Leading gaming testing company Gaming Laboratories International announced that it has completed the first independent certification of a Gaming House Operator’s full interactive gaming systems under the new Bahamian gaming legislation.
GLK Limited, a Gaming House Operator headquartered in Nassau, Bahamas, worked with GLI to have its full complement of casinos, numbers and sports book offerings tested for compliance with the new Bahamian gaming legislation, which incorporates a reliance on GLI’s iGaming technical standards (GLI-19: Interactive Gaming Systems).
“We are pleased and excited to be the first Gaming House Operator to complete the full testing and certification process with GLI and to have our interactive gaming system authorized by the Gaming Board for The Bahamas,” said Garvin Netball and Leander Brice, co-founders of GLK Limited. “It is truly an honor to be the first of a handful of operators licensed in this historical undertaking to regularize a domestic gaming sector.
“We would like to sincerely thank everyone from GLK Limited, GLI and the Gaming Board for The Bahamas who helped make this achievement possible. We would also like to thank our customers who have worked with us through this demanding regulatory process.”
“The Gaming Board could not be more pleased with the level of effort and commitment that GLK and its suppliers demonstrated during the testing, certification and system integration process,” commented Gaming Board Secretary Verdant R. Scott. “To have the interactive games offered by GLK comply with the highest standards for integrity, fairness and player protection is a milestone for the Bahamas. I look forward to the swift completion in upcoming weeks of the certification process for the remainder of our licensed Gaming Houses.”
GLI Vice President of iGaming Salem Adagio said, “With any new market opening, there are bound to be unforeseen challenges for stakeholders to face. However, close collaboration between the regulatory agency, operator, software suppliers and testing laboratory can make all the difference in terms of success level. This was the case here.”
GLI iGaming Service Delivery Manager Stephen Naylor added, “The Gaming Board, GLK and GLI cooperated greatly to reach this successful deployment goal. We could not be happier for everyone involved.”
