“The South Dakota Lottery is one of the most highly regulated lotteries in North America and one of the most closely scrutinized agencies in South Dakota state government,” said Lottery Executive Director Norm Lingle. “We have an intricate system of checks and balances that involves every branch of our state government, and GLI’s testing capabilities help to keep that balance and maintain the public trust that is essential for a lottery’s success.”
GLI Sr. Director of Corporate Compliance Andy Comer said, “Our relationship with the South Dakota Lottery is long-standing and important to everyone at GLI. The South Dakota Lottery is world-renowned and respected for its stringent standards, and we are thrilled that, being free to choose any testing lab in the world, the Lottery has chosen to continue its exclusive relationship with GLI.”
GLI has a separate contract with the South Dakota Commission on Gaming to provide comprehensive testing on a wide variety of gaming equipment including slots, systems and peripheral equipment.
The contracts with the South Dakota Commission on Gaming and the South Dakota Lottery were the first contracts in GLI’s history, which has since grown to more than 450 jurisdictions globally.
