Gaming Laboratories International is to add 100 qualified testing personnel to its organisation over the next six months.
The additional staff will push the company's global employee count to 750 working across the company's 20 lab locations.
"We have one goal: to ensure that each of the 455 regulators around the globe who use GLI, and the 130 regulated markets who rely on GLI exclusively, will have more than enough testing resources to speed the time to market for products and new technology initiatives destined for their markets," said vice president Paul Magno.
The new engineers and support staff will be placed mostly in labs in Nevada and Colorado, US, to provide additional support to the state of Nevada for private testing. GLI's Barcelona lab will also see an increase in engineering staff.
The company said its drive to add new testing staff is a response to increasing demand for its testing services in land-based gaming in the US, Asia and Australia, and in i-gaming markets in Europe and Canada.
"We are proud that today we can report GLI has the shortest turnaround times in the gaming testing industry, having reduced times by nearly 40 per cent over where we were just a year ago," continued Magno. "Increasing staff by 100 will empower us to continue this momentum in existing markets while adding to our abilities in new markets, such as Ohio gaming, Ohio video lottery, Illinois video gaming and Nevada."
