| Source: Gaming Standards Association
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - October 27, 2009) - Radical Blue Gaming, a developer of software
applications for the Gaming Standards Association's protocols, is offering
free copies of their tools to casinos and other interested parties that
want to better understand the potential of the Game to System (G2S)
protocol.
This offer includes student versions of RadBlue's G2S host simulator (RGS),
EGM simulator (RST), and Protocol Analyzer (RPA) -- perfect for learning
about G2S before it arrives in the casino. Developed for the G2S Certified
Engineer courses offered by GSA University, the student versions are
functionally identical to the production versions except the tools
communicate only with each other.
For information on obtaining complimentary student licenses, go to the
RadBlue website (www.radblue.com) or contact Russ Ristine
(russ@radblue.com). Product demonstrations for RPA and RST can be found at
www.radblue.com/demos/demos.htm. GSA will have information available on the
free student tools in its booth at the upcoming Global Gaming Expo. GSA
will be in booth #2192.
GSA President Peter DeRaedt said, "We are very excited that RadBlue is
offering free student versions of these toolkits. Our members have been
working very hard for the past three years to develop and perfect the G2S
protocol, and the result is nothing less than astounding. Now, with these
student versions of the toolkits, developers and other users can become
more familiar with G2S and the incredible potential it holds."
"With nearly 2,000 copies of our products in use by developers, casinos,
and test labs, RadBlue's tools have become the reference implementation for
GSA's protocols. We've worked closely with GSA on the development and
deployment of G2S, and believe that now is the perfect time to make our
products available to casinos and others, so they can experience the
amazing capabilities of G2S first hand," said RadBlue Vice President, Russ
Ristine.
