Casinos today are powered by more than gaming. Behind every mobile app, loyalty system, and payment platform is an IT team keeping systems secure, fast, and connected.
CBT Nuggets equips casino IT professionals with the skills to strengthen cybersecurity, modernize infrastructure, and deliver reliable digital experiences for guests and staff.
Technology is transforming the industry, and exposing new vulnerabilities. In 2023, MGM Resorts lost over $100 million during a ransomware attack. Caesars paid $15 million to avoid a similar breach. Casino IT teams face mounting pressure in three areas:
Data Security: With growing volumes of player and financial data, strong cybersecurity is essential. 41% of gaming execs expect data management to be a top challenge in the next three years.
Cloud Modernization: Retiring legacy systems improves uptime and unlocks analytics, mobility, and cost savings.
Advanced Networking: Connected gaming, smart hotel rooms, and mobile apps all rely on a stable, high-performance network.
Whether you're upgrading systems, preparing for audits, or protecting digital gaming platforms, your IT team plays a central role. CBT Nuggets prepares your IT team to migrate systems securely, manage cloud environments efficiently, and support day-to-day operations across the entire casino.

Schedule a demoEvery interaction — from hotel check-in to slot machine payouts — involves your digital systems. A ransomware attack, outage, or data breach can damage more than operations. It puts guest trust at risk.
With proper training, casino IT teams can respond quickly to threats, reduce downtime, and protect the systems that guests rely on most. Learn the ROI value of great IT training with our free IT training value calculator.
Casinos rely on cloud systems to run loyalty programs, player accounts, gaming platforms, and back-of-house operations. But without proper training, cloud migrations can result in misconfigurations, downtime, and data exposure.
Misconfigurations remain the top cause of cloud security failures, and in fast-paced casino environments, even minor disruptions can impact guest experience and revenue.
Casino systems are always online, and so is your network load. From slot machines and security cameras to online betting platforms and guest Wi-Fi, you need a network that delivers consistent performance without fail.
Training builds more than technical skill. It improves response time, reduces outside dependencies, and helps teams keep pace with evolving tools and systems.
The curated videos go into great detail about current and relevant subjects, ranging from networking to cloud technologies.
