Which term refers to an international trade association that creates standards for gambling machine manufacturers, suppliers, operators and regulators to enable interoperability and innovation across the industry?

• A. Gambling Software
• B. Gambling Standards Association
• C. Game to System (G2S)
• D. Game Protocol Converter

Answer: (B)

A standards body for the gambling industry is the best fit here. It’s the international trade association that drafts and maintains industry-wide standards so gambling machines, systems, and services from different vendors can work together smoothly across operators and regulators. This kind of organization drives interoperability and encourages innovation by providing common interfaces and data formats that everyone can adopt.

The other options don’t describe an association: one is just a type of software, another is a specific protocol that enables game-to-system communication, and the last is a device that translates between protocols.
