Gaming Laboratories International recently hosted a meeting with Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau to discuss ways to strengthen growth in mass-market gaming in the Chinese territory.
Paulo Martins Chan, director of the DICJ, as the agency is known by its Portuguese initials, said, “Since GLI handles most of the machine testing in Macau, we intend to work more closely to increase testing for the market. Our focus is to further develop the mass market, and our collaboration offers a significant prospect for the future.”
Future meetings will be scheduled between the DICJ and GLI to make this happen in stages, he said.
In other news, GLI said it solidified its commitment to the safety, security and integrity of the Canadian gaming industry by becoming the first independent test lab to join the Gaming Security Professionals of Canada, a non-profit group that represents major gaming organizations across the nation and across all sectors, including casinos, lottery ticket systems, video lottery networks and internet gaming.
“Having worked with many of the individuals and organizations at the GSPC, we are looking to continue to learn, share and contribute GLI’s expertise in lottery and gaming security,” said Thomas Bierbach, who heads the lab’s Lottery and Gaming Practice.
