1. GAMING DEVICE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS (GLI-11)

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 General Statement. This chapter shall govern the types of information that are required
to be submitted by a submitting party in order to have equipment tested to the GLI-11 technical
standard. Where the information has not been submitted, or is not otherwise in the possession of
GLI, the submitting party shall be asked to supply additional information. Failure to supply the
information can result in denial of the submission and/or lead to testing delays.

1.1.2 Previous Submission. Where the testing laboratory has been previously supplied with
the information on a prior submission, duplicate documentation is not required, provided that the
previous information is referred to by the submitting party, and those documents are easily
located by the testing laboratory. Every effort shall be made to reduce the redundancy of
submission information.

NOTE: GLI-11 does not address submission requirements information for other gaming
components and systems such as central monitoring systems, linked progressive controllers, etc.
Please reference other applicable chapters of this document for additional GLI Standards.

1.2 Prototype (Full Submission)

1.2.1 General Statement. A Prototype (full submission) is a first-time submission of a

particular piece of hardware or software that has not previously been reviewed by GLI. For
Modifications of previous submissions, including required changes to a previously submitted
Prototype certification, whether certified or pending certification, see ‘Submissions of
Modifications’ below. The following items shall be submitted with each Prototype (full
submission):

GLI Standards Composite Submission Requirements Version 1.2
September 21, 2016

a) Submission Letter. Each submission shall include a request letter, on company

letterhead, dated within one (1) week of the date the submission is received by GLI. The
letter should include the following:
i The jurisdiction(s) for which certification is being requested;
ii The items requested for certification. In the case of software, the submitting party
shall include ID numbers and version numbers, as applicable. In the case of
hardware, the submitting party shall indicate the manufacturer and model number
of the associated components of hardware. If the hardware has undergone any
electrical and/or safety certification, such as Underwriter’s Laboratory or
equivalent, the submitting party shall provide supporting documentation for same;
and
iii A contact person who will serve as the main point of contact for engineering
questions raised during evaluation of the submission. This may be either the
person who signed the letter or another specified contact.
b) Random Number Generator (RNG) Submission. In some cases, the RNG shall be
submitted with the prototype (full submission) request. An RNG shall be submitted for
certification where:
i. The RNG code has changed or the RNG implementation has changed; or
ii. Where a previously certified RNG is being implemented on a new hardware
platform (i.e. change of microprocessor); or
iii. Where a previously certified RNG is generating numbers that are outside the
range of numbers previously tested; or
iv. The RNG has never been certified before under this standard. In this case, the
RNG will be certified as a part of the overall submission.

1.3 Random Number Generator

1.3.1 General Statement. The Random Number Generator (RNG) is an integral part of gaming
device software and must be carefully tested to ensure that it will meet the applicable technical
standards defined in GLI-11. GLI has developed the methods necessary to test that the RNG and

Page 2

GLI Standards Composite Submission Requirements Version 1.2
September 21, 2016

its associated logic are suitable for its intended usage in the desired market. In order to analyze
the RNG utilized by gaming device software in an accurate, efficient, and timely manner, GLI
requests that the manufacturer read the overview below to understand the submission
requirements which follow.

1.3.2 RNG Analysis Overview. The RNG analysis contains three primary items: source code
review, statistical data analysis, and software verification. The conclusion contained within the
final GLI report will be based off the results of testing conducted within the source code review
and the statistical data analysis. The conclusion will only be applicable to the RNG that is
identified through software verification. If this identification changes, than the conclusion will
no longer be applicable unless the reasons for the changes are also examined by GLI.

1.3.3 Source Code Review. GLI will review the code associated with generating random
numbers utilized in game play. The RNG and associated logic must be understood so that
potential weaknesses may be addressed. In order to perform this area of testing, GLI requires
submission of the final source code package associated with the RNG and game software. In the
case that a test application is created to pull data from the RNG, the source code for the test
application must also be provided such that GLI can confirm that it generates data in the same
manner as the production software.

1.3.4 Statistical Data Analysis. GLI will apply a battery of statistical tests to the data
generated by the RNG. The data must be collected using methods that are as close as possible to
those used when generating outcomes for game play in the field. If a hardware RNG is utilized
in the field, it must also be utilized in data collection. Depending on testing scope, GLI may also
collect binary data from the RNG that is not formatted for a specific game and apply a specific
analysis adapted for that type of data.

