BMM International LLC, a private gaming technology testing lab and consulting firm branded as BMM Testlabs, said sales rose 7% in the first half of 2015.
The company also noted that profits before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 51% on an "at constant currency basis," while net income and cash were "particularly strong" in the six months to June 30. The company did not provide an analysis for these figures.
"The growth is driven by the new level of operational scale achieved by 13 offices around the world and support from more than 400 gaming jurisdictions and 330 manufacturers," Martin Storm, president and CEO of BMM Testlabs, said in a statement.
"BMM has more than 30 new customers in the second quarter alone and is expanding its service to major manufacturers," he added.
BMM Testlabs has provided professional technology and compliance services to the gaming industry since 1981. Its Asian operations are in Singapore and Macau.
Regulators in "major jurisdictions" across the U.S. and around the world used the company's services in the second quarter, Mr. Storm added. 슬롯
"Gaming regulators that allow multiple qualified laboratories to provide certification reports are critical to good public policy and the fundamental integrity of the gaming market. The evidence for this is that the quality of the product has improved significantly at the bottom of casinos and other locations, and BMM is well ahead in performance," Storm said.

Park Jihoon, the 'real ace' who dominated the court
Park Ji-hoon, head of Anyang's articles of association.
"I hope that basketball will become more popular as many Korean fans come to the East Asian Super League (EASL) games. I will do my best to help our players perform better and increase their popularity."
Park Ji-hoon (29) saved Anyang Jeonggwanjang.
Park Ji-hoon played in the third-place match against the New Taipei Kings in the 2023-24 EASL Final 4 held at Cebu?s Dome in the Philippines on the 10th, and played 29 points, eight rebounds, and three steals, including three three-point shots. After a close game with the Kings until the end of the game, Jeonggwanjang led by Park Ji-hoon became the winner with 78-76 victory.
Park Ji-hoon, who met with reporters after the game, said, "I feel so good that I won. All the players worked hard until the end and were able to win thanks to their concentration."
Park Ji-hoon, head of Anyang's articles of association.
Park Ji-hoon's performance on the day was truly remarkable. His field goal success rate reached a whopping 70.59 percent. He overwhelmed the Kings with efficiency that allowed for every shot. He scored his first eight points alone, and kept his scoring sense until the end of the fourth quarter when he faced a crisis. "He had a great shooting sense before the game. My trainer was stretching, and I was like, 'You look a little soft today.' That's why I felt good. I also wanted to win the last game of EASL," Park said. "I'm glad that things went well." 스포츠토토
As it was a fierce victory, there was a crisis, and there was also the pleasure of winning at the end of the game. Park Ji-hoon said, "The team's defense concentration declined when the score gap was widened. The Kings tried to make the attack as difficult as possible, but they failed to do so, allowing them to shoot comfortably, increasing their success rate. So I think they will have a tough game until the end," he said. "But I still saw our foreign players defend until the end. I felt that they maintained good concentration. I didn't think I would win, but I thought, 'Our team has good concentration. If we concentrate a little more, we can win.'"
Joseph Lynn was a younger brother of Jeremy Lynn, who left a mark in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as an Asian player. He was also the ace player who led the team in the semifinal against the Chiba Jets. "I've watched the EASL games that the Kings have played. I've watched the last Jets game," Park said. "Joseph Lynn is a good player in shooting, dribbling, and passing. I thought we should not let him (play comfortably). He pressured him to make every play as difficult as possible. I thought it would be more advantageous if he became embarrassed when it comes to game management. Of course, I learned a lot from watching Joseph Lynn. There were many things I felt. He was a very good player."

The event was held in Cebu, the Philippines. Not all four teams are from the Philippines, but President Chung's lens, Abando, received the most support from the Philippines. Park Ji-hoon said he was motivated by the presence of such teammates. "Many Filipino fans came even though the group stage of the last EASL in the Philippines and the Final Four were not there. I think it is because basketball is the representative sport of the Philippines," Park said. "Many fans come to the regular league in Korea." However, it was not the case in EASL games. Of course, there must be many situations and conditions. Still, I hope more Korean fans will come to the EASL game, making basketball more popular."
Of course, the success depends on the players' play. "We will do our best to help our players perform better and increase their popularity in the EASL," Park said. "We will also do our best to get more attention so that even one more fan can come to the stadium when a game is held in Korea. Please show us your support."
Jamie Gold Wins WSOP
Jamie Gold won the 2006 World Series Poker's Main Event, the largest and richest game in poker history. Gold's dominance in this field was unprecedented in WSOP history. He was the chip leader for the last four rounds of the event, which lasted all week.
Former Hollywood agent Gold, a Malibu, California-turned-television producer, collected an overwhelming chip lead during the first eight days of the tournament and sat at the final table with $26,650,000 worth of chips, $8.88 million more than his nearest competitor.
Gold, who had been leading the tournament since last Friday, won his first title of the day and shortly thereafter set the stage for a commanding performance that ended the two-week tournament by knocking out Dan Nasif. After an exciting 14-hour match, he knocked out the rest of the field, including top poker pro Alan Cunningham.
Gold's $10,000 entry to the main event was provided by Bodog.com , an online gaming giant and leading digital entertainment brand. Today, he competed with eight remaining players in 8,773 stadiums for a record $12 million in first place prize money and a coveted gold crown bracelet.
