When the word streamers is mentioned in the outside world, most people assume console/PC gamers playing the likes of Fortnite and FIFA. Yet there’s a streaming section which is constantly evolving.
The world of slot streaming is a forever growing trend in the online gaming industry. According to Twitchmetric.net, the streamer with the highest followers is m0E_tv with, as of writing this article, just under 802,000.
Ava and Daniel Antenbring, also known as roseyreels on Twitch and YouTube, are two newcomers after founding the channel in February 2019. Since then the couple have managed to generate over 5,000 followers on Twitch, an online streaming platform.
SlotBeats spoke to Ava and Dan about their passion for slots, obstacles they have had to overcome, their original ambitions when first starting out and more.
SlotBeats: What’s your name and where are you from?
Ava: We are Ava & Dan, both born and bred in Yorkshire UK. We still live in Yorkshire but hopefully spread our wing one day
SB: When did you get into streaming/start playing slots?
Ava: When I was on maternity leave I always watched streamers and I decided that I could do that! We actually started roseyreels in February 2019.
SB: What’s your favourite thing about streaming slots play?
Ava: How exciting it gets when we get a good bonus and how hyped up our chat gets!
SB: What has been your favourite slot moment streaming?
Ava: It has to be joining CasinoGrounds, we have a streaming family and we love them all! Also hitting our first 1,000 followers was a monumental moment for us!
SB: What obstacles, if any, did you have to overcome when you first started streaming?
Ava: The first obstacle is tackling the schedule especially when you have children! Ensuring we had the right equipment to do the job, I had already built a foundation with people and the community had already begun. Also the bank roll is a massive obstacle to overcome when you’re starting streaming slots.
SB: What was your ambition when you first decided to get into slot streaming?
Ava: The ambition was to reach 1,000 followers and to enjoy our slot streaming responsibly but also remembering to have fun with it. We have now been able to become full time streamers which is pretty much a dream come true.
SB: What are your favourite types of slots and why?
Ava: I prefer my megaways slots or 243 ways , because you never know what’s about to happen whether it be a max megaways or just the lowest possible, it’s all excitement.
Dan: I’m happy with anything that excites me!
SB:What would you be doing if you weren’t a slot streamer?
Ava: I worked in a casino on the night shift so probably that or being a stay at home mum.
Dan: I was a sales manager before we took it full time, so I would be in the same role.
SB: What would be your ideal slot if you could make one?
Ava: Megaways! Where the max megaways have a guaranteed win of 20x . There have been many times that we have had max megaways without a win, it can be very frustrating!
SB: What makes your streaming channel such a success?
Ava: The interaction within the community we have built and stability in our schedule and just providing top notch entertainment. The viewers are a HUGE part of any stream, without the viewers you have no stream! We do bounce off the people we chat with.
SB: Has slot streaming changed your life in any way?
Ava: Slot streaming has changed our lives dramatically, we are both able to watch our two year old son grow up and stream on the evenings, it’s the perfect combination really.
SB: Tell us something about yourself we wouldn’t be likely to already know?
Ava: This is a tough one , I’m so used to telling everybody on stream everything. Maybe the fact i wanted to be a police woman for 25 years until i became a slot streamer then that ambition changed!
Dan: I have 9 toes, no I don’t really. I’m absolutely terrified of horses, I was bitten by one when I was younger and now I can’t even stand near one.
