Slot Tech, a professional magazine for slot technicians, announced that it will hold a series of regional slot tech classes designed for small to medium-sized casinos. The classes, to be conducted by magazine publisher and slot professional Randy Fromm, will consist of a four-day training program.
The first classes will be this month at the Lode Star Casino in Ft. Thompson, South Dakota. “I will hold these classes at a sponsoring casino and invite other slot techs to attend in order to fill the remaining places in the class that the sponsor cannot,” Fromm said.
The sponsoring casino need only provide meeting room space and guarantee six people for the class. Tuition is $795 per person, inclusive of all classroom materials including textbook, digital multi-meter, soldering iron and soldering supplies, sample components, etc. Meals and lodging are the responsibility of the student.
“I believe this arrangement will work well for everyone involved,” commented Fromm. “The sponsoring casino saves the cost of transporting and housing their own slot techs. Those from other properties (those with, presumably, less than six techs or are lacking in meeting room facilities) will now have chance to attend a class where it just wasn’t possible previously.”
Following South Dakota, classes will be held in Shreveport, Louisiana (at Eldorado Casino) in August, Aruba Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino in September and Pinetop, Arizona (at Hon-Dah Casino) in October.
