A casino cleaning robot has to work on a floor that never closes, on carpet more than hard floor, in front of guests and under surveillance. This page covers what Gausium cleaning robots do and do not do on a gaming floor, in hotel corridors, back of house and convention space, and how a deployment runs. First Class Building Supply & Services is an authorized Gausium dealer. We deliver, map, train and support cleaning robots with our own team for casinos, resorts, hotels and convention centers, including tribal and commercial gaming properties.
Equipment, mapping, training and service. The property keeps its own environmental services (EVS) team or cleaning contractor; the robot works alongside them.
We deliver, map, train and support Gausium robots for casinos, resorts, hotels and convention centers. Call with your property's location and we will confirm coverage before anything is scheduled. What we supply is the equipment, the mapping, the training and the service.
Tribal gaming properties and commercial casinos, resorts and hotels get the same robot program: site walk, demo, mapping, training and service. FCBS supplies and supports the equipment while the property keeps its own EVS team or contractor; our commercial janitorial services are a separate line of business from the robot program.
The floors never close, so there is no window to bring in a crew and shut a zone for an hour. The overnight shift is the hardest one to staff and the first to run short. And the most repetitive hour of that shift is the vacuum pass: the same corridors and the same aisles between the same banks of machines, every night, whether or not anyone showed up to do it.
The staffing side is not specific to gaming, but it is measured. The American Hotel & Lodging Association's February 2025 survey of 282 hoteliers found 65% of surveyed hotels still reporting staffing shortages, with housekeeping the most cited shortage at 38% (source: ahla.com). That survey covers hoteliers, not casinos, and we do not turn it into a claim about your property. The operational point stands on its own: a robot on a mapped route runs the vacuum pass the same way every night, logs it, and frees the people you do have for the work that needs hands.
Four things an EVS director will test us on before anything else.
A gaming floor runs around the clock, every day of the year. The deployment model is a mapped zone plus a fixed low-traffic window, not a shutdown. The robot runs scheduled routes and stops, slows or routes around people and obstacles; Gausium publishes obstacle avoidance built on LiDAR and 3D depth cameras (source: gausium.com, Vacuum 40 specs). Runtime is finite. Gausium publishes up to 3 hours of vacuuming for the Vacuum 40 (gausium.com) and roughly 4 to 6 hours for the Scrubber 75 (gausium.com), so a large floor is split into several routes, not attempted in one run.
The Gausium scrubbers are hard-floor machines, and no robot on this page extracts carpet. Scrubber 50 lists ceramic tile, natural stone, artificial marble and granite, PVC vinyl, epoxy and concrete (gausium.com); carpet is not on that list. Carpet on a gaming floor is a vacuum job: Vacuum 40, which Gausium publishes with three carpet modes for different pile heights (gausium.com), or Phantas for tighter areas, which lists low-pile carpeting among its supported floors (gausium.com). Hot-water extraction, spotting and restorative carpet work stay with the property's crew. The robot takes the nightly vacuum pass so the crew's hours go to the work that needs hands.
Phantas publishes "Quiet Mode Supported (≤60 dB)" (gausium.com, Phantas specs). The scrubbers are louder and are normally scheduled back of house or into low-traffic windows. Published noise figures are manufacturer measurements under test conditions. The demo on your property, in the space the machine would actually work in, is how your team judges it. We do not describe any machine as silent.
This is the question that decides most gaming deployments, so here is what your security team will want to review with us before mapping starts: which zones the robot is mapped into and which are fenced out of the map entirely (cage, count room, vault, surveillance room); what the on-board cameras and sensors capture and how that data is handled and retained; who holds the operator account and who can change a route; and how the machine is marked so surveillance staff identify it on camera. Restricted areas are excluded from the map rather than merely avoided in software. We bring Gausium's current documentation on camera and cloud data to that meeting and work to your property's requirements.
Most of the carpet on a resort property is in the corridors, twelve or more floors of it.
Corridor carpet is the routine the Vacuum 40 was published for. Gausium's own hospitality deployment at the InterContinental Wien in June 2024 put one Vacuum 40 (Diffuser version) across 12 guest floors, the lobby and the basement, with a Phantas on the mezzanine, deployed against labor shortages, inconsistent cleaning quality and not enough time in the day (source: gausium.com case study). That deployment is Gausium's and its Austrian distributor's, not ours; we cite it because the layout is the one every hotel tower shares.
Gausium's hospitality page lists Phantas as "autonomously taking elevators for inter-floor cleaning" (gausium.com), and its Hanting Hotels case study describes a Vacuum 40 integrated with the hotel's smart elevator system through an API so it moves between floors on its own (gausium.com case study). Whether that is possible at your property depends on your elevator control system and elevator vendor, and we check it during the site walk. Without an integration, staff move the machine floor to floor.
Guest floors have a quiet window that a gaming floor does not, and routes are scheduled into it. Each floor is its own route, so a machine that runs a few hours per charge covers a block of floors per night and the block rotates. Routes are adjusted with the property as occupancy and event schedules change.
Usually the easiest place to start: no guests, fewer surveillance constraints, and a clean read on whether the routes hold up.
