RG24seven Virtual Training, the responsible, effective, and free video-based virtual training system for gaming employees, and a BMM Innovation Group company, is pleased to offer exclusive courses in collaboration with BMM Testlabs exploring the GAT Protocol, Forensic Investigations, and the Journey to a Submission in a test lab.
Wendy Anderson, CEO of RG24seven Virtual Training, said, “We are proud to present three new courses about product testing and compliance in conjunction with BMM Testlabs. Our courses are developed in collaboration with subject matter experts, and when it comes to testing and compliance, few organizations can match the expertise of BMM Testlabs.”
Travis Foley, Chief Government and Regulatory Officer of BMM Testlabs, added, “BMM Testlabs is pleased to present GAT, Journey to a Submission, and Forensic Investigations on RG24seven Virtual Training’s platform.

In Journey to a Submission, we follow the journey of a gaming product from its manufacturer to the testing lab before its ultimate approval for use on the casino floor.”
Anderson concluded, “RG24seven Virtual Training provides an easily accessible platform for learners to explore important topics. Learners can easily access knowledge on compliance standards, forensic methodologies and other techniques tailored for gaming machines. We encourage team leaders, casino operators, and regulators to contact us to learn how they can implement these courses for their organizations at no cost with no strings attached.”
