YouTube’s Jackpot Gents finish 2025 up $45,611.77, proving video poker strategy works with transparent daily content.
DANIA BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Casino enthusiasts Steve and Matt Bourie, known as “The Jackpot Gents,” have concluded 2025 with impressive results that demonstrate the long-term potential of strategic video poker play on their YouTube channel. As of December 31, 2025, the father-son duo reports total winnings of $45,611.77 for the year, reinforcing their philosophy that video poker offers superior value compared to traditional slot machines.
The Jackpot Gents finished 2025 as successful winners, validating their strategic approach to video poker and their commitment to transparent, skill-based casino gaming.
The scale of their operation is significant, with an average bet of $25 per hand and approximately $2 million wagered annually. This high-volume play makes their results particularly noteworthy from a statistical perspective.
The Jackpot Gents’ multi-year journey showcases both the challenges and rewards of skilled casino gaming. Their track record includes a winning year in 2023 with profits of $1,020.17, followed by losses of $7,693.85 in 2024, and their successful 2025 performance with winnings of $45,611.77. When analyzed against their total action, their loss rate for 2023 and 2024 combined was less than 1%. More significantly, when including their 2025 winnings of $45,611.77, the Jackpot Gents are substantial net winners after three full years of daily video poker play.
“These numbers tell the real story,” said Steve Bourie. “Even though we’re playing games where the casino has an advantage, we know how to calculate the house edge on video poker games and try to only play those that give the house no more than a 1.5% edge. When you’re wagering approximately $2 million per year at $25 per hand on games with such minimal house advantages, good winning streaks – which we’ve been fortunate to hit – can help skilled players become overall winners. Our multi-year results demonstrate this approach in action.”
The Gents had two big wins in 2025. One for $20,000, which was a collaboration with slot influencer Brian Christopher, plus two more hits of $10,000 and $5,000 each, which helped contribute to their year-end total of $45,611.77.
The Jackpot Gents’ YouTube channel, featuring daily real-money video poker sessions, continues to provide transparency rarely seen in casino content creation. Unlike many slot influencers who only showcase winning sessions, Steve and Matt Bourie document their complete gambling journey, including both victories and setbacks.
The duo’s approach contrasts sharply with the challenges faced by slot influencers. With slot machines typically having a house edge of 10-14%, long-term profitability is extremely difficult. Many successful slot influencers rely on additional income streams to sustain their play.
“Video poker games typically have an edge of only 1 to 2% when played with optimal strategy,” Matt Bourie explained. “Our results demonstrate that with sufficient volume and proper play, it’s possible to overcome that edge over time. A less than 1% loss rate over two years, followed by significant wins, validates our approach.”
In addition to their engaging YouTube content, The Jackpot Gents maintain a comprehensive website at thejackpotgents.com. The site serves as a hub for all things video poker, offering invaluable resources for both beginners and seasoned players.

“We’re thrilled with our 2025 results and grateful to our audience for following our journey,” Matt Bourie added. “Our year-end performance shows that with proper strategy and sufficient volume, skilled players can achieve positive results over time.
