Slot Machine Repair Class To Be Offered at Hollywood School

The Governor of Florida has just signed a compact with the Seminole Indians to allow additional casino gambling at their casinos. The fallout from this decision has already begun.

Sheridan Technical Center in Hollywood has decided to start a class that would teach students how to fix slot machines. The class would feature Las Vegas style slot machines.

The idea is the first in the South Florida area. It is expected that other schools will follow the lead and offer classes in the quickly growing field of casino gambling.

Other schools around the country have tried to incorporate poker dealing classes into their curriculum. Some have been successful, while others have given in to political pressure and dropped the classes.

There are still some hurdles that must be cleared before the class could be offered. One of the things that needs to be done is there must be rules established as to how these slot machines would be allowed to be used in schools.

Currently there are eleven applicants on the waiting list for the new program. The machines that will be used in the class will cost about $15,000 each. The class would begin with twenty machines being used.
