Gaming Forensic Evaluation Process

 

  1. GLI’s Forensic Evaluation Service offers a comprehensive and expert witness analysis of gaming machines and their critical components. This service aims to identify the precise cause of any abnormal incident and to resolve disputes that may arise from player concerns. Our evaluations are designed to provide unbiased third-party testing.
  2. The forensic analysis process begins with an exhaustive and well-documented inspection of all gaming devices submitted for evaluation. Our expert engineers meticulously examine each device for signs of tampering, damage, or any other irregularities. This involves a detailed inspection of the device’s memory and a comprehensive analysis of the source code to identify potential program corruption, ensuring the highest standards of third-party testing.
  3. Following the initial inspection, a thorough analysis of all relevant game and system logs is conducted. This step is crucial in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the malfunction and pinpointing the root cause of the issue. Our engineers then attempt to recreate the specific incident in a controlled environment, taking every necessary step to preserve the integrity of all evidence in the exact condition it was received, showcasing our commitment to precise and objective third-party testing.
  4. Upon finalizing the Forensic Evaluation, a detailed and conclusive report is generated. This report outlines all the testing procedures undertaken, provides comprehensive test results, and includes a closing summary that elucidates the incident and identifies the cause of the problem, if applicable. This document serves as a crucial component of expert witness testimony in resolving gaming disputes.
