Casinos operate around the clock and every detail matters when creating an unforgettable guest experience.

Yet one area often overlooked is the restroom, where cleanliness, efficiency, and design all contribute to how guests perceive your brand, said Debbie Frangie, global marketing officer for Excel Hand Dryers.

“Paper towels, messy counters, and constant maintenance can quickly turn a high-end facility into a costly challenge,” Frangie said. “That’s where Excel Hand Dryers come in, offering high-performance sustainable solutions that reduce costs and elevate restroom aesthetics.”

Between constant restocking, overflowing trash, and janitorial labor, paper towels are a never-ending expense.

By replacing paper towels with XLERATOR Hand Dryers, casinos can reduce restroom operating costs by up to 95%. Excel dryers require virtually no maintenance, last for over a decade, and eliminate the ongoing costs associated with purchasing, storing, and disposing of paper products, Frangie said.

Paper towels don’t just fill trash bins, they end up on the floor, in sinks, and even clogging toilets, Frangie said. And when guests move from sink to dryer, they often drip water across the floor, creating safety and maintenance issues.

The D|13 Integrated Sink System featuring the XLERATORsync Hand Dryer eliminates paper waste and significantly reduces excess water on the floor. The integrated system allows guests to wash, rinse, and dry their hands all in one place, keeping restrooms cleaner and safer, while reducing custodial time and costs, Frangie said.

Many casinos have tried traditional hand dryers, only to find them slow, loud, or unhygienic. The XLERATOR, XLERATOReco and ThinAir Hand Dryers are engineered for speed, reliability, and hygiene. They dry hands in 8 to 14 seconds and can include electrostatic HEPA (eHEPA) filtration to remove 99.99% of viruses and 99.97% of bacteria from the air stream. Built in the U.S. with durable high-quality components, they’re designed to perform under heavy use, perfect for 24/7 casino environments, Frangie said.

“A casino’s reputation depends on every detail, especially in VIP areas, high-limit rooms, and luxury lounges,” Frangie said. “Outdated or messy restrooms simply don’t align with the experience they’re trying to create.”

The D|13 Integrated Sink System featuring the XLERATORsync Hand Dryer is the ultimate solution for high-end restroom design.

Its sleek fully customizable configuration can match any casino aesthetic from bold and modern to refined and luxurious, Frangie said. Beyond style, it delivers a seamless, touchless, user experience that impresses guests, while maintaining superior cleanliness, she added

Casinos increasingly prioritize sustainability, both for cost savings and for public perception. Paper towels waste resources and send a negative environmental message, Frangie said.

Excel Hand Dryers are GreenSpec Listed, help facilities earn LEED credits and contribute to WELL Certification points. By going paperless, casinos dramatically reduce waste, energy use, and their overall environmental footprint while maintaining the high-end image guests expect, Frangie said.

From the casino floor to the VIP suite, Excel Hand Dryers and the D|13 Integrated Sink System offer the perfect combination of style, sustainability, and savings, Frangie said. Reduce costs, elevate hygiene, and enhance the guest experience all while keeping your restrooms as clean and sophisticated as the rest of your property.
