Rocket Gaming Systems Upgrades GSA Membership1 March 2005LAS VEGAS – (PRESS RELEASE) -- As interest in the gaming industry spreads around the world, global membership in the Gaming Standards Association (GSA) continues to grow. Now GSA is proud to announce that Rocket Gaming Systems has upgraded its membership in the organization to Platinum. Ron W. Harris, CEO at Rocket Gaming has been appointed to the GSA Board of Directors. Rocket Gaming Systems has been a member of GSA since March 2003. Using innovative technology, Rocket Gaming Systems provides designs, develops, and delivers linked interactive electronic gaming systems and player stations for central determinant gaming markets. From its central communications hub, Rocket Gaming provides Class II gaming to its customers through a nationwide, broadband telecommunications network, enabling players in multiple facilities to simultaneously participate in the same game to compete against one another for wide area progressive ("WAP") jackpots. In addition to Rocket Gaming Systems, Belatra Co., Ltd. of Belarus joined GSA as a Gold Member and Standing Stone Gaming of the Oneida Indian Nation has joined as a Silver Member. GSA President Peter DeRaedt said, "We are proud to have these members join GSA. We welcome their participation and recognize that operators and manufacturers alike are increasingly aware of the value of standards and the benefits they will bring to all aspects of the industry." Rocket Gaming CEO, Ron Harris said, "The efforts of GSA will forever change the manner in which content providers, large and small, bring their product to the casino floor. The 'plug-and-play' environment that the GSA standards foster will lead to higher efficiencies for casino operators due to the 'out-of-the-box' interoperability between vendor systems. The compatibility of vendor systems will also enable operators to offer a wider selection of innovative, entertaining gaming solutions for their customers. The higher operating efficiencies and increase in vendor choice will ultimately lead to higher profits for the casino operators. We are proud of our involvement in the GSA and are actively encouraging as many of our Tribal operators to join as possible." GSA offers multiple levels of membership ranging from Platinum, Gold and Silver to Advisory and Affiliate. Each level comes with a wide range of benefits. Supporting memberships are also available for companies who wish to join GSA without IP restrictions. For more information on the many benefits of membership, visit gamingstandards.com. |
