Continuous germ reduction for the highest-touch entertainment environments.

Casinos concentrate thousands of shared touchpoints—slot interfaces, chips, rails, kiosks, cashier windows, and restrooms. GermScan deploys automated, non-chemical germ reduction to help reduce operational disruption and protect guest confidence.

The pandemic forced casinos to shut down

The gambling industry, like many others, did not escape the impact of COVID-19. Casinos were not considered essential services, leading to months of closures and compounding economic losses.

  • Every U.S. casino shuttered in March 2020; an estimated 616,000 gaming employees were unable to work.
  • The subsequent two-month shutdown led to $105B in lost economic activity and more than $2B in lost gaming taxes.

The industry must be ready

Casinos are built on guest throughput and shared surfaces. A single outbreak can trigger staffing shortages, capacity limits, and consumer hesitation—making prevention a business necessity.

  • Clark County properties meeting revenue thresholds reported significant net losses during recovery periods.
  • Casino hotels experienced some of the steepest job losses per establishment.

“Covid-19 devastated our business and the employees and communities across the country that rely on casino gaming's success… underscoring the importance of targeted relief and ramped-up vaccine distribution to accelerate recovery.”

Killing germs in all essential areas

GermScan can be placed in the most commonly used and touched areas. With automated cycles triggered by motion activity, systems reduce pathogens in seconds—without relying on constant manual cleaning.

  • Slot banks: screens, buttons, player stations
  • Table games: chip zones, dealer areas, rails
  • Cashier/ATM: kiosks, keypads, touch screens
  • Restrooms: handles, fixtures, entry points
  • Guest flow: escalator rails, elevator lobbies, door hardware

Preparation for the next outbreak

  • MGM Resorts reported major operating losses during sustained shutdown conditions.
  • Caesars Entertainment reported significant losses in 2020.

Prevention infrastructure reduces disruption risk—helping protect staffing continuity, operations, and guest confidence.


Reviving the industry with automated reduction

Deploy GermScan where touch volume is constant—ATMs, kiosks, slot interfaces, and other guest-facing assets—so reduction happens automatically between cleaning cycles.

Let’s work together and resolve this issue

Share your property type, footprint, and priority touchpoints (slots, tables, cashier, kiosks, elevators/escalators, restrooms). We’ll outline a deployment plan that aligns with operations and scale.
