Pre-Approved Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems

Per the Interim Standards and Requirements Established by the Registrar pursuant to section 3.8 of the Gaming Control Act, 1992, all Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems must be submitted to the Registrar for approval and approved for use in Ontario prior to being provided to any Gaming Site.  The Registrar has determined that some types of Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems may be pre-approved.  These types of products will not need to be submitted to the Registrar for approval and will be considered as pre-approved Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems, provided specified conditions are met.  This is based on these types of Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems being of low risk and reliance being placed on the Gaming-Related Supplier’s quality assurance and compliance with any applicable standards.  Two categories of pre-approved Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems have been determined; pre-approved Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems not requiring notification, and pre-approved Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems requiring notification.