Example:
Suppose the RNG is to be analyzed for its use in drawing 5 repeatable integer values
from 1 to 49 inclusive (picking 5 numbers with replacement). GLI would need to be able

Page 3
Copyright  2016 Gaming Laboratories International, LLC All Rights Reserved.
GLI Standards Composite Submission Requirements Version 1.2
September 21, 2016

to generate, with the test application, a text file containing 51,000,000 records of 5
repeatable integers per record, drawn from a range of 49. The text file should be in a
computer-parsable format. The data generated on each line should be generated in the
exact manner a live game play would be conducted in the field.

In the case that multiple games and configurations are utilized by the RNG, GLI will examine
the various games and determine which test cases to utilize in order to properly evaluate the
RNG.

1.3.5 Software Verification. For the final report, GLI will need to be able to uniquely identify
the RNG that was tested. This means that GLI will record the key files and their respective
checksums (SHA1, MD5, or SHA256) in the report.

Example:
As a basic example, suppose we have RNG.dll which pulls a seed from a hardware RNG.
Next, suppose we have Game.exe which utilizes RNG.dll to generate random numbers in
production for the 5 reel game example given earlier. Finally, suppose there exists Test.exe
which calls RNG.dll to generate the test data described earlier as well. First, GLI will need
to be able to verify that the source code provided for review was used to build Game.exe,
RNG.dll, and Test.exe. In the simplest case, the manufacturer will send the source code and
compiled files. GLI will then compile the files independently. A checksum is taken of the
files compiled by the manufacturer and the ones compiled by GLI. If the signatures match,
then it is assured that the supplied code was used to build the supplied compiled files.
Alternatively, GLI can conduct a witnessed compile of the manufacturer’s product and take
the necessary signatures during compilation.

Second, GLI must identify the hardware generator seed source used during testing. GLI will
need to confirm that the hardware generator is utilized in data collection and in generating
gaming outcomes in the field.

In this example, the report would display the checksum of Game.exe and RNG.dll and an
explanation of the usage of the hardware RNG. The goal of the software verification is to be
able to uniquely identify the tested RNG and its associated source code.

Page 4

GLI Standards Composite Submission Requirements Version 1.2
September 21, 2016

A similar method will need to be developed based upon the manufacturer’s RNG implementation
and system architecture. The goal will be the same. GLI is open to suggestions on how this may
be done for the system being submitted.

GLI can begin source code review after a local copy of the source code for the field application
and test application are submitted.

In order to begin data analysis, GLI will need to have a clear understanding of all the calls made
to the RNG and the specific parameters used by the game(s). The data sets will be based off of
these calls. To provide efficient pricing and turnaround time for RNG evaluations, GLI may
prefer to review the source code first to confirm that everything is in order before the data is
collected and analyzed.

Software verification will become clearer during source code review.

1.3.6 RNG Source Code. Source code shall be final and no longer in testing or development
stages. Source code shall be delivered in full along with the compiled binaries. Source code will
be compiled by GLI and digital signatures will be taken during compile to ensure that the
product being tested is the final release version that will be implemented in the field.

1.3.7 RNG Final Outcome Collection Tool. A data collection tool along with source code
shall be available to allow GLI to collect data in a manner similar to the manner in which game
data is produced in the final release version of the production application. This tool must utilize
the same RNG and associated methods that are used to generate game outcomes. The tool shall
allow the user to specify, at a minimum, the following input: number of draws/games. The
collection tool shall output data in a computer-parsable format. Note: GLI’s data collection
requirements are large. Please expect that GLI may require hundreds of millions of draws,
depending on game format. In most cases, the larger the game range, the larger the number of
draws required. Depending on the implementation, data may be collected in hours, days, weeks,
or months. If there are questions or concerns about this, please raise them immediately.

1.3.8 Raw Output Collection Tool. If required by scope of work, a binary data collection tool

Page 5
Copyright  2016 Gaming Laboratories International, LLC All Rights Reserved.
GLI Standards Composite Submission Requirements Version 1.2
September 21, 2016

shall be available to allow GLI to collect output from the RNG prior to scaling, shuffling, etc.
The data collection should be capable of generating approximately 96 million bits of data written
in binary format. Alternatively, the tool may output raw data (un-scaled) in ASCII format.

1.3.9 RNG Description and Documentation. A technical description of the RNG shall be
submitted. This may include appropriate documents detailing the RNG design and construction,
as well as details related to methods that manipulate the RNG output (i.e., algorithms related to
scaling, shuffling, selection, etc.).

