Volume 1, No. 6. April 20, 2001
Filling a slot
Randy Fromm conducts training for slot machine technicians, and as demand for his services increased he decided to share his expertise via a column in a casino trade magazine, much as he does for the arcade industry via his articles for Play Meter. "I started looking for a magazine to write for and do advertising trade-outs with, and I couldn’t find anybody who wanted my stuff," Fromm said.
So, he decided to start his own publication, Slot Tech Magazine, which debuted this month. The monthly magazine costs $10 per issue, but its specialized subject matter covering repair of various slot and touch-screen gaming machines makes it a valuable tool, especially for Native American-owned casinos "out in the middle of nowhere with no (training) resources," Fromm said.
He has initially offered the narrow-niched magazine only to about 1,500 casinos in the United States, but he will also circulate the publication globally. For information, contact magazine@slot-techs.com.
