his popularity isn’t quite where it used to be. However, he’s retained his influencer status for nearly a decade, and that’s something to be applauded. As of right now, he averages between 3k and 4.5k views per video.
If he keeps up his current trajectory, 10,000+ YouTube subscribers is well within arm’s reach.
Channel Highlights
Gaming and Gambling uploaded his most popular video to YouTube over eight years ago on March 10, 2016. Since then, it’s received 120,399+ views and counting. Although this video is only six and a half minutes long, there’s loads of action to take in – and multiple red screens.
The clip starts with Gaming and Gambling betting $5 per spin on the Crazy Cherry VGT slot. He’s working with $100 in casino credits, and he gets a flashing red screen almost immediately. That red screen also fills out a handful of numbers on the bingo card at the top of the machine.
A quick, $40 win puts him back on the drawing board. He then whittles his bankroll to $90 before getting another flashing red screen, giving him $60 in winnings. This cycle of small wins followed by equivalent losses continues for a while until he connects three “BAR” symbols.
The flashing red screen is quickly followed by a $150 win before he connects three double BAR symbols for an even heftier prize. His bankroll skyrockets from $250 up to $450, leaving a $200 profit. At this point, he decides not to look a gift horse in the mouth by wrapping up the session.
Biggest Win: March 16, 2015: $16,000 on Mr. Money Bags (Casino Unknown)
This clip may as well be a screenshot, but it’s still documented proof that Gaming and Gambling hit for $16,000 on the Mr. Money Bags VGT slot. This game requires players to put up $100 per spin, so you’d better believe the jackpot handpays are gonna be hefty.
Schedule: New Videos
Gaming and Gambling doesn’t follow a consistent posting schedule, but he tends to upload new content two or three days a week. There’s no set time when he usually posts, but we’d suggest checking his channel between 10 AM and 4 PM EST if you want to be the first to watch his vids.
Unfortunately, because Gaming and Gambling doesn’t have social media, channel updates are relegated to the “Community” section of his YouTube page. Subscribing ensures that you won’t miss a notification.
Community and Giveaways
After combing through the entirety of Gaming and Gambling’s YouTube “Community” page, we concluded that he doesn’t host any giveaways or meet-and-greets. However, he makes a point of being interactive with his fans. If he changes his mind, YT subscribers will be the first to know.
