The GDS protocol is GSA’s USB-based serial protocol used to connect gaming devices with peripheral devices such as printers, note acceptors, and card readers. The GDS protocol combines the powerful plug-and-play capabilities of USB 2.0 with the ability to download new firmware to peripheral devices. MEI was involved in the creation of GDS and has developed and delivered GDS compliant product to the Aria casino in Las Vegas in November 2009.
