16. Submission Requirements for Approval of Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems

The objective of the requirements in this section is to ensure that Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems are submitted in a manner that enables efficient review of submitted items in a timely manner.

16.1 Submission Requirements

16.1.1 Gaming-Related Suppliers must provide necessary information, training, and tools pertaining to the Gaming Devices, Gaming Systems, or both for which the approval is being requested to help facilitate the AGCO to assess, test, and issue decisions in a timely manner.

16.1.2 All requests for approval of Gaming Devices and Gaming Systems must adhere to the submission requirements, “AGCO Casino Gaming Lab Submission Requirements”.

Note:

This may be most efficiently achieved by Gaming-Related Suppliers providing a secure electronic mechanism to provide their submissions to the AGCO, e.g. via sFTP.

16.1.3 For any Game software submitted to the AGCO for approval, the Gaming-Related Supplier must ensure that the Game behaves in accordance with the rules of Play (i.e pays, triggers, substitutions, etc. all function in accordance with the rules of Play).

Guidance:

This standard is intended to enable the AGCO to place reliance on the Gaming-Related Suppliers’ internal quality assurance processes for emulation to confirm the game behaves in accordance with the Game rules.

Note:

If this standard will cause any delay in the Gaming-Related Supplier submitting products to Ontario for approval, please contact the AGCO Gaming Lab to discuss options.
