Slot Machine Repair

Slot machines are bound to break, so it goes without saying someone will need to fix them when they do. However, you don’t hear of many places to fix them when something goes wrong.

However, the Sheridan Technical Center is now offering classes in how to fix slot machines. The Hollywood, Florida school is the first to offer a state approved course in slot machine repair.

Their first nine week class has 25 students with the next session starting in October. They only allow those who are at least 21 years of age take the class, and you cannot have a criminal record either.

The class costs $651 – which is really nothing for what could prove to be a very lucrative career. With so many slot machines going into the state, and the possibilities of them becoming legal at places like race tracks and Jai Alai, there will be ample opportunities for their students to put their skills to work.

The Seminole Indian tribe says that with them installing a total of 15,000 slot machines, there will be a large demand for qualified technicians. They said that those that are graduates from the program could be earning as much as $18 an hour.
