GLI Updates Kiosk Standards

GLI has published an update to its standards for kiosks, incorporating the latest technological trends in the product area to reflect best-in-industry practices.

Leading gaming testing company Gaming Laboratories International LLC has invited the industry to comment on its draft of updated standards for casino kiosks that offer a range of services such as ticket redemption, bill breaking and ATM functions.

In a press statement, GLI said its “GLI-20 v2.0, Standards for Kiosks” incorporated the “latest technical trends” and ensured such standards would “better align with overlapping requirements” in the GLI “family of technical standards and other industry standards.” GLI added the update was also designed to reflect “best-in-industry practices.”

New Jersey-based GLI is seeking industry feedback, which it says it will then interpret, evaluate and resolve in the context of a final version of the updated technical standards.

“The changes are largely designed to improve the clarity and consistency of requirements,” said the press statement.

The company said the various standards it set were meant to help regulators by creating baseline technical guidelines, which they could adopt, and refer to as they found appropriate. GLI added such guidelines were also valuable to equipment suppliers, as those firms could use them as a guide in their design and development processes.
