Brian Christopher stands by slot machines at the Plaza Casino in Las Vegas. The casino is opening a slots area named for the social media gaming celebrity. Brian Christopher Slots net worth. Brian Christopher Slots is an American YouTube channel that has a net worth of $567,000 dollars as of February 2021.
Brian Christopher, the host of the BCSlots YouTube channel, is one of the biggest slot YouTubers out there.
After trying to become a full-time actor in Hollywood, he has risen to fame in the slot gaming community and even had a Forbes article about him, following his channel being shut down by YouTube in 2018.
With over 206,000,000 views on his channel, Brian is even more popular than his fellow slot gamers, such as Slotlady.
What’s more, Brian is also a shrewd businessman. In early 2021, he opened Brian Christopher Slots at Plaza, a BCSlots branded gaming area at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The venue will, without a doubt, become a place of pilgrimage for fans of the YouTuber.
Start of the Channel
Before becoming a popular Youtuber, Brian had a brief tenure as an actor, playing in such TV series as Stock and Awe and The Listener, while later getting a small part in The Leftovers.
He started the BCSlots channel as a hobby in 2016. However, when the subscribers’ count starter to grow, he recruited more people to work on the channel and is at 323,000 subscribers as of January 2021.
This success is largely attributed to the fact that videos are posted daily. In the videos, Brian is traveling across the US, visiting various casinos, winning, losing, reacting, and regularly live streaming his gameplay.
Another peculiarity is the so-called “Group Pull”, in which the fans that travel with him all bet collectively on a single slot.
Additionally, he has an official fan-club of Rudies, the name he has given to his audience. The club members get access to special live streams and exclusive offers on his merch.
Channel Suspension Controversy
In June 2019, YouTube has suspended his channel, due to Community Guidelines violation in one of his videos. However, the video was the same as others and contained no dangerous acts, to which YouTube was referring to.
The drama around it caused quite a stir and even Forbes author David G. Schwartz has covered it. As Brian said: “For them to turn around and shut me down with zero explanation hurts.”
After filing an appeal only to be denied, he received a short email from YouTube saying that his channel was reinstated after a re-review. No apology or explanation was given by YouTube.
He is now uncertain about the channel’s future, as YouTube might just do it again at some point. Even though he is going stronger than ever and the Rudies can support him off of YouTube if anything goes wrong, not being sure about his passion and livelihood can be discouraging.
Nevertheless, Brian Christopher doesn’t seem to stop. The same night his channel was back up, he won a major $10,000 jackpot, which you can watch below:
Patreon — How to Become a Rudie
As mentioned above, Brian Christopher, just as many other YouTubers, has a name for his fans — rudies. They can be regularly seen accompanying him in the videos or during his slot cruise. Some of the fans are his Patreon supporters, who get certain rewards by pledging monthly donations.
The levels of support start at $5, which provides the patron a possibility of a private casino live stream from Brian, early access to his events and access to the patron-only Facebook group. Some other Patreon perks from BCSlots include:
- Celebratory Rudies Chip on each Anniversary
- Follow from Brian on social media — $10
- Co-Producer credit on all videos — $50
- Guaranteed access to any Brian Christopher’s group event — $100
- Private VIP casino tour with Brian every 6 months of being a patron at that level — $500
- Senior executive producer position — $1,200
COVID-19 Casino Tour
Brian Christopher made it to the front pages of several news websites in the summer of 2020 when he organized a tour of 21 casinos during the coronavirus outbreak.
The goal of the tour was to see what measures casinos were taking in order to ensure employee and patron safety during the pandemic. The blogger shared his findings through his official website.
At the end of the tour, Brian concluded that many casinos followed government rules perfectly, while others were either overzealous or reckless.

Brian Christopher Slots at Plaza
In early 2021, Brian and the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas announced a trailblazing joint project that forever changed the relationship between slot bloggers and gambling venues.
The project is called Brian Christopher Slots at Plaza, a special BCSlots branded gaming area at the Plaza Hotel.
It features sixteen of Brian’s favorite slots, including such land-based hits as Cleopatra II, Coyote Moon, Dollar Storm, Lock It Link Huff N’ Puff, and Lightning Zap.
This development is monumental as it is showing that offline gambling venues are paying increased attention to Twitch slot streamers and casino YouTubers.
Jonathan Jossel, the CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino, said that his company believed that social media influencers like Brian Christopher have completely transformed the way the general public views slot machine gaming.
With the ability to share your wins and losses with millions of people at a tap of a button, offline gambling is becoming as social as its online counterpart.
The company believes that, by opening a BCSlots themed section of their casino, they will be able to attract some Brian’s 320,000+ subscribers to their venue.
And the company’s gamble seems to have already paid out, with Jossel stating that the BCSlots area has already brought a lot of new business to the casino.
Brian Christopher Net Worth
Naturally, Brian does not disclose how much he makes from videos on YouTube. Nevertheless, it’s safe to assume that the income from playing slot machines alone is enough to keep playing them, seeing the amount of videos where relatively big wins take place.
The said YouTube channel would not bring too much income, however, as gambling videos cannot be monetized. The only income here would be donations made during live streams.
A lion’s share of his net worth would obviously come from Patreon. The BCSlots channel is supported by 1949 patrons (updated Septrmber 2020). Considering that the smallest pledge level starts at $5/month and that there are two Executive Producers ($500 pledge), 6 Associate Producers ($100), 11 Co-Producers ($50) mentioned in his latest video descriptions, Brian is bound to get around $10,000 a month from Patreon alone.
This doesn’t include Brian’s merch in his online store or special events, such as the slot machine cruise or Rudies Weekend 2020.
It is important to note, however, that most of the money goes to content creation. As Brian himself puts it on his Patreon page, editors, marketing and social managers, assistants as well as photographer and videographers are required to produce the videos. On top of that, traveling expenses for casino trips cost a dime as well.
Considering the factors above, most of Brian Christopher’s Patreon earnings likely go into his online store or his channel.

