Frequently Asked Questions to BC

Where are you from? I'm from Toronto, Canada and currently live in Palm Springs, California, USA.

Do you have a job? Brian Christopher Slots is my full-time business. I employ a small team of amazing people to keep up with all of the work it takes to keep the channel running, and bring everyone unparalleled experiences!

How much money do you gamble with and where do you get it from?  Money is a delicate matter as it is very personal. I will say however that I am very smart with money. I strictly use an entertainment budget to play with, and understand how slot machines work (more on that below). A lot of my money gets recycled from previous trips and the key is knowing when to cash out.

How do you always seem to WIN?  You may not have watched enough of my videos! Playing slot machines is a losing sport. If you are playing to win money, you will always lose. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. ANYONE. Slot machines are very sophisticated computers that are designed to make the casino money, that is all. Slot machines don't care about you - they care about their client, the casino! Casinos do care about you, because you make them money and so they'll give you free stays, food and perks to keep you coming back (it works). The best advice I can give you is to play with an entertainment budget and not try to get rich. Most people only play to get a "Hand Pay" Jackpot. That's a clear way to lose. I suggest you play until you're up a little bit of money. That could be $20 or $50, and then move on. Stick those small winnings in your Winners Bank. If you are up on a machine, you've already beat the system so you better get off!

Can I play with you?  Check our events page to Join A Group Pull! Of course, if you ever run into me in person, I'll give you a souvenir that I've created just for you ;)

What machine should I play?  For the best odds of winning, go to the more expensive denomination machine. The higher the denomination (not bet), the higher the payout percentage. This doesn't guarantee a win at all however. If you have a small budget, then bet low and choose a low volatility type machine.

You tell us not to play certain games because they pay out less, but then we see you play them. What gives?  Haha, as I've said, I'm using my entertainment budget, so if a particular machine entertains me more or if I want to try my luck on an impossible win (Megabucks) - I'll give it a shot. I definitely won't spend as much time on these ones as others, so I keep it to 10% of my total play or so. I also feel the need to show my viewers a wide variety of fun slot machines.

"That machine was hot!" or "It was due to pay any second!"  These are common misconceptions about slot machines. There is no such thing as a hot or cold slot. There are streaks you can go on, but that is merely luck. Most slot machines are based on RNGs (Random Number Generators). Each time you press SPIN, the RNG stops moving and lands on a sequence of numbers that equates to a certain position of the reels resulting in a win or a loss. So if you experience a "cold streak" - well, your timing is simply off!

​I want to start a slot channel like you. How do I start?  I suggest you decide why you want to create one. They take a lot of time and a LOT of money invested before you can start monetizing them or trying to make a profit. If it's for fun, then enjoy! If it's for profit, watch this How To Video with all of my tips.

Last but not least, please take all these notes with a grain of salt. Obviously you could ignore all my insights and win a jackpot, or follow each one of them and lose it all. Slots are a game of chance and the odds are rarely in our favor...
