Nevada: Spare change from Atlantis patrons donated to charity organizations in northern Nevada

Guests of the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, through kiosks on the casino floor, have donated more than $300,000 to various charities through a program that began in 2018. Through the slot manufacturer Everi Cares Giving Module, patrons can donate a portion of their TITO tickets to organizations of their choice.

“Our slot-machine change program has given us the opportunity to support these great organizations and their tremendous work in our region,” Monarch Casino & Resort Corporate Director of Slot Operation Steve Ringkob said in a statement. “As we celebrate surpassing the $300,000 mark in donations, this milestone is proof that even the smallest of donations can help to make a big difference.”

The Atlantis is owned and operated by Monarch Casino & Resorts.

Donations have been made to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, the American Cancer Society – Great West Division, Honor Flight Nevada, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northeastern California and Northern Nevada.

The Atlantis was the first northern Nevada casino to deploy the Everi Cares Giving Module. Guests can donate change to a specific charity, distribute change between all four listed charities, or receive the full amount of their ticket back. Atlantis averages $150 per day in donations to the organizations.
