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
