BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (June 22, 2018) – Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®) is pleased to announce that it has signed a 12-month agreement with the Lottery of the City of Buenos Aires (LOTBA) to provide a variety of advisory, consulting, training, and auditing services related to games of chance and their connected activities.

The Lottery of the City of Buenos Aires has the competence to authorize, organize, operate, collect, administer, and control games of chance, skill games, and pari-mutuel wagering and connected activities in the territory of the City of Buenos Aires.

“We are also thankful for the confidence that LOTBA has placed in GLI’s global resources to deliver the type of outstanding results the Latin American and Caribbean gaming and lottery industries have come to expect from GLI,” said Karen Sierra-Hughes, GLI’s Director of Latin American and Caribbean Government Relations and Business Development. “This agreement with LOTBA further underscores GLI’s strong commitment to the Latin American and Caribbean region, as evidenced also by our upcoming Latin American and Caribbean Regulators Roundtable in Lima, Peru August 6 – 8.”

“This agreement is very important for the Lottery of the City because we understand GLI´s prestige and global recognition. The signing of this agreement will allow us to train our team and continue to work in line with our transparency principles,” said Martín García Santillán, President of LOTBA.
