What are onsite inspections in the regulated gaming industry?
Onsite inspections are in-person evaluations conducted by independent, qualified experts to verify that gaming devices, gaming systems, and related equipment are operating securely, accurately, and in compliance with jurisdictional requirements. These inspections provide assurance to operators and regulators that their gaming floor and supporting infrastructure meet the highest standards of integrity.
Why are onsite inspections important for casinos and regulators?
Onsite inspections help identify vulnerabilities, test system performance for accuracy, and ensure equipment aligns with approved configurations. Onsite inspections support regulatory oversight, strengthen casino floor security, and enable operators to maintain reliable and compliant gaming floors.
What is software verification, and why does it matter for casinos and regulators?
Software verification is the process of validating the versions, signatures, configurations, and integrity of software used in gaming systems and devices. This ensures that only compliant, authorized software is installed, helping prevent tampering, unauthorized access, or changes, and operational inconsistencies.
