Students with an associate degree can expect to start out at $20 per hour or more working at Las Vegas Strip properties. Both programs prepare students for careers in the ever-evolving world of planning, designing, troubleshooting, and maintaining today’s technological devices. While slots have included electronic components since the 1960s, today’s machines are sophisticated computers that are often networked into a central system.ĬSN offers two pathways for those wishing to enter the field of slot technology: A one-year certificate of achievement, or a two-year associate of applied science degree. Science and technology have always been a part of gaming, but never more so than today. Today’s bank Automated Teller Machines and self-checkout machines at supermarkets share much of the same cutting-edge technology as slot machines, so our graduates are prepared to work in a variety of industries. Part of CSN’s engineering technology department, the program prepares students to repair and maintain slot machines, but they graduate with much broader career options. The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) offers both an associate degree and a certificate in slot technology. There is only one accredited college in the nation offering an academic program in slot technology and it’s right here in Nevada. Engineering Technology Program Director, College of Southern Nevada
