Gambling software testing agency BMM International Pty. Ltd. has released a white paper discussing the technical requirements of intranet gaming. The paper, "Intranet Gaming in the Context of the Technical Requirements Imposed by Australasian Gaming Jurisdictions," was written after BMM was approached by several Internet gaming system suppliers regarding the technical requirements of intranet gaming.
"A number of our Internet gaming clients have asked BMM for advice on how their systems might be introduced into the traditional Australian gaming market as intranet gaming systems," explained BMM Managing Director Hugh Monypenny. The 19-page paper outlines various technical issues that need to be addressed in the implementation of secure and regulated intranet gaming systems.
Bringing Internet gaming systems into an intranet is a logical step, according to BMM, but marrying it to conventional gaming systems has issues with regard to compliance with current technical requirements definitions. "These can be overcome, but will require some thought and agreement across a number of jurisdictions within the context of the Australian national standards," Monypenny said.
He added, "It is very important that in developing the next generations of data communications protocols we bear in mind the requirements of intranet gaming systems. More to the point, Internet gaming system suppliers have a real contribution to make in helping to develop those protocols. The industry as a whole needs to be moving as quickly as possible towards agreed on and establishing common standards in these and other areas."
