Industry advocate Gaming Standards Association (GSA) has welcomed

membership increase comes on the heels of GSA's incredibly
successful demonstrations at the recent Global Gaming Expo. The
demonstrations showcased GSA's members' cooperative work on Gaming
Device Standards (GDS), the Best of Breed project and SAS(TM) Tool
Kit, and highlighted the potential for positive changes to the
entire gaming industry by strengthening protocol standards. GSA
Board Chairman Gregg Solomon of Mandalay Resort Group said, "We had
an extremely successful showing at G2E, and are thrilled that the
demonstrations were so well received. We are pleased that GSA's
membership continues to grow, as more and more companies across the
globe embrace our vision of comprehensive industry standards."
Standards have the potential to streamline the industry and save
untold dollars in development and research, and reap rewards for
operators by ensuring that devices can and do communicate
correctly. Standards also can shorten the time to market for
vendors and suppliers. GSA will next participate in the
International Casino Exposition (ICE) in London this coming
January, where it will officially launch the SAS(TM) Tool Kit.
