BMM International, the gaming testing laboratory and technical consultancy, is celebrating five years in operation in Peru.

Drew Pawlak, senior vice president of business development for the  Americas, said: "BMM made the decision to open in Peru as it was one of the only formally regulated markets in South America.

“Over the last few years we have seen so many changes in the region. In particular we are very pleased to have supported the process of change for MINCETUR and Peruvian gaming stakeholders.

“Since we opened in 2007, MINCETUR has brought all locations under the licensing programme and they have rolled out SUCTR standards and the vast majority of locations are now connected to their data centre.

“Furthermore, they are now in the process of promulgating server-based gaming standards. It's really been great to watch and support the team at MINCETUR. Under their guidance the market has really stabilised and matured."