🏳️🌈 In celebration of LGBT Pride Month, we at Bob Casino are taking a look at how popular casino gambling YouTuber Brian Christopher, who is one of the very few openly gay members of the casino streaming scene, met his future husband Marco.
Brian runs an incredibly popular slot machine gambling channel called Brian Christopher Slots. The channel has a whopping 260,000 subscribers and 9 of its videos have over a million views.
But all the success in the world wouldn’t mean a thing for Brian if he didn’t have his husband Marco next to him. So let’s take a look at how they met, as originally told by Brian himself. Get ready for a story filled with excitement, emotional twists and turns, and what has to be one of the cheesiest pick-up lines that actually worked!
A Night Out with Friends in London
Brian Christopher met his future husband 16 years ago. At the time, the future casino streaming legend lived in Toronto, which is the capital of the Canadian province of Ontario. One Friday evening, he got together with his best friend and an ex-boyfriend. Together, the three decided to go clubbing to London, Ontario, a city 200 kilometres away from the province’s capital.
After a 2 hour drive, the trio walked into the city’s only gay bar and danced away like there was no tomorrow. They were having a great time and the night was going great. And then it suddenly got even better.
Love at First Sight
The future slot gambling legend saw a handsome young man nursing a drink alone at the bar. That man was Marco. Christopher immediately pointed out Marco to his best friend and commented on how cute he was.
In response, the friend smiled at Brian and told him to go talk to him. But Brian couldn’t do it. He was too afraid. Seeing that Brian couldn’t muster up the courage to approach Marco on his own, the friend decided to give him a gentle push. He gave him an ultimatum: if Brian didn’t come up to Marco, then he would do it himself. That gentle nudge changed the rest of Brian Christopher’s life.
Smooth Pick Up Line
The future slot machine gambling superstar went to the bathroom and thought for a long time about how to make his approach. But as he actually neared his target, his brain went completely blank, so he said the first thing that came into his mind, which was: “Why aren’t you on the dance floor?”
Marco looked back at him and said, “Because nobody asked me to dance.”
Having melted the ice, Brian Christopher invited him to come and join him and his friend on the dance floor. The four danced all night and had an amazing time.
Brian and Marco hit it off immediately. Brian learned that Marco only moved to Canada a few days before. A student from a university in France, Marco moved to Ontario for an internship as part of his university studies. He was staying at a hotel and would be moving into an apartment of his own the following day. Seeing an opportunity to meet Marco once again, the popular casino streamer offered to help Marco move his belongings. Marco agreed and told him to meet him outside his hotel at 10:00 AM.
A Moment of Panic: Brian Christopher Gets Stood Up?
At 10 AM next morning, Brian Christopher drove up to Marco’s hotel and waited. Five minutes passed. Then ten. Then twenty. Half an hour later, it occurred to Brian that he was being stood up. He was about to drive away, but decided instead to walk up to the receptionist and ask if they could call Marco. Perhaps Marco simply forgot about their arrangement? But when the receptionist asked him for more information, Brian realized he didn’t even know Marco’s last name. It seemed that all hope was lost.
Then, the doors of a nearby elevator opened and Marco emerged with a smile. Marco never intended to stand him up. He was just late. And as Brian would find out in the future, being late was just a part of Marco being… Marco. That morning, Brian Christopher helped Marco move into his new apartment. Soon after, they started dating.
Long-Term Relationship & History
Brian Christopher moved to a city near London soon after to live with his sister so he could save up for a grand tour of Europe. This change of location allowed him to see Marco more often.
After dating for about half a year, Brian travelled to Europe and toured the continent for 6 months. This was probably the most difficult part of their relationship as maintaining a connection long distance is very difficult. Nevertheless, true love prevailed and they moved to Paris to start their new life together.

And the rest is history. The couple are now happily married, and fans of the Brian Christopher Slots channel regularly see Marco featured in his slot machine gambling streams and videos.
