Brian Christopher Slots, the YouTube channel better known among fans as simply BCSlots, is one of the most influential channels for informing players about the state of land-based casinos in the United States.

Unlike other influencers, Brian Christopher (his real name) has earned his name by consistently offering highly entertaining and genuine content, becoming one of the most relatable slot influencers of all time, and he did it all on YouTube.

Today, we take a look at the popular slot streamer, whose YouTube channels, BCSlots, BCBets, and BCSpins have more than 2,000,000 subscribers and generate more than 50,000,000 monthly views. The flagship channel, @BCSlots, already has 733,000 subscribers and more than 623,337,428 views, making it the foremost channel in its category.

Who is Brian Christopher, and why does he matter

Before we plunge into the story of Brian Christopher, the beloved YouTuber, you ought to know a few fun factoids about the man himself. He was actually an actor for a short while, appearing in TV series such as Stock and Awe, The Listener, and The Leftovers. He did not really pursue a career as an actor but decided to combine his love for casino gaming with a project that was meant to do things differently.

And so, in 2016, Brian Christopher Slots launched in earnest on YouTube. In it, a cheerful young man traveled around the United States and visited land-based casinos. In those early days – as today – the slot influencer was only ever using his own money and showed what it is to play around the country.

Brain Christopher never meant to glorify gambling, and immediately won the love of viewers who shared in the visceral fun of watching him play. His YouTube channel became a quick sensation, with the content creator posting both live as well as pre-recorded videos in a bid to establish himself as a genuine creator who shows you slot gameplay for exactly what it is.

Since those early days, Brian Christopher has become a staple in slot space, not only because of his BCSlots channel but also because of his forays into online casino streaming, with BCBets and BCSpins.

He has become such a prominent influencer that the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas commemorated a Brian Christopher gaming area at the property in 2021, featuring some of the content creator’s favorite slot games.

BCSlots YouTube ban and an honest scare

Brian Christopher began to catch the eye of regular slot fans and built a solid following, with his YouTube channel catching metaphorical fire. Subscribers by the hundreds began to show up every month, and the content creator continued to post regularly, bankrolling his exploits out of his pocket.

By 2018, the channel was already well monetized, and although the exact earnings of the channel were not known, Brian Christopher appeared to be playing more. Then disaster struck and YouTube banned BCSlots, flagging the channel for "repeated severe violations," which caught the streamer by surprise.

Fans quickly rallied public support for the channel, and the matter was resolved favorably, but YouTube never offered an explanation or an apology. The ban was attributed to YouTube’s increased reliance on Artificial Intelligence to administer and police content on the platform.

Brian Christopher did not specify how badly he had suffered from the temporary suspension, but he acknowledged that in the wake of the gambling ban, he had to renegotiate casino deals.

The exact financial impact on his channel is not known at the time, but BCSlots quickly continued to climb through the rankings, indicating that there was no further interference from YouTube, and although tight-lipped, the platform had realized its mistake.

How does Brian Christopher make money?

While influencers such as Mikki Mase have often been suspected of using funds that are not their own, Brian Christopher has become an antipode. When people tune in to watch Brian Christopher-made content, they know for a fact that the content creator is playing with his own money and offering the raw authenticity that comes with playing slots.

It is not always glamorous, nor interesting, but it is authentic, and viewers always know where they stand with BCSlots, or any of the other channels. It’s all bankrolled out of pocket, although, over the years, and with more partnerships coming his way, Brian Christopher has been able to certainly alleviate a lot of financial pressure and very possibly end up in the red.

YouTube streaming and content creation

So, how does Brian Christopher make his money? He has several revenue streams. Primarily, there is his YouTube empire, which generates anything between $60 and $1,000 a day from just BCSlots. The estimates are so wide because the tracking website that collects this data cannot exactly determine the amount.

Case studies show that the amounts vary from anything between 40% and 80% of the amount, but it’s often known to exceed these numbers, especially in the case of major streamers. The annual estimates just for BCSlots are anything between $20,000 and $328,000, when Casino Guru News checked.

The earnings for BCSpins are smaller, around $588 - $9,400 annually, and BCBets, which brings up the rear with about $361 and $5,800 annually. Of course, these numbers are gross approximations and must be taken with a grain of salt, as the only person aware of the exact amount is Brian Christopher himself.

Patreon and voluntary donations

The benefits of creating a brand that connects with people are many, but in a purely financial sense, this has translated into a massive following for Brian Christopher on Patreon, where the streamer has amassed more than 2,900 followers.

The exact amount of money generated in this way is once again difficult to determine. However, even a highly conservative estimate would put his total earnings from Patreon monthly at a very comfortable $14,500, or more than $174,000 annually.

Of course, for someone who habitually spends millions of dollars on slots throughout the year, $174,000 is hardly enough to sustain him, but it is a revenue stream that helps. If we try to extrapolate, however, Brian Christopher may have a decent share of subscribers who are paying the mid-tier, which could easily push his Patreon earnings alone above $250,000 annually.

Sponsorships and casino deals

Although the financial details of Brian Christopher’s partnerships are not publicly available, it is fair to assume that there is a monetary incentive for the content creator who streams his content to millions of Americans every month.

Since June 2024, Brian Christopher has been an official ambassador to BetMGM, one of America’s leading iGaming and sports betting platforms, and the partnership is still ongoing.

The partnership involves on-site events, meet-and-greets, and live-streamed casino content as well as amplifying the brand’s responsible gambling messages.

However, these events take place in smoke-free properties, as Brian Christopher is also an ambassador for the American Nonsmokers’ Rights (ANR) Foundation since January 2023. The influencer has also cultivated partnerships with game developers and launched his own original slot games!

Brian Christopher Slots' original games

Most recently, Brian Christopher’s company, BC Ventures, teamed up with Gaming Arts to release the latest game that has been branded after the popular slot streamer & influencer – World Cruise.

The game was revealed at a special event at The Plaza in Las Vegas on March 27, 2025, and the official reveal also featured subsequent launch parties at Yaamava Resort & Casino on March 28 and Graton Resort & Casino.

Previously, Brian Christopher worked with Gaming Arts to launch the ‘Brian Christopher’s Pop ’N Pays More’ game on the vertX Grand cabinet back in 2022.
