Gaming Laboratories International (GLI)

Licensing & Regulatory

The world’s leading independent testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) company for the gaming industry. GLI tests and certifies electronic gaming machines (EGMs), gaming systems, online gaming platforms, and lottery systems against jurisdictional standards to ensure they meet requirements for random number generation (RNG), return-to-player (RTP) percentages, security, and operational integrity. GLI has certified nearly 2 million items and has tested equipment for more than 710 jurisdictions worldwide. Many gaming regulators require GLI (or equivalent accredited laboratory) certification as a condition of game or equipment approval.

One entry from the Casino Industry Glossary — 1,157 terms written for surveillance, compliance and operations professionals rather than for players. Definitions describe industry usage; where a term carries a regulatory meaning, verify against the instrument that governs your jurisdiction.