Sealed concrete, tile and epoxy are hard-floor scrubber territory. Scrubber 50 suits medium spaces and lists ceramic tile, PVC vinyl, epoxy and concrete among its floors (gausium.com); Scrubber 75 covers the large runs. Kitchens and docks are scheduled around deliveries and service, and the route is built with the obstacles those areas actually have.
Large flat concrete with long straight runs is what a heavy-duty scrubber is built for. Gausium publishes a 750 mm cleaning width and a practical cleaning efficiency of 700 to 1,400 m²/h for the Scrubber 75 (gausium.com, Scrubber 75 specs). We confirm on the site walk which structures suit an autonomous route and which do not.
The largest uninterrupted cleaning window on the property, and the one that changes shape every week.
Convention space is empty in long blocks between shows, which is the biggest window a robot gets anywhere on a resort. The thing to plan for is that mapped area is not the same as cleanable area once the floor is set with staging, tables and pipe-and-drape. Routes are built per configuration and re-run as the set changes.
Ballroom carpet is a Vacuum 40 job. Large hard-floor pre-function areas and concourses suit the Scrubber 75. Gausium publishes the two together in a cinema deployment (Kinepolis Bioscoop, Enschede) on its hospitality and entertainment page (gausium.com).

No robot in this table extracts carpet; carpet extraction stays a manual job. Scrubber 50 and Scrubber 75 are hard-floor machines and do not go on gaming-floor carpet. Model availability and lead time vary; we confirm both in the proposal.
Gausium publishes remote monitoring and task control through its mobile app (gausium.com), which produces a record of what ran, where and when. A timestamped cleaning record is useful when a property has to show what was cleaned and at what time. We describe it as documentation, not as a safety outcome: it does not replace your incident procedures, and we make no claims about claims, liability, insurers or regulators. What the record can export, in which formats, and how long it is retained is something we confirm with Gausium for your proposal.
Five steps. The demo is on your floor, not in a showroom.
Square footage by surface, obstacles, the elevator situation and the restricted zones.
The recommended machine runs on your own floor so your EVS, security and engineering leads see and hear it where it would work.
Routes built with your security team's exclusions applied before the first autonomous run.
Named operators trained to start, stop, dock, empty and refill, with supervised first runs.
Service and parts support through First Class as the dealer, with the coverage for your property written into the proposal.
Buy outright. One-time purchase, delivery, mapping and training included. The robot is your asset from day one. Service is an optional plan on top.
Lease. Fixed-term financing with budgetable payments. The end-of-term option is written into the agreement, not the fine print. A service plan is quoted separately.
Robot-as-a-Service (monthly service plan). A monthly rate covers the machine, software and updates, preventive maintenance and service response. We own the robot; you pay for the cleaning it does. At the end of the term you renew, return it or change model.
First Class Building Supply & Services is an authorized Gausium dealer and quotes all three side by side. Compare buy, lease and Robot-as-a-Service in detail.
Yes, and no shutdown is required. The robot maps the floor once, then runs scheduled routes during your lowest-traffic hours, stopping, slowing or routing around people and obstacles the rest of the time. Most properties start with one defined zone and a fixed overnight window, then widen the zone once the route has proven itself. Runtime between charges is a few hours per machine, so a large gaming floor is split across several routes rather than attempted in one long run.
They vacuum it. The Gausium Vacuum 40 has three carpet modes for different pile heights and a 28-inch cleaning path, and the smaller Phantas handles low-pile carpet in tight areas and under tables. Neither one extracts carpet. Hot-water extraction, spotting and restorative carpet work stay with your cleaning crew. The robot takes the nightly vacuum pass so your people spend their hours on the work that needs hands.
Gausium publishes a quiet mode rated at 60 dB or less for the Phantas. The larger scrubbers are louder and are normally scheduled into back-of-house areas or low-traffic windows. Published noise figures are manufacturer measurements taken under test conditions, not on your floor, so we run a demo on your property and let your team hear the machine in the space it would actually work in before you commit to anything.
Only with an elevator integration. Gausium has published a deployment where a Vacuum 40 was tied into a hotel's smart elevator system through an API and moved between floors on its own, and it lists the Phantas as able to take elevators for inter-floor cleaning. Whether that works at your property depends on your elevator control system and your elevator vendor, so we check it during the site walk. Without an integration, staff move the machine floor to floor, which is still a small fraction of the labor of vacuuming corridors by hand.
Expect to cover four things: which zones the robot is mapped into and which are excluded from the map, what the on-board cameras and sensors capture and how that data is handled, who holds the operator account and can change a route, and how the machine is marked so surveillance staff can identify it on camera. Cage, count room, vault and other restricted areas are cut out of the map, not merely avoided by the software. We work through your property's requirements with your security team before any mapping starts.
All three. First Class Building Supply & Services is an authorized Gausium dealer and offers outright purchase, lease, and Robot-as-a-Service, where a monthly rate covers the machine along with support and service. What we supply on a gaming property is the equipment, the mapping, the training and the service; the property keeps its own EVS team or contractor. Call 888-675-2807 or request a demo and we will quote all three options side by side.
Tell us about the property and the floors you want covered. We will book a site walk, run the recommended machine on your own floor, and send one proposal with buy, lease and Robot-as-a-Service side by side.
