Gaming testing company and technical consultancy BMM Testlabs announced the release of a new, free-of-charge verification tool using GSA GAT Directory Signature Calculations.
In April, the Ohio Casino Control Commission requested that all Certified Independent Testing Laboratories adhere to the Gaming Standards Association G2S GAT Windows Directory Signature standard when providing verification signatures of gaming products. BMM has implemented this standard and has gone one step further by implementing it in BMM’s free verification tool, BMM Signatures.
“Having this standard in place allows the regulator to utilize one tool for signature verification regardless of which testing laboratory tested the product,” said Travis Foley, chief operating officer of BMM Testlabs. “Regulators, operators, and manufacturers alike should not be burdened with utilizing multiple tools to accomplish the same task.
“I applaud the Ohio Casino Control Commission and specifically the commission’s manager of compliance and gaming, Chris Fleenor, for taking another step toward industry standardization,” he said. “I would encourage all regulatory bodies to consider adopting this standard. Doing so will create significant efficiencies for the regulator and operator during inspections of gaming products and will eliminate the need to pay for such tool.”
