GETT has a YouTube presence in a series of informative videos called “GETT Educated.” This library of information helps casinos find and train the talent they need to keep their games running, Looney said. This training has helped many of GETT’s customers find and train new staff for the critical roles many casinos have had trouble filling in the slot tech industry, according to GETT CEO Trent Looney. GETT, a Las Vegas-based gaming parts company, has launched a series of free tech training classes for their many customers around the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic proved to be difficult for the casino industry, and Gaming & Entertainment Touch Technology has invested in people and technology to help the slot machine industry recover.
