Slot Machine Sustainability Standard DevelopmentUpdated:
December 18, 2008
Need for the Standard:Slot machines use a significant amount of
materials during their manufacture and a significant amount of
electricity over the course of their lifetime. A standard that
makes it easy to define the sustainability parameters
of a slot machine will make it easy for manufacturers to promote
and sell environmentally-friendly slot
machines and for slot machine buyers to specify their
sustainability preferences for slot machines when
purchasing this equipment.
Objectives of the Standard:
The objective of the standard is to provide a framework for
market-driven increase in the sustainability profile
of slot machines. This includes energy use and emission
reductions, as well as the procurement and use of more
sustainable materials in the manufacture of slot machines.
