• The Jackpot Gents YouTube channel advocates for video poker as a game of strategy
• The father-son duo has amassed over $53,000 in video poker wins in 2025 alone
• The Gents claim to navigate the house edge effectively

Renowned YouTube casino personalities, “The Jackpot Gents,” are celebrating unprecedented success in their video poker endeavors, tallying up $53,712 in winnings as of September 30, with a significant part of the year still ahead.

Father-Son Duo

The Jackpot Gents consist of father Steve and his son Matt Bourie.

Steve Bourie attributes their remarkable success to a deep understanding of the casino’s advantages, complemented by the ability to assess the house edge on video poker games, targeting options with a maximum house edge of just 1.5%.

In their commentary, the Gents emphasized how their strategic methods stand in stark contrast to the hurdles encountered by slot influencers, who face house edges ranging from 10% to 14%, complicating long-term profitability.

Thriving YouTube Channel

The Gents assert that their method illustrates video poker’s superior value compared to standard slot machines.

With an average bet of $25 per hand and nearly $2 million wagered each year, they engage in high-volume play. 

“These statistics tell a compelling tale,” stated Steve Bourie. “By wagering around $2 million annually on games with minimal house advantages, skilled players can experience good winning streaks – which we’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy. Our results over several years clearly validate this strategy.”

Collaboration with Brian Christopher

The duo celebrated two substantial wins of $20,000 each, one of which was in collaboration with slot influencer Brian Christopher, alongside additional wins of $10,000 and $5,000. 

“Video poker typically carries an edge of only 1 to 2% when played using optimal strategy,” articulated Matt Bourie. “Our achievements highlight that with adequate play volume and correct strategies, it is feasible to surpass that edge in the long run. A loss rate under 1% over the past two years, followed by considerable wins, underscores our methodology.”

The Gents argue that video poker revolves around strategy rather than mere luck, positioning it as a game suited for the astute casino player. Their YouTube channel and accompanying website aim to educate viewers about this perspective.

Effective Strategy

As previously noted by the successful Christopher, the popularity of casino-related YouTube and social media content hinges on authenticity, where The Jackpot Gents excel.

Their YouTube channel showcases daily real-money video poker sessions where Steve and Matt Bourie candidly portray their entire gambling journey, including both triumphs and challenges.

“We trust that our open approach and extensive results will inspire players to give video poker a try,” Matt Bourie expressed. “Our long-term performance highlights that with proper strategy and ample play, skilled individuals can attain favorable results over time. With three-quarters of this year already behind us and robust outcomes, we are quite enthusiastic about concluding 2025 as triumphant winners.”
