Gaming Standards Association Creates Game Authentication Committee to Develop an EGM Validation Protocol
18 Março 2010 - 12:00PM
Marketwired
In today's gaming industry, there are three software concerns at
the gaming device level. First, there is not an accepted standard
for validating machine software at the machine, second, multiple
versions of the game authentication terminal are being used for
verification, and third, there is not a common or recommended
method for validating files on high capacity storage media. To help
operators, regulators and suppliers resolve this situation, the
Gaming Standards Association has created the Game Authentication
Terminal (GAT) Committee.
Comprised of GSA members from around the world, the newly formed
committee will work to formalize a common GAT protocol interface
for use in verifying the software on a gaming device by physically
connecting to the gaming device. The committee will also define a
common method of validating software from high capacity storage
devices, such as CDROM, DVD, hard drive and disk-on-chip.
GSA President Peter DeRaedt said, "The lack of standardization
in this area is a concern because it complicates a very important
process and adds undue costs for everyone involved. As is the case
with all of GSA's standards committees, the work that comes out of
GAT will benefit the entire industry by solving a problem, reducing
costs and creating a standard that will be globally
acceptable."
