Brian Christopher, an influential figure in the gambling industry and a YouTube streamer of land-based casino gambling, specifically slots, has revealed his latest game, which he developed in collaboration with Gaming Arts and his own company BC Ventures, short for Brian Christopher Ventures.
The latest title, World Cruise, was revealed late at night at the Plaza in Las Vegas on March 27, with subsequent launch parties at Yaamava Resort & Casino on March 28, and GratonResort & Casino.
Brian Christopher presented the game in his characteristic style, surrounded by friends and family. As a figure in the gambling industry, the YouTube influencer made a name for himself by offering viewers what they wanted to see – a person traveling around casino resorts in the United States, using their own money to play.
Brian Christopher did not have an easy start, including a rather unpleasant run-in with YouTube, which banned his account in June 2018, accusing the streamer of a "violent or dangerous act" that breached the platform’s content rules.
The accusations were bogus, and the result of what was most likely an algorithmic error, and Brian Christopher restored his account upon appeal. His genuine passion for land-based slot gaming has earned him accolades from fans and casual gamblers and was perhaps part of the reason why YouTube was quick to overturn the erroneous ban.
His videos in general have reached more than 1bn views, and he reaches more than 8m people through his social media channels every month, making him one of the most influential figures in space, and certainly the most popular streamer of slot content on YouTube.
Brian Christopher has mostly chosen to stay away from Twitch, as he has found YouTube to be a platform better fit to his purposes and easier to maintain when it comes to a sprawling content empire.
Because of his popularity, Brian Christoher has partnered with gaming studios that have leveraged his brand and standing within the industry to create unique games, with World Cruise being the latest in the series. He has previously developed Pop’N Pays More! and a sequel with Gaming Arts, slowly building his presence in the slot content space as well.
The new game features a Wheel of World bonus round, which will give players even more opportunities to win besides the core gameplay. The game also features three different bonuses, up from the one bonus used in the last game developed by the collaboration.
