Schooling for Slots

When your slot machines break – who do you turn to? Do you have to send them to a company to fix them, or is it possible to have someone on staff who knows how to fix it? Now take this scenario and place the slot machines in a place like Vegas – where slot machine repair places and people are always in demand and you have no issue with getting it repaired.

But now put that same scenario in a place like Florida, who up until recently didn’t even have slot machines in the state – never mind anyone who could fix them. Now you have an issue in that you would like to have your slot machines fixed but no one who knows how to do so.

This outlook is about to change though, as Florida is now training people how to fix the slot machines and it is bound to be a very demanding job. The first training classes on how to fix slot machines are now underway, and students are flocking to them.

They know that they are going to be in demand as there aren’t that many people who can do what they will be able to do – and as the class is only nine weeks it is something they can learn fairly quickly and get out there and start working. The classes teach everything from the spinning reels to the buttons, to even how the electronics inside the slot machine work so that they can repair any or all of them.

When students graduate from the Sheridan Technical Center in Hollywood they will be entry level slot machine repair people, and will be ushered into a new era in jobs in the state.
