BMM Testlabs, a global provider of gaming certification and testing services, has secured full access to the U.S. Class III certification market, set to begin in 2025. 

The milestone reflects the conclusion of a 25-year effort and a $20 million investment aimed at expanding the company’s footprint in land-based gaming regulatory services.

Key takeaways:

  • BMM Testlabs secures full U.S. Class III certification after a 25-year effort
  • Enables faster approvals and broader testing services for casino gaming products
  • Expands international testing capabilities, including in the UAE and garners industry awards

Kirk White, president of land-based gaming and inspections at BMM Testlabs, described the achievement as opening new avenues for growth and leadership within the industry. 

The Class III certification allows BMM to conduct regulatory testing on a wider range of gaming products, including slot machines and complex casino gaming systems, supporting operators and suppliers through faster approvals and compliance processes.

Class III Certification Unlocks Market Efficiency

With the new certification capability, BMM is positioned to enhance its support for gaming companies operating in the U.S., offering greater flexibility and accelerated market entry. 

Beyond testing, the company provides inspections, audits and assistance with market entry, including mechanisms to transfer accepted test results between jurisdictions. This approach aims to reduce the time and cost associated with repeated testing.

Recent company reports indicate that BMM has experienced double-digit growth in land-based testing and certification services, outpacing general market trends. The progress aligns with the launch of the BMM Innovation Group’s 2025–2026 World Tour. 

The tour is to commence at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas from October 6-9, where BMM plans to present its latest service offerings and innovations to industry attendees.

Expanding Global Reach with Industry Awards

In addition to developments in the U.S., BMM Testlabs has expanded its international reach by obtaining approval to test gaming products in the United Arab Emirates. The company’s industry standing is further validated by awards such as the “Testing Service or Solution Provider of the Year” at the 2024 Vixio Global Regulatory Awards.

BMM’s recent acquisition by The Visualize Group, a U.S.-based private equity firm, is expected to support ongoing growth efforts and increase its influence in global gaming markets.
