What is the industry saying

about GSA?

Operators

“With GSA standards, we no longer have to spend time and money

creating IT „fixes‟ and „patches‟ try to get proprietary protocols to talk to

each other. We can now redirect those savings to better serve our

customers”

Lyle Bell - Seminole Tribe of Florida

Regulators

”We specify GSA standards because they give us improved monitoring

capabilities, including remote software validation, direct machine access

and enhanced encrypted information exchange. We see it as a benefit for

both operators and the vendors since we can better focus our development

efforts on serving our customers by offering them a wider array of games

and entertainment experiences based on G2S protocols rather than having

to spend time and money on writing to proprietary protocols."

Cornell Balagot - Video Product Manager, Oregon Lottery

Suppliers

“The fact remains that our customers have many other entertainment

options besides gaming, however the GSA standards empower us to

develop floor-wide products and applications that can create new

exciting and entertaining experiences not currently available on the

casino floor.“

Rob Siemasko - VP Product Development, WMS Gaming
