Online Gaming Systems Ltd. a leading provider of casino turnkey solutions, today announced its FIRE system has been certified as compliant with respect to the Northern Territory (Australia) Treasury Technical Functionality requirements. The certification of the FIRE software system is part of the on-going approval process by the Northern Territory Treasury for Casino Paraiso.

The FIRE product has been designed with security, performance, third party integration and scalability in mind. The java-designed system has been loaded with controls that comply with operating a casino in a regulated environment as well as giving the casino operator the flexibility of integrating with their existing systems. The system has been tested to handle more than 1,000 simultaneous users on a single Game Server and can be scaled up to many times that figure by utilizing additional Game Servers.

The certification was completed by GGS, the world's leading Internet testing company and accredited in the world's leading regulated jurisdictions. The certification testing will be summarized in a report to be submitted to NTT during the next month.

Northern Territory was the first regulated jurisdiction for Internet gaming in the world, and its regulations are the world's most stringent. We are confidant that our FIRE product can be certified anywhere in the world, thereby reducing the time to market and cost of compliance for our customers."
