The Gaming Standards Association will hold its first annual Open Forum on June 11 at Treasure Island in Las Vegas, US.
The forum will present GSA’s latest updates for its standards, technical initiatives, internal processes, as well as invaluable information on new developments from the Operators Advisory Committee. This year’s topics include industry collaboration and online gaming.
“GSA’s message in 2013 is one of collaboration and the purpose of this first Open Forum is to ensure that everyone is invited to have a seat at the table to address the challenges presented during this exciting time in gaming’s history,” said GSA president Peter DeRaedt.
At this meeting, GSA will officially launch its new Online Gaming initiative. “The world of online gaming is an exciting place filled with a multitude of great ideas and incredible potential,” added DeRaedt. “There are also a lot of pitfalls due to the lack of standardisation. That’s why GSA created the Online Gaming initiative, to collaborate with our peers and bring global ideas together before the first meeting of our Online Gaming Committee.”
The recently created Online Gaming Committee is designed to provide a neutral forum for technology experts in the industry to take a leadership role in the creation of online gaming standards with the objective of reducing R&D costs, bringing more interoperability, speeding time to market and improving consumer protection.
