THE ORIGINAL "FEST" IS NOW TWO "FESTS" IN ONE!!
It's a TechFest
In 2001, Slot Tech Magazine presented the first TechFest, a three-day, technical training program for slot machine technicians. This popular program now returns for TechFest 17 - Three days of service tips, schematic diagrams, pocket screwdrivers and food.

TechFest is geared toward learning the lastest technical information about slot machine sub-assemblies such as monitors, bill validators, touchscreens, printers and more. You simply cannot learn more in three days.

It's a SlotFest
Are you interested in slot management? Slot Tech Magazine is pleased to team up with the prestigious University of Nevada, Reno (unr.edu) to present an outstanding opportunity for you to put your suit on and leave it on. 

Unlike other seminar programs, SlotFest is not a parade of guest speakers, each trying to sell you something. SlotFest is a University program that provides attendees with a single, coherent training session over three days.

This unique course provides the management skills you need to run your slot operation more efficiently and improve your bottom line.
