Monarch Casino & Resort’s slot machine change donation program, which currently runs on equipment developed by International Game Technology (IGT), has surpassed $1m in donations to various nonprofit organizations.
The program allows guests of Atlantis Casino Resort Spa and Monarch Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk to choose whether they would like to donate the remaining change of their slot machine winnings to either one or multiple nonprofit charities.
While guests still have the ability to redeem the full slot machine amount if they so choose, donations go toward organizations such as Food Bank of Northern Nevada, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Nevada and the Navy SEAL Foundation.
“Our slot machine change program has provided a meaningful way for us to support outstanding organizations and the important work they do in our communities,” Monarch Casino & Resort Corporate Director of Slot Operations Steve Ringkob said.
“Reaching the $1m milestone is a testament to the generosity of our guests. It proves that even the smallest contributions can create a significant and lasting impact.”
The IGT technology is featured across multiple betting kiosks in both Atlantis Casino Resort Spa and Monarch Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk, including 12 standalone terminals in the Reno, Nevada property.
According to Monarch Casino & Resort, both properties average approximately $400 in guest donations per day.
Monarch Casino & Resort also reported its financial results for Q4 2025 and full-year on February 4, having set new records for revenue and adjusted EBITDA during both periods.
Revenue for Q4 2025 totaled $140m and increased 4.1%, while the operator’s revenue during FY2025 climbed 4.4% to $545.1m.
Boyd Gaming Corporation donated more than $215,000 to non-profit organizations across the US through its 18th annual Trees of Hope charitable competition during December 2025
