Being a Slots streamer on Twitch definitely comes with its own unique set of challenges. Obviously, you have to spend money constantly with the knowledge that slots are not a profitable endeavor. But if you’ve got the spare cash flow and want to spin some slots alongside building an interactive community, we’ve got your guide to starting your slot streaming journey on Twitch.
Register on Twitch.
Okay yeah, that’s obvious. But definitely think about what your account name is going to be. Create a name that’s easily spelled and pronounced, without a million numbers at the end, so that viewers can recognize you. It’ll help define and grow your brand and make things like word of mouth easier. If you already have a Twitch account and are questioning your username (looking at you xxxGamblerKing123), you can change your account name in your settings.
Install streaming software.
There’s plenty of free streaming software out there like OBS and Streamlabs to get you started with everything you’ll ever need production-wise.
Learn the basics.
If you’re just getting started streaming for the first time, it can be overwhelming to learn everything there is. Lucky for you, SolarStream has compiled streaming education all in one handy place. Go ahead and look over their guides on how to set up OBS, how to use Twitch for streaming, equipment basics, and much more.
Pick your Slots.
Next up is choosing what casino site you want to use for your content. This will depend a lot on where you live, as different countries have different regulations and available sites to gamble on. Do some research to find a casino site that is in your country and perhaps has an enticing deposit bonus. You can find a variety of sites that accept real money or even cryptocurrency to gamble.
Entertain with purpose.
Slots may seem like mindless entertainment, but believe it or not, viewers love a good story (or sweat) to go along with it. Many of the top slot streamers have an earnable currency system for their viewers to get points for watching that they can then spend in a custom store that you’ve built. Other ways to engage your audience include activities like bonus openings, bonus buy battles, tournaments, max win challenges, and more.
Build your community!
Streaming is a lot lonelier without a community behind you, cheering you on and getting hyped for your wins. A currency system and store are great tools to hook viewers into watching, but a community is all about the vibe of your chat. What type of energy your chat brings all depends on you, your personality, and what you allow to go. Cultivate a community you enjoy and they’ll be right there supporting you.
These tips will not only help you get started streaming slots on Twitch, but how to grow as a casino streamer.
