Andres Garcia, Director of Customer Integration and Support at Quixant, elaborates on the challenges of achieving regulatory compliance, how you can stay ahead of the game, and making the process smooth and painless.
In the casino and slot gaming sector, complying with regulatory standards is essential. Several independent test labs, such as Gaming Laboratories International and BMM Testlabs, are responsible for testing and certifying games for the worldwide gaming market.
A prominent global benchmark for electronic gaming machines is GLI-11, which often serves as a foundation for other jurisdictional regulatory standards. Additional standards include GLI-33 (specific to sports betting), the UK Gambling Commission technical standards, AAMS (Italy’s Amministrazione Autonoma dei Monopoli di Stato), and WLA-SCS (World Lottery Association Security Control Standard), with many others tailored to particular regions, such as Nevada or tribal gaming in the United States.
These regulations are designed to guarantee fairness, security, and compliance, making them a fundamental aspect of the game development process. However, navigating these gaming regulations can be time-consuming and may divert focus from creating innovative content and high-performing products.
What does ensuring gaming regulatory compliance involve?
This article aims to assist game manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers in achieving gaming regulatory compliance and obtaining game certification, regardless of jurisdiction and market needs, while maintaining it throughout the product lifecycle.
Whether you are new to this process or maintaining compliance for games already on the market, Quixant offers the insights and guidance you need.
Understanding gaming regulatory compliance
GLI-11 for example, also known as the gaming devices technical standard, establishes stringent requirements for electronic gaming machines to ensure integrity and fairness in gaming operations.
These standards encompass security protocols, communication interfaces, and more. While complying with standards like GLI-11, GLI-33, UKGC, or AAMS is often a regulatory requirement, adherence also reflects a company’s commitment to quality and reliability in the gaming industry.
Achieving gaming regulatory compliance involves multiple steps, and collaboration with industry-leading partners like Quixant can alleviate the burden, allowing developers to concentrate on crafting the most engaging content and delivering exceptional player experiences while ensuring compliance and security.