After winning poker's biggest tournament and prestigious bracelets, a triumphant Gold said, "I can't believe it, I'm very happy. It was hard at first, but once I felt in control, I realized that it would be very hard for me to win if I continued playing my game." He added, "This would not have been possible without the support of my friends and family along with the members of the Bogdock team."
Gold's two-year deal with Bodog.com also includes a $1 million television production deal, as well as standard tournament buy-in and promotional appearances. The deal also includes Bodog.com 's Jamie Gold Table, where Gold will play frequently, allowing other Bodogs players to face WSOP champions. 슬롯머신
"Jamie really epitomizes the dogma spirit. We are incredibly proud of his achievement and excited for his performance at the tournament," said Calvin Eyre, founder and CEO of Bodog.com . "While poker's popularity continues to grow, it has been the most exciting and dominant game since WSOP has grown to its current size."
More than 500 players have qualified for various WSOP tournaments by playing online poker on Bodog.com . Gold was one of 400 Team Bodock players at the main event. The 36-year-old former agent from Paramus, New Jersey, represented many A-list celebrities, including James Gandolfini, Felicity Huffman, Lucy Liu, and Brandi. Gold quit the agent six months ago and is currently the executive producer at BuzzNation, an entertainment media and production company based in Los Angeles. Gold is currently in development on the brand's reality TV series.
QS is Ranked 6th, but 1.3 Billion Wonja Contract
Felix Peña, 33, will join the Hanwha Eagles next year as well. The Hanwha Eagles renewed their contract with Peña, a foreign pitcher, on Wednesday. The deal is worth up to 1.05 million U.S. dollars, including 200,000 dollars in down payment, 650,000 dollars in annual salary, and 200,000 dollars in incentives. Peña is in his third year in the KBO league this year, and despite his stable performance enough to renew his contract, he signed the seal at the maximum of just over 1 million dollars given to new foreign players in the KBO.
Peña first became acquainted with the Hanwha Eagles as a substitute for Nick Kingham, who was released last year. As he joined the team during the season, the Hanwha Eagles awarded Peña 500,000 U.S. dollars. Peña had five wins and four losses, 67 ⅔ innings, 72 strikeouts, and an ERA of 3.72 in 13 games that year. The Hanwha Eagles decided once again that they displayed enough performance to trust, and renewed the contract this year by raising 350,000 dollars to 850,000 dollars.
When Hanwha was troubled by Birch Smith earlier this season, Peña silently took the center stage of the starting lineup as a real ace. Hanwha invested $1 million in Smith and expected the ace's mission, but he couldn't take the mound due to injuries after pitching in the second ⅔ of the opening game. Peña was holding out, and Young Gun Moon Dong-ju spent the rookie of the year season, preventing the starting lineup from collapsing.
Peña started 32 games this year, recording 11 wins and 11 losses, 177 ⅓ innings, 147 strikeouts and a 3.60 ERA. He is the only player in his team who pitched 30 games and 170 innings or more, and this is a figure that can be achieved only when he stays in rotation throughout the entire season. He also ranked sixth in the most innings, tied for ninth in multiple wins, tied for sixth in strikeouts, and 14th in ERA.
It is not a stellar performance, but it is valuable for pitchers who constantly and stably maintain the mound. Peña ranked sixth in the league with 19 quality starts this year. He displayed the highest level of stability in the league, with only three shots ahead of top-ranked Raul Alcantara (22) of Doosan Bears. Nevertheless, he chose to stay at 1.05 million U.S. dollars, which is a blessing for Hanwha.
Hanwha ranked 9th this year with 58 wins, 80 losses, and 6 draws with 0.420. Although it is on the verge of continuing its disgraceful record of being the lowest for three consecutive years from 2020 to last year, ninth place is certainly a difficult ranking to be satisfied with. Even if all factors are important overall, in the end, a team with a strong starting lineup will go to the fall baseball. In that sense, Peña is expected to be a strong support for Hanwha to rise to the top five.
Peña is also a big influence on young pitchers. This year, he taught Moon his main weapon, change-up drawing, helping him grow into the ace of the national team. Peña gets along well with his teammates and has a positive influence on the team.
After signing the contract, Peña said, "I am very happy to sign the contract. Once again, I would like to thank Hanwha for giving me the opportunity to play in Korea. I hope to prepare well for the offseason and help my team advance to the postseason in a healthy state next season." 토토사이트
Hanwha is speeding up the formation of foreign players by acquiring Peña for $1.05 million and Jonada Peraza for $1 million. A foreign pitcher is empty, but Ricardo Sanchez, the existing pitcher, is on hold for now. When a better pitcher is released in the market within the time the team thinks, it is drawing a picture of holding hands with a new face or accompanying Sanchez.
As Hanwha aims to advance to the post season next season, it is important to form a one-two punch for foreigners who will lead the starting lineup along with Peña. Since there are many variables in the Korean starting lineup other than Moon Dong-ju, the Korean team should be solid as well as foreign pitchers. For now, the team put out the urgent fire by catching Peña who can win 30 games to 10 games or more. Attention is focusing on whether Peña will be able to continue its reputation as a strong foreign player next season.
