Homologation Coljuegos. Finally, Coljuegos understood that it is not suitable to create a document that is required to be homologated and encompasses the characteristics of a market as diverse as the Colombian slot machine.

Last week the entity published a timid statement giving part of the recess that will take the Homologation process, and the entry into scene of ICONTEC( Colombian Institute for Technical standards) which will now bear the responsibility of getting the project out.

Good because it is not brave who stays in his point of view, but who recognizes that he is wrong and amended, not a few have been the alerts that the sector has sent and that were heard, we would think of those on foot, but I see it from Another less romantic angle.

For me it was a master move to clean up the muddy on which Juan B. and his entire team had been assembled by believing the all-powerful that knows everything and sees everything.

It has been a very technical manoeuvre to give a break to the scandal involved in forcing the localized Gambling Industry (casinos) to renew 76% of the machines by finger, which would end up with the hen of Coljuegos' golden eggs. The process could be extended for say one year, since ICONTEC must start - not continue - the technical tables to achieve a document that could be what the Institute calls product certification, which is nothing more than a compilation of international standards adapted so that It can be demonstrated that the technical reference is met and that is where manufacturers must knock on the laboratory door to process the technical standard and obtain the Homologation.

It is clear that ICONTEC will not be the Homologue because it does not have the expertise or the models and processes for this purpose; It is only the one who will play the bench player role to achieve this reference but with more authority in the creation of standards that if with a null knowledge of mathematics, hardware, software and everything that brings the game.

What is an ideal Institute for this? It is not suitable but it does know how to achieve the document because it is not in vain a member of IQNet, the global network of the main Certification Bodies, which has Global coverage with presence in more than 150 countries, therefore it has allies that have already moved this way and then they will adapt quickly to generate the process and the most important thing is not going to be manipulated by those interested with lightning meetings where only the three or five companies that want the Homologation of slots machines in Colombia had space to be able to sell their products to Prices in dollars ... very different from the scenario that was playing Coljuegos.

We continue with the tense calm, knowing that we must renew equipment and that in Colombia there is only one National Producer manufacturer that could meet, that can and in fact already has approved products in the region: Mundo Video Corp.

From all this I have the bad taste in the mouth of knowing that Manuel Del Sol is the architect of all this and not Coljuegos in the search to improve the industry and take care of the operators, they started talking about “reliability” and ended up forgetting the speech with The word Homologation.

Three months have passed and here we are NOTHING OF 12%… we forgot the PND because of the smoke bomb they launched with the homologation… we are still not the same, worse!
