Title 9 Part 4405

The commission shall establish a data processing center for the purpose of providing centralized data processing services to a corporation on such terms and conditions as the commission may deem advisable, including and without limitation, the payment of any charge or expense incurred in connection with such operation. Provided, however, that the commission may authorize one or more corporations to use a regional or other independent data processing center for an interim period until centralized statewide data processing services are made available by the commission. No region may establish or expand regional data processing facilities without the prior approval of the commission.

A corporation shall report to the commission any violation of law that occurs at a branch office, or any communication with a law enforcement agency.

A branch office shall post conspicuously in the public area notice of any cancellation of any race for which a corporation accepted bets, or of any substitution of races.

The results of each race, and the winnings thereon, shall be posted in the public area of each OTB branch office and teletheater immediately after each race, and remain so posted until the conclusion of the next business day. Each such OTB facility shall maintain therein for public inspection a record of the results, winnings and refunds for each race card for a period of not less than 30 days following the race.

Cash shall not be retained overnight in any branch office unless the commission shall have determined that adequate safeguards exist with respect to the retention of such monies.

For the purpose of maintaining a uniformly high standard of branch office security, all branch offices shall be equipped with forced entry alarm systems that shall be approved by the commission prior to installation thereof. Additionally, all branch office cashier locations shall be equipped with alarm systems that shall be approved by the commission prior to installation.

Where feasible, a corporation shall maintain a State lottery outlet at a branch office at the direction of the commission and shall receive reasonable compensation therefor on a strict cost reimbursement basis.

The commission may inspect a branch office or the corporation offices at any time and shall be accorded full access to all premises of the corporation for such purpose.

This Part is intended to implement in part the requirements of articles V, V-a and VII of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law.
