Today we’d like to introduce you to Francine Maric.
Hi Francine, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
This all started when we lived in Utah ~6 years ago. My husband and I had to be in Vegas a lot for our jobs at conventions. Of course, we would stay on the Vegas Strip and occasionally play blackjack & slot machines after our day of work. We started earning points, free play, free rooms, etc. since we played with our player’s card. We would make the drive out to Vegas once a month to take advantage of our comps.
At this time my husband created me an Instagram account called Lady Luck HQ & on this account we posted pictures of our casino adventures. We created this account for us so we could go back and look at our fancy dinners, jackpots, and fun casino adventures. This Instagram account was public for anyone to see and random people started following the account… These people were gambling enthusiasts that also love Vegas just as much as we do & suggested to us that we should start a YT Channel and record our slot play for them to watch.
On Feb 25th, 2018 I started my YouTube Channel; Lady Luck HQ. The channel was a hit right from the start with this https://youtu.be/XSYyK1vEE6U being my first viral video and the most watched slot video in youtube history with over 7 million views. Shortly after launching my YT channel I also launched a FB Page and eventually a Tiktok account.
My goal was to become a monetized creator on all of these social media platforms and become a full-time influencer.
On May 9th, 2021 I did just that… I quit my job of 8 years to peruse social media full time… Of course, in full influencer fashion, I posted my “I quit” video letting the world know https://youtu.be/3x3NAiYqGyQ
I mainly post videos of my husband and I playing slot machines however I get a ton of questions from people around, how much I make from social media, how do you start a YT channel, how much do you lose playing slots, etc. so I try to be very open and honest with my audience about such topics. https://youtu.be/DjqcnSZrNeA https://youtu.be/zgIFUsWATJM https://youtu.be/_2a1Ezyvkx8
I am one of the largest influencers in this space.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Making the decision to quit my job was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made… However, looking back I wish I would have done it sooner.
If you are going to bet on someone always bet on yourself!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am an influencer specifically in the casino space. I run all of my Lady Luck HQ platforms that are just pure entertainment. My channels are dedicated to responsible gaming & we have a family-friendly vibe making us a great partner for casinos and gaming manufacturers.
Learning how to do this all on my own and really embraced an entrepreneurial spirit. I have taken an expensive hobby that I enjoy and turned it into a business by monetizing my content & taking on strategic brand deals.
The bond between my husband and I shine through in all of my videos. We have an amazing relationship and I think my audience loves seeing couples enjoying themselves.
We all have different ways of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
At the end of the day, I love what I am doing. I get to do this with my husband, and my life partner and make money along the way.
Success to me is being happy, healthy, and making money.
