The G2E tradeshow floor will be heavily populated with GSA member companies who understand the importance of standardized protocols and who have participated in developing GSA’s landmark and award-winning standards.
For example, GSA’s Game to System (G2S) Protocol has been named “Best Productivity-Enhancement Technology” by Global Gaming Business Magazine, one of the “Top Three International Gaming Products” by IGWB Magazine; one of Casino Journal magazine’s “Top 3 Most Innovative Products”; and one of Casino Enterprise Management’s “Top 10 Slot Floor Technologies.”
GSA has also developed the System to System (S2S) and the Gaming Device Standard (GDS) standards. Additionally, GSA has created GSA University, a training program for engineers to learn and deploy GSA standards correctly.
