Sault Ste. Marie Embraces New CA$2.6M Lottery Software Testing Lab

Offering the best gaming opportunities is crucial for positive development down the road. Professional Quality Assurance Ltd and PLATO Testing are aware of that and they joined forces for the official launch of the state-of-art lottery and gaming software testing lab in Sault Ste. Marie. The new Centre of Excellence in Software would aim to elevate the player experience and guarantee better results down the road.

This week was a special one and anticipated by many individuals interested in the gaming scene’s development in Ontario. The reason for this was the anticipated launch of the special lab that would put to the test various lottery offerings and premium online games. Lottery corporations across Canada are going to have a brand new zone where their offerings could be thoroughly inspected and tested by experts. Following substantial financial support, its operation commenced.

Software Testing Commences

FedNor had some CA$2.6 million prepared for the improvement of the local gaming field and it invested this amount in the testing lab located in downtown Sault Ste. Marie. Chief Paul Syrette of Garden River First Nation, along with MPP Ross Romano, and MP Terry Sheehan were present on site of the new lab at the launch ceremony, which attracted a crowd.

Along with the experienced eye on lottery and gaming offerings, this lab also guarantees First Nations integration on a whole new level. Anishinaabeg people receive the chance to be employed and have a guaranteed income thanks to the testing lab project, which is crucial in the context of the gaming field. Some 50 individuals are employed at the moment.

PLATO Testing has put in the effort of offering tribal members better employment opportunities. First Nations are often looking into gaming operation as a way to support their community and fund local projects in need of support. Casino operation is the most common approach that also demonstrates the fair treatment every provincial government showcases.

Indigenous People Employed Full-Time

Work at the gaming lab is another opportunity for career development. As of now, there are 50 tribal members relying on full-time employment guaranteed by the testing company and there are more to come. The special internship program offering vital skills applicable in the new lab extends over six months.

They started the education process at the beginning of this year and were eager to complete it just in time for the official launch of the testing lab. The PLATO Software Tester Training program at Sault College saw its first group of Indigenous graduates that would now have the chance to immediately be employed on full-time positions.
