international reach of our new members clearly underscores the global relevance
of our standards, across jurisdictions and across disciplines within the gaming
industry. Already their participation and additional specific requirements will
add significant functionality to the new versions of our standards under
development."
The
GSA is an international trade association that
creates benefits for gaming manufacturers, suppliers, operators and regulators
by facilitating the identification, definition, development, promotion, and
