What Is the Slots Technical Learnership?
This programme focuses on the technical side of casino operations.
Instead of working primarily with guests, you’ll learn how Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs) operate — and how to maintain them.
Over 12 months, you will:
- Complete an accredited NQF Level 3 qualification
- Gain practical workshop experience
- Work directly with slot machines and gaming equipment

By the end, you’ll understand the inner workings of slot machines — from card readers to digital displays.

- Supporting machine relocations (“clean-up moves”)
Floor Support
- Ensuring machines operate correctly
- Assisting guests with technical queries

Shift work — including weekends and public holidays — is part of the job.
