I would absolutely love to know what agreement Sarah has with that shit hole casino (El Cortez) she plays at. After reading that these slot channels are possibly break even after Youtube revenue minus Gambling losses, I think it is crucial a deal is negotiated to where you get back your theoretical loss. As a casino, you bring in so many followers from a slot channel that has their “home base” out of your location. I think eventually casinos are going to start doing this with YouTube slot creators (Possibly they already have). I think once it’s known one of the big slot creators got this type of deal, it will become the norm. By giving the creator back their expected loss, it’s not costing you as a casino anything, and the returns are huge due to the customers that come in just for her. Once another casino does this, Sarah will likely ditch El Cortez, and be exclusive with another property.
From a business perspective it seems they would run promotions with her, but specifically “Come play live with Sarah” she may have killed any potential of that by bringing on victor. I really can’t see El Cortez drawing anything less than 200 people for a meet and greet with Sarah. Casinos are marketing geniuses, they can earn revenue from it. A hotel package with free play. Average 200 people at $200 spent per person at the casino is $40,000. You do that 6 to 12 times per year and it’s not to shabby, the casino is also earning new customers that probably never previously thought about staying at El Cortez, and it virtually cost you nothing. It’s free advertising.
On a 92% RTP (Return to player machine), 8% house edge, if your playing a $1 machine with $3 max credits, it’s costing you about .24 cents per spin. At 15 spins per minute or 900 spins per hour is an expected theoretical loss of $216 per hour! That’s just a dollar machine. People think 15 spins a minute is a lot, well not really, watch these degens, many are even faster. To lose $7,000 per month is about 32.4 hours. This is only a dollar machine at about 8.1 hours per week. It really shows how fast this money can go playing slots.
If I was head of marketing for an off strip casino, I would lock in deals with several of these slot You-tubers. Very lucrative, and costing you almost nothing. I don’t think this is plausible for strip or other luxury properties, but down town Vegas - I love the idea.
