Clocking in at over 196,000 YouTube subscribers, NG Slot is one of the most popular casino video bloggers in the world. To date, NG’s channel has accumulated a staggering 157,000,000+ views as of May 2020. And his most popular video has been viewed over 1,700,000 times.
His success isn’t accidental. NG attracted his audience with a combination of a charismatic personality, high video quality, and a down-to-earth vlogging style. NG Slot isn’t a slouch when it comes to marketing, either. His thumbnails are eye-catching. His video titles grab the viewers’ attention and make them want to watch.
Let’s find out more about this Los Angeles YouTube sensation!
NG Slot uploaded his first video on Feb 19, 2017. The video was called Buffalo Grand Slot Machine Live Play Max Bet. In it, the future YouTube sensation tried his luck on the Buffalo Grand slot machine.
It’s easy to see that this was a first attempt. It’s a simple camera recording of a slot machine gaming session, without any of NG’s signature traits. He only plays on one machine. He doesn’t show us around the casino he’s in. And he doesn’t wow us with his energetic personality. In fact, he doesn’t even show his face:
But we all have to start somewhere. The fact that his very first attempt didn’t turn out perfect didn’t discourage him. NG continued to upload consistently. With time, he learned all of the tricks of the vlogging trade and developed his own, unique style. Now, just a few short years later, his videos have been watched over 157 million times and he was awarded YouTube Silver Play Button for surpassing 100,000 subscribers.
I am proud of getting my YouTube Silver Play Button. Thank you to YouTube for giving us an opportunity to be a creator. @ytcreators@TeamYouTubepic.twitter.com/VEralMjBkv

And it doesn’t look like the growth of his channel will stop anytime soon. On an average month, NG’s channel gains over 6,000 new subscribers and around 7,170,000 views.
NG is quite clearly proud of his community. His social media is full of posts praising his fans for their dedication and continued support. And the liking appears to be mutual. It’s no secret that the comment sections of most YouTubers are filled with a lot of negativity. This isn’t the case with NG Slot. If you were to scroll down under one of NG’s videos, you would find nothing but support and encouragement.
NG Slot’s most popular video was uploaded in May 2019. It’s called “Biggest Handpay Jackpot On YOUTUBE HISTORY” and has managed to amass close to 1,500,000 views.
As we mentioned before, the success of the NG Slot YouTube channel can be attributed to several key factors. The most important one is undoubtedly NG’s undeniable charisma, energy, and love of casino slots. He loves what he’s doing and his excitement is downright infectious. NG’s informal, down-to-earth vlogging style makes his videos a pleasure to watch. It almost feels like you’re going to a casino with a friend. And his good production quality, eye-catching thumbnails, and click-inducing video titles don’t hurt either.
But that’s just part of the story.
NG Slot is a true workaholic. He uploads one or two videos every single day, and he’s been doing that for years. And since his content is centered around casino slots, doing so isn’t cheap either. In January 2020, NG Slot played through over $50,000 USD worth of spins.
On his channel, NG plays a wide variety of casino slot machines, including:
Love seeing YouTubers win big? Then we have a treat for you!
We’ve watched through NG Slot’s back catalog of video and found the five biggest wins ever to grace NG Slot’s channel. Here they are, ranked from smallest to largest:
A relatively recent entry on this list, the video was uploaded on January 22, 2021. Narek was playing the Triple Double Gold 3 slot machine with a $75 Max Bet when he got lucky and won a huge jackpot.
On May 29, 2019, NG Slot went to one of his favorite casinos to play the Buffalo Gold Wonder 4 TALL FORTUNES Slot Machine. After he played for a while, he pressed the spin button and was so lucky that he set a YouTube record for the biggest handpay jackpot in YouTube history.
While the record has been surpassed since then, the $15,757.00 jackpot is nothing to scoff at.
The Dragon Cash slot is one of the most popular game machines out there. And for a very good reason. When it pays, it PAYS.
At the very end of last year, NG Slot set a YouTube record for the biggest win on Dragon Cash with an impressive $20,100.00 USD win.
Some players believe that a machine can like or dislike a player. If that is the case, then Dragon Cash really likes Narek.
Just two months after his $20,100.00 win, NG Slot won an even more impressive jackpot. This time, it was equal to $21,280.00.
Narek’s biggest recorded win was $44,668.00. The win occurred on a Black Diamond Slot Machine, and the video was uploaded to the channel on May 5, 2020.
The jackpot was so large it broke multiple YouTube handpay slot records.
NG Slot prefers to keep his private life private and does not disclose his real name. What we do know is that he resides in Los Angeles, California, and makes frequent trips to neighboring states in search of new slots to play for his YouTube Channel.
NG does not disclose his net worth and yearly income, but we can make an informed guess. Unlike many gambling-related YouTube channels, NG Slot manages to keep his monetization running most of the time. And his advertising doesn’t seem to be stunted in any way, either. We tested this out by watching 5 NG Slots videos one after another. The result? We got ads on 3 of them.
Social Blade rates NG Slot’s as a B+ grade channel and estimates his advertising earnings to be somewhere in the range between $2,000 to $25,000. Knowing that most of his audience is located in the US (a market with high-paying ads), his YouTube earnings could equal $10,000-$15,000 USD on a good month.
As of January 2021, Social Blade estimates NG Slot’s earnings to be from $2k to $30k a month.
As is the case with most gambling YouTubers, most of his income probably comes from affiliate deals with online casinos, as well as donations he receives on his live streams.
NG Slot also runs a Patreon, although he isn’t overly active on the platform. His lowest patron tier starts at $2 a month and the most expensive one clocks in at a cool $1,500 per month.
Another source of income for NG is his online store on Teespring. In it, NG Slots sells T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, sports bags, and phone cases.
NG Slot’s real name is Narek. NG are his initials. He confirmed the validity of this information in an interview with Bob Casino.
Narek was born Armenian, but he has been a resident of the USA since 2015.
Like many other casino gambling YouTubers, NG Slot lives in Nevada.
Narek is an entrepreneur. He runs his own jewelry business in the USA, and he has a second business in Moscow, Russia.
NG Slot makes between $5,000 and $15,000 per month with his streams. He earns about $1,500 per month via his Patreon. He also has a Teespring store, but it is impossible to estimate how much he earns with it.
NG Slot does not have a set schedule for his YouTube live streams. Sometimes he hosts two streams per week, sometimes he hosts one, and sometimes he hosts none for a couple of weeks.
NG Slot has over 203,000 subscribers
Yes, Narek is married.
Yes, Narek has 3 kids.
Narek is 32 years old.
