GLI and Universidad Nacional de La Plata create GLI South America

The new GLI South America will offer both gaming device and system testing services and independent field inspection services.

GLI Vice President and co-founder Paul Magno said, “GLI is extremely pleased to be working with UNLP. This is a perfect fit in many ways - technological capabilities and commitment to integrity being at the forefront. UNLP has an outstanding reputation, and we are thrilled to have them as part of the GLI family as we continue to expand our services around the globe.”

UNLP Director Javier Diaz said: “Since 2002, UNLP has continuously been working in topics related to control of slot machines and online systems. The work we have been performing is interdisciplinary and involves working with information rated to hardware, software, communications, systems, database and processes, particularly as they relate to computer technology safety and technological auditing. This agreement with GLI is seen as a great advance, allowing us to get the highest international level of information and training for our professionals and technicians and to allow us to work with certifications and standards with worldwide validity.”

Roberto Pizzi, Director of Systems of the Lottery of the Province of Buenos Aires said,

“The maturity achieved by the technological platform for the control of electronic gaming devices of the Province of Buenos Aires requires certifications and inspections complying with international standards and that has validity in multiple districts. The Province of Buenos Aires considers the strategic alliance between GLI and UNLP a step forward for the region.”

Gustavo Aspiazu, President of the National University of La Plata, said: “It also makes us think in other ways of using the technological improvements, to train human resources according to these improvements as well as the control requirements. The university is also a warrant of transparency and security within this homologation process.”

The agreement benefits Argentina by providing increased testing technology and advanced regulation to the gaming industry and by creating jobs. The agreement also allows GLI to serve the South American markets better than ever because GLI will now have native Spanish speakers ready to work with both regulators and manufacturers.

UNLP, one of the most respected universities in Argentina, has a long history of being at the forefront of partnering with technologically leading companies around the world and brining knowledge and technology from those companies to Argentina, including CISCO, IBM, Microsoft and SUN.

Earlier this year, GLI announced expansion in Europe, with the creation of GLI Austria. With the addition of GLI South America, GLI now operates 11 offices on six continents.

GLI will be celebrating the opening of GLI South America at its stand at the upcoming South American Gaming Suppliers Expo (SAGSE), held this week at Centro Costa Salguero in Buenos Aires. GLI will be in stand number L-5.
