2015 IN REVIEW
STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT Finalizing the industry’s first online gaming standard Completion of CVT1.0 and CVT2.0 toolkits supporting G2S Started on the development of the regulatory submission
standard for the exchange of product and approval information.
STANDARDS ADOPTION Re-articulated benefits for operators and manufacturers Published a series of Case Studies Published the 2015 adoption survey Published the G2S vs. SAS comparison(details available for download from www.gamingstandards.com)
G2S vs. SAS: GIVING UP BAD HABITS SHORT TERM PAIN FOR LONG TERM GAIN
A SAS EGM: Is NOT extensible Requires external hardware Introduces additional points of failure Only offers some or limited G2S functionality Cannot natively run the PUI Does not use open transport and security standards
A G2S EGM: Is based on an extensible architecture designed to address
future needs Does NOT need any additional external system hardware Offers a wealth of features and information Natively supports the Player User Interface (PUI) Is based on on open industry standards