1.3.10 Game Description and Documentation. A document explaining the game rules,
including help screens, pay tables, etc. shall be submitted.

1.3.11 Technical Source Code Description and Documentation. A document explaining the
source code shall be submitted. This document shall have sufficient documentation of the files
and methods used so that one can follow the source code logic from the instantiation of the RNG
to the generation of final outcome data.

original system or hardware components.

9.3.3 Modification of Software. The submitter should use the same requirements as in the
‘Software Submission Requirements – Prototype (Full Submission) Certification’ Section listed
above, except where the documentation has not changed. In this case, a resubmission of
identical documents is not required. However, the submission must include a description of the
software change(s), modules affected, and new source code for the entire program. Source code
is required for the entire program to allow for its verification.

9.4 Joint Venture Submissions

9.4.1 General Statement. A system is considered a joint venture when two or more companies
are involved in the manufacturing of one system. Due to the increasing amount of joint venture
submissions (more than one supplier involved in a product submission) and to alleviate any
confusion to the suppliers and regulator clients, GLI has set forth the following procedures for
such a submission.

a) One company will prepare and submit the entire submission, even if they are using parts
from other suppliers, and must identify all part numbers of all components. This will be the
primary contact for the submission.
b) The company submitting an approval request should do so on their letterhead. GLI will
delegate an internal file number in this company’s name and will bill this company for all
costs incurred throughout the approval process.
c) The primary contact will be called when questions arise. However, GLI engineers will work
with all parties involved, completing the review.
d) All suppliers who are part of the submission “group” may need to be licensed in the
jurisdiction(s) where the submission is being approved. As a courtesy to the supplier,

Page 78

GLI Standards Composite Submission Requirements Version 1.2
September 21, 2016

GLI may inquire as to whom does not need to be licensed from the regulator client. It
should be noted that licensing questions should be handled directly with the jurisdiction.
e) Upon completion, it is the primary contact company that will receive the approval letter,
provided the submission meets the jurisdictional requirements. The primary contact
company may then release copies of the approval letter to the associated manufacturer(s).

16. NETWORK SECURITY SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS (GLI-27)

16.1 Network Security Submission Requirements

16.1.1 Network Security Submission Requirements. Due to the unique nature of network
security certification (i.e. essential phases of certification will occur within the gaming property)
submission requirements for these system types will be handled on a case-by-case basis between
the parties requesting certification and GLI. These submission requirements may include, but
will not be limited to:

a) Hardware and software components needed to build the network for testing purposes;
b) Application source code;
c) Build instructions;
d) Database scripts;
e) Installation policies and procedures;
f) Network diagrams; and
g) Identification of system components which may vary between installations.

NOTE: Nothing in this document, nor any of the above unique submission requirements are
intended to invalidate any prior standards-based certification. If a network has previously been
certified under another GLI standard (which typically has its own unique submission
requirements), then nothing in this best practices document should negate or invalidate that
prior certification. Any recommendations provided in GLI-27 should be viewed as additive or
supplemental to any standards-based certification, and must only be enforced as applicable and
appropriate to the specific network in question.

It is also important to acknowledge here that any certification of a network’s security would
typically require a multi-phase analysis approach. For example, GLI could evaluate certain

Page 91
Copyright  2016 Gaming Laboratories International, LLC All Rights Reserved.
GLI Standards Composite Submission Requirements Version 1.2
September 21, 2016

network components such as modems, bridges, routers, servers, etc., on a standalone basis to
determine if the specific component satisfies certain network security guidelines. However, in
most cases, it is expected that a second phase of analysis would be required, using the actual live
network. Analysis of the overall network, with all components properly configured is the
ultimate test-bed for any network security certification.

Should the network being certified, participate in functions covered by other GLI standards, the
submission requirements within those documents may apply.

d) All suppliers who are part of the submission “group” may need to be licensed in the
jurisdiction(s) where the submission is being approved. As a courtesy to the supplier,
GLI may inquire as to whom does not need to be licensed from the regulator client. It
should be noted that licensing questions should be handled directly with the jurisdiction.
e) Upon completion, it is the primary contact company that will receive the approval letter,
provided the submission meets the jurisdictional requirements. The primary contact
company may then release copies of the approval letter to the associated manufacturer(s).
