The accreditation allows GLI to evaluate the GDS protocol implementation for peripheral suppliers and will provide additional confidence to those suppliers' direct customers. GLI is the first and currently the only test lab accredited to perform this testing for GSA certification.

Both GLI's Las Vegas laboratory and Colorado laboratories are A2LA-accredited to test for GSA certification for the G2S, GAT, S2S and Transport protocols.

GLI Sr. Director of Engineering Dave Daniels said, "This is an important accreditation that we take very seriously. Meeting A2LA's strict requirements demands us to be meet the most rigorous and thorough standards of testing, and we are very pleased to be the first gaming testing lab in the world to have obtained this accreditation."

GSA President Peter DeRaedt said, "I congratulate GLI on attaining this accreditation. We have worked with GLI closely for many years, and we are very pleased that they have reached this milestone. Our member companies rely on certification as a key part of their R&D and sales processes, and we are pleased that our members can now be tested for GDS certification through a certified test lab."

Great prizes and a spectacular roulette bonus in Power Spin, Zitro’s latest game

Posted: 10 Jun 2013 03:55 AM PDT

 

Power Spin is the new game Zitro launched onto the market in May, and in its first days of existence it has received nothing but good reviews. In this title, the world's leading video bingo games company has combined some of the most successful features of its games, such as great playability, the themes and the design of one of its star products, the Powermania Bonus game.

A new feature included in Power Spin is a spectacular Bonus Roulette. This is a bonus prize reminiscent of the successful Zitro game Spin Bingo, which depends on the skill of the person spinning the roulette wheel to obtain more and better prizes. The player activates the wheel and leaves the choice of prize to chance; the more bets placed, the bigger the prizes!

This Bonus mode was introduced by Zitro in its Spin Bingo game, making it a pioneer once again by introducing elements in its games which allow interactivity between the player and the game, offering a unique entertainment experience. Details like this are what set Zitro apart and make it the game player's favourite in the markets where it is present.

This strategy of combining highly successful products is Zitro's way of rewarding its customers' loyalty, in a constant attempt to offer new products and versions adapted to their tastes.
