In a masterful marketing coup turned much better than expected, MGM Grand Detroit had hit the jackpot with the appearance of Brain Christopher, the gambling influencer behind the YouTube channel "Brian Christopher Slots" who managed to win his largest jackpot playing casino games so far in his career, Casino Guru News learned in an email.
Christopher was filming himself for an official promotional campaign negotiated with MGM Grand Detroit last week on Wednesday, when he hit the bonus game in the Crazy Chickens slot machine. Commenting on subsequent events, Christopher was humbled to have been able to win $79,589 off a single wager, his largest gain so far in his career as a self-styled slot influencer.
He had placed a $37 wager pursuing the big win, but never expected it. "It was unbelievable, as I was waiting to get paid out, I hit another five or six jackpots on the same game. It just kept going," he said in an official statement released by the casino and recapping the emotions of the stream.
This new jackpot is more than double his previous best which stood at $34,000. Once he had entered the game, Christopher already knew that the slot would be paying a tidy sum of money, arguing that his wager size would all but guarantee it, plus he saw a casino employee start filming the whole thing as soon as Christopher had entered the bonus game – displaying a remarkable marketing nous in the process.
Besides, Christopher made it hard not to get noticed as he was screaming at the time. Christopher kept playing at the MGM Grand Detroit a while longer, resulting in total jackpot hits worth more than $100,000. He even managed to gather a crowd of his fans on the following day and addressed them in person.
"We wanted to go and have a drink and celebrate, but I kept hitting jackpot. Don’t you hate when that happens," Christopher told the gathered crowd with a smile.
