GLI expands in Asia

Published: 03 December, 2008

Since opening its lab in Macau in 2006, Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has been continuously pressed by requests from regulators and manufacturers alike to expand its services. In response to that demand, GLI Asia is planning a multi-phased expansion, the first of which will establish a fully functional testing laboratory in Macau by the end of 2008.

GLI Asia will move from its current office to a 3,000 square foot testing facility in China Civil Plaza in Macau. In addition, GLI has entered into a co-operative agreement with the Macao Polytechnic Institute (MPI). Speaking for MPI, President Dr. Lei Heong Iok said, "We see great benefits of creating technical talents in the gaming industry for Macao by working with GLI Asia in the upcoming projects and programs."

GLI President and Co-Founder James R. Maida said, "We are extremely excited to be the first gaming test lab to establish a fully operational lab in Asia to serve the emerging regulated gaming markets in the region. The Macau lab's mission will be to continue to provide real-time and local support to Asian regulators. Additionally, it will bring the advantage of localized service to our international customers who currently supply products to the Asian markets, and for Asian-based suppliers who require compliant testing services for international regulated jurisdictions
