## Summary

In this live casino vlog, the creator plays Phoenix Link and other slot machines at Coushatta Casino, sharing bankroll management tips and announcing giveaway winners. The video blends gameplay with personal anecdotes and practical advice for low-budget slot players.

### Key Points

- **Bankroll Management** [02:02] — The creator suggests that with a $1,000 budget, you can play $250 on four machines, betting no more than $5 and no less than $2 per spin. His general rule is to bet no more than 2% of your bankroll on high volatility games and no less than half a percent.
- **Accepting Losses** [02:41] — The creator mentions that he lost money today but is still up overall. He emphasizes that it's important to know when to walk away, even if you're even.
- **Favorite Games** [04:53] — The creator names Dragon Link as his favorite game because it's consistent and has been around for 10 years. He also mentions Wolf Run, Gold, and Cleopatra as games he doesn't mind losing money on.
- **Giveaway Winners** [07:13] — The creator announces the winners of his monthly giveaway: Melissa Heath, Tortuga Lisa, Jackpot Angel, and Lori B 5088. He plans to contact them to arrange their prizes.
- **Biggest Win** [09:00] — The creator shares that his biggest win was $45,000, which he used to buy his mom a car. He also mentions that he posts videos of his wins.
- **Expected Return** [12:12] — The creator explains that the more you play, the better you understand expected return, and that almost all games have similar returns. He also notes that every bonus is a good bonus.
- **Choosing the Right Casino** [14:41] — The creator emphasizes that playing at casinos with better payouts, like Coushatta, significantly increases your chances of success. He drives 6-7 hours to get there.
- **Walking Away** [15:49] — The creator reiterates that once you're above your starting point, it's okay to leave even. You don't have to keep playing just because you put money in the machine.
- **Personal Background** [19:02] — The creator explains that he is a full-time firefighter and in the National Guard, which limits his time for casino trips and content creation. He also mentions that he doesn't use YouTube money to gamble.
- **Final Advice** [34:23] — The creator's biggest takeaway: you can't guarantee winning, but you can guarantee how much you lose. Set limits, take small wins, and know when to walk away.

A lot of hand pays going on here in the high limits room at Coushatta. Hey there, if I had a $1,000 budget, I mean it really depends on how
comfortable you are with that. You know, if you had a $1,000 budget, you could do 250 into four machines. You know, bet no 250 into four machines. You know, bet no more than five, no less than really $2.

Non-good line hits. All right. people who won. Now, I just got to find people who won. Now, I just got to find them.
All right. There we go. You know, I really like it really did $30 of $30 worth of spins, but probably did 100 bucks worth of spins. Um
the old school IGT games that I'm always talking about. There's no progressive. Uh so, you get better line hits. This one will have a lot more dead spins. The the line hits will be pretty good, actually. So, it's a game that I really,
really like. It's almost at every casino. A lot of the bartops is where you're going to find these kind of games. All right. So, we got two more people left, right? And so, I
might as well just say who they are. No point holding y'all hostage for too long, right? Uh we got Jackpot Angel. Jackpot Angel is our next winner.
and Lori B 5088. I said, I'm going to get in contact with all of you and uh get your information
so that we can coordinate getting you everything. Y'all, I appreciate everyone. Um this has been an incredible journey. You know, like I said, I'm sorry I don't get to travel as much
work, still got to pay the bills, unfortunately. Uh but, it's it's so amazing to be able to meet everybody, to talk to everybody, to see all the comments, and you know, my goal is to help everyone
Uh cuz I work for my money. I got to work really hard for my money and, you know, it's a job that may kill me. And so every dollar counts.
small bankroll and I don't want to see people do that. I want people to leave happy, leave with money, leave even, or at least at a minimum lose less. Um
and I mean as you see we've been playing probably for an hour down under 30, but we've been doing $2, $2.50 spins. Like you can sustain. It's just how you go about doing it. Let's
how you go about doing it. Let's move actually. off with one more game and we'll call it there.
for the free play. Super awesome. Y'all didn't have to do that. Um Wow, this seat is incredibly warm. The free play? This random seat that I sat on is just
warm. Um So I'm not partnered with Coushatta, not because I know they have a
casino in Louisiana. They've got a great game selection. They get a lot of the newest games in. And, you know, their whole philosophy is back to
to the casino that they win at. So really one of my favorite places to come. come. So we got 30, 60, 90 and then
I'm getting Helios cats. He's a big cat guy. Three of those will get us into the bonus round.
no, you lost 1,600. I'm not going to lie. I lost probably 2,000 today, but that was just because I was taking big swings. Um you're not going to win all the time.
lose all of my money. That was just some of what I played with. always do it with profit. So don't worry. I'm
So don't worry. I'm still doing quite well for the year. I just like the music in Kitty Glitter. It's so fun.
do more giveaways. You know, started. Uh half. And whenever I get to 100,000
subscribers, we're going to do another big giveaway.
you don't know, goes to my mom. I don't use it. I don't use any of the money from YouTube to gamble with. I gamble with my own money. It's all winnings and you know, money that I've set aside.
never used any money from YouTube to actually gamble with. little bit away from my mom, but whatever. She's She has plenty. She's
whatever. She's She has plenty. She's good. I I take I take care of her. Oh, yeah, well, there's a good one. We could say meowsers.
I know, we'll look at the subscriber list. I know, we'll be there. Hopefully. list. I know, we'll be there. Hopefully. You know, crazy and every time he's somewhere, you know, our our schedules just don't
seem to align. I wish I could. Um this is his full-time job now, so he has a lot more freedom than I do.
I got I still I still got to show up to work and pay the bills. uh no, like Brandi's um from my understanding is very much an introvert, and stuff. Uh and I'm a small fish. Like guys, I'm
a very small fish in a very big pond. Come on. Not nice. Hey, there we go. Um
people see them as influent and so forth As influencers, I am not. I'm just a a content creator. I make videos that I hope you all like, that you all enjoy. hope you all like, that you all enjoy. She loves the car.
here. I've been waiting for them to get it. it. Oh, dropped that third one.
Okay. What's the catch? time now. Uh, again, I appreciate everybody. Thank you all for your continued support. Sorry about the technical issues. Hey,
cheeky. How's it going? Cheeky, you missed it all. I'm sorry. I'm logging Um, sorry about the technical issues. Wi-Fi's not the best here. Uh,
thank you again. I hope to do more of these giveaways. Uh, it's going to be a again. I've got military training coming up. Uh, so I'm going to be out in the field for quite a bit. Got some great videos coming out. I hope you
enjoy them. Check out the ones that I just posted yesterday if you haven't Uh, biggest takeaway, We can't guarantee we're going to win every single time, but we can guarantee
how much we allow ourselves to lose. So, set those limits. Micro wins, they add up, right? Taking the small wins, knowing when to walk away, those are key, right? And choose a casino that has a better house, smaller
house hold, that's kind of one of the the key factors, too. Congratulations to all of the winners. So happy for you. Thank you again, and I hope everyone has a wonderful, wonderful night.
a wonderful, wonderful night. All right, bye.
