GSA forges educational link in Macau

The Gaming Standards Association (GSA) has signed a memo of understanding with the Macao Polytechnic Institute (MPI), which will now act as GSA’s office in Asia, establishing a location for GSA on the continent. GSA will support MPI in spreading the technical knowledge of GSA’s gaming protocol standards to students in Macao and of Asia.

The agreement expresses GSA’s and MPI’s mutual commitment to providing education related to the very latest gaming technology and open communication standards.

Peter DeRaedt, GSA President, said, “This is a major step forward for GSA. The industry is keenly aware of the expansion of gaming in Macao and the future development that is to come to Asia. We are very pleased to be at the forefront of that growth, laying the groundwork for what will be an intense adoption and implementation of GSA standards.”

The first step involves MPI sending a six-member delegation to the November Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, which will conduct a feasibility study into setting up a slot certification centre in Macau.
