GSA releases clarifications to G2S protocol
April 29, 2009
The
Gaming Standards Association and its committees have been working toward the
goal of total interoperability between devices and systems. Now GSA has
released important clarifications to its groundbreaking G2S protocol standard
that takes the gaming industry even further down the path of interoperability.
GSA’s G2S Committee has released the “G2S Message
Protocol v2.0.1.” The package includes the protocol, errata, schema
files and an important clarification document that fine tunes many points of
the G2S protocol. The document is available for free and can be immediately
downloaded from the GSA’s Web site,
www.gamingstandards.com.
GSA Technical Director Marc McDermott said, “The G2S
protocol was a huge leap forward for the industry. Like with any new
technology, as you start to use it, you come across details and minor issues
that need clarification. This document helps to answer questions about the
protocol and provides manufacturers even more information, so that we as an
industry can enhance the interoperability of our products making operators’
dreams of plug-and-play a reality.”
The document, like the protocol itself, was developed by
GSA’s G2S Committee. The committee is comprised of a wide range of
representatives from the global gaming industry.
