Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and its TST unit have issued a technical standard for e-gaming, GLI-19. Drawn up after consultation with regulators, suppliers and operators in Europe and Canada (the territories where GLI believes e-gaming rules are most sophisticated), it means that authorities in other jurisdictions won’t have to reinvent the wheel when they come to drawing up their own regulations on the technical aspects of online gambling.
Instead, they can simply tell operators and suppliers to follow the GLI standard.
That, in turn, should enable developers and operators to reuse systems designed for one territory in another without profound changes, and start planning their technology strategy for new markets even before the laws governing e-gaming are put in place.
It will be a boon for the makers of server-based games for bricks-and-mortar venues, as well, giving them a chance to future-proof their products in anticipation of the day that they are delivering the same content to real-world gaming machines and to online.
The standard – in two parts, one for suppliers and one for operators – is available at www.gaminglabs.com.
