Email us at Engineering.Technology@csn.edu Slot Technology Is a Launchpad For High Tech Careers There is only one accredited college in the nation offering an academic program in slot technology and it’s right here in Nevada. The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and University (NWCCU) and offers a 4-week boot camp, an associate degree, and a certificate in slot technology. 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. 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. Science and technology have always been a part of gaming, but never more so than today. While slots have included electronic components since the 1960s, today’s machines are sophisticated computers that are often networked into a central system. CSN offers three pathways for those wishing to enter the field of slot technology: a 4-week bootcamp, a one-year certificate of achievement, or a two-year associate of applied science degree. Both programs prepare students for careers in the ever-evolving world of planning, designing, troubleshooting, and maintaining today’s technological devices. The average annual wage for slot technicians is $34,000 nationally and $43,000 in Nevada, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At CSN, we teach students in the associate degree program about electronics, computers, networking, gaming laws and management, and much more. They also must take all required general education courses for an associate degree, such as math, communication and science. Like many technology-focused fields today, this is one where technicians must constantly keep up with changes and new technology. In addition to training new technicians, CSN also provides training for local working technicians who are required to their skills keep up to date. FAQs Is registration completed online? Yes.
