HERMES SoftLab, a software engineering services and IT solutions company for the gaming industry, is now fully equipped to support G2S (Games to System) protocol, ensuring delivery of the next generation of gaming platforms to its gaming industry customers.

Set to revolutionize the land-based gaming industry, G2S is the communication protocol that unlocks the power of networked gaming and is set to become the way information is exchanged between a gaming device and the back-end systems.

HERMES SoftLab G2S enables gaming operators to develop new and simple functions in communication between various systems used in their gaming portfolio. The protocol also enables fast and simple additions of new functions for players – a key asset for efficient and competitive business operations.

By utilising the new G2S protocol, operators have the opportunity to offer players a set of customised games or other services based on their past individual user experience.

Full-scale G2S floors are expected by late 2009 and the HERMES SoftLab G2S building block carries the capabilities to phase the new system in with its customer’s existing back end to ensure the application co-exists effortlessly and is delivered in record time.
