Streamer Bio
Neil Ottesen hasn’t centered his entire life around hitting big wins at California’s most popular casinos. A cursory LinkedIn search reveals that he’s the Head of Staffing and Training at a law firm in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, and YouTube has been nothing more than a hobby.
Still, he’s been recording and uploading slots gameplay videos to his YouTube channel since March 2011. His first-ever video was filmed at San Manuel Casino, and it showed the results of his max bet bonus on the Silver Sword slot machine. Over the years, it racked up 24.7k+ views.
Unfortunately, his gameplay videos wouldn’t break the 1,000-view mark for another three years. His channel also experienced a lull from 2014 to 2016 until he started achieving 10k – 20k views per upload! Finally, his informational video about slot strategy made it big with 2.2 million views.
His content has averaged 7.5k to 10k views per video since 2018, but occasional uploads have shattered the 100,000-view mark. Six years later, he’s riding the wave of mainstream popularity. As we progress through 2024, we anticipate that he’ll earn another 10k+ YouTube subscribers.

Neil’s most popular video was filmed way back in June of 2016. Interestingly enough, his channel wouldn’t take off for another two years. Nonetheless, Neil’s concise explanation of how he makes money playing slot machines has earned 2.22+ million views. Of course, he throws in some gameplay.
He explains the importance of not playing leftover five-dollar bills and singles from his tickets. Instead, he uses a new $20 bill to purchase more bet credits. A penny saved is a penny earned.
