Gaming Laboratories International has released a key update to its GLI-19 Interactive Gaming Systems technical standard.
The new GLI-19 version 2.0 introduces key updates which address the unique technical considerations of North American interactive gaming markets.
As the North American i-gaming landscape continues to take shape, regulators from emerging North American markets have expressed the essential need for the standardisation of technical requirements for interactive gaming systems.
GLI has been asked by these regulatory agencies to leverage the lab’s significant experience in the development of technical standards to assist the industry in its goal of standardisation.
“The library of GLI standards began nearly 15 years ago, when regulators from emerging gaming jurisdictions asked us to create a technical standard for land-based electronic gaming devices,” said GLI president and CEO James Maida.
“That technical standard later became known as GLI-11, the most broadly adopted and utilised technical standard in the gaming industry. GLI-19 v2.0 presents a continuation of that idea and assists the industry in creating essential technical standardisation within the North American i-gaming market.”
GLI-19 v2.0 is a technical standard based on an extensive review of several key interactive gaming jurisdictions which have experienced great success in regulating the inherently complex systems associated with i-gaming.
It is the first set of common standards for technical regulation of i-gaming markets, encompassing the best practices in regulated jurisdictions from the US and Canada and from countries across Europe. GLI-19 v2.0 is available for free, immediate download on GLI’s website at www.gaminglabs.com.
Regulators in new and emerging i-gaming markets will be able to use GLI-19 v2.0 as a basis for their technical regulations. It will also be of help to software developers and operators, who will now be able to better comply with government technical regulations, because the standards within GLI-19 v2.0 have been vetted through the best practices in the already existing regulated markets.
