Games Certification

Games testing is centred around the focussed approach our team takes to make sure the games are compliant with the relevant authorities. At Ontario Gaming Laboratories, we do this by following our meticulous list of tests that ensures your game is compliant to the highest standard while aiming to offer cost effective service. Ontario Gaming Laboratories have assessed a wide range of games (Slots, Single and Multi-Player Table Games, Game of Chance, Keno, Scratch Cards etc.,) on varied gaming platforms and channels. We also offer transfer of approvals (TOA) between jurisdictions.

Our games testing methodology complies with all jurisdictions and involve but not limited to:

 
  • Game artwork & rules evaluations
  • Functional testing of games
  • Emulation testing of games
  • Return to Player (RTP) calculations for each game (applicable for single player games)
  • Source code review
  • Randomness and fairness of the game
  • Game reports (including branded reports for Italy)

RNG & RTP Testing

RNG Testing and Certification

The Random Number Generator (RNG) is the heart of game functionality and player confidence to game outcomes and fairness. Ontario Gaming Laboratories have tested and certified various RNG’s (Pseudo or Software and Hardware) with majority being Pseudo RNG’s.

Our thorough tests of the RNG assess the statistical randomness, unpredictability and non-repeatability of the RNG. Tests include but not limited to “diehard” and “chi-square” tests, source code review and RNG implementation.

Software RNG testing occurs in 3 main stages which are examination and compilation of source code to evaluate RNG algorithms and their implementation, subjecting the numbers generated to the ‘diehard’ and other statistical tests and finally generating sample scaled output and applying ‘Chi-square’ and other tests.

Hardware RNG is tested based on specific requirements to ensure that no weaknesses exist, this all takes place within the first stage of testing. The second and third stages revolve around the determining statistical randomness, as well as the unpredictability and non-repeatability of the RNG in conjunction with all compliance standards set by the various jurisdictions we operate in Europe & Australiasia. We also offer transfer of approvals (TOA) between jurisdictions.

 

RTP Testing

Percentage Return To Player (%RTP) calculations are performed and game mathematics is assessed to ensure compliancy to applicable regulatory requirements. Actual RTP value is calculated as the percentage of the money won divided by moneys bet over a large number of game plays. The actual RTPs are then compared against theoretical RTPs to confirm the outcomes are close as expected.

Integration Testing

Integration testing plays crucial role in the early development of any platform as it not only finds errors in your software interface, it also roots out issues in the interactions of different modules in the system.

By engaging in integration testing with Ontario Gaming Laboratories guarantees that problems in the software and platform are found and fixed early saving you from investing both time and money in the future to fix these issues as they will be more deeply rooted into your system.
