Each gaming facility licensee also shall maintain and make available to the commission upon request the names and employee license or registration numbers of all employees participating in the transportation of drop boxes. If the commission requires that a commission representative be present for transportation of drop boxes, no drop box shall be brought to or removed from any game or removed from any bill acceptor at other than the time specified in such schedule except with the express written approval of the commission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subdivision, the gaming facility licensee may develop and use a plan for removing drop boxes from games under exigent circumstances. If a gaming facility licensee alters procedures for removing drop boxes due to unforeseen exigent circumstances, such gaming facility licensee shall timely notify the commission of the reasons for the change in procedures and the details of how the drop boxes were removed.

(b)Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (3) of this subdivision, all drop boxes removed from games shall be transported directly to and secured in the count room by at least one gaming facility security department member.

Access to the gaming facility security department’s key shall be controlled, at a minimum, by a sign-out and sign-in procedure approved in writing by the commission. The gaming facility security department key shall be returned to such key’s secure location immediately upon the completion of the collection and transportation of the drop boxes.

(2)Prior to the movement of any trolley containing drop boxes from the gaming floor, a person designated to supervise the count shall verify in writing that the number of drop boxes being removed from the gaming area equals the number of drop boxes that have been loaded on the trolley and that the lock controlled by the gaming facility security department has been activated. If a trolley is being transported from the gaming floor to the count room, a gaming facility supervisor shall also verify that the gaming facility department lock on the trolley has been activated.

(3)A drop box being replaced by an emergency drop box shall be transported directly to and secured in the count room by at least one gaming facility security department member and one gaming facility supervisor. The use of a trolley shall not be required.

(c)Except as provided in subdivision (d) of this section, all drop boxes not attached to a game, including emergency drop boxes that are not actively in use, shall be stored in the count room or other secure area outside the count room approved in writing by the commission, in an enclosed storage cabinet or trolley and secured in such cabinet or trolley by a separately keyed, double locking system. The key to one lock shall be maintained and controlled by the gaming facility security department and the key to the second lock shall be maintained and controlled by a gaming facility department employee. Access to the gaming facility security department’s key shall be limited to a supervisor of that department.

(d)Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of this section, the supervisor of the gaming facility security department may, immediately prior to the commencement of the count process, issue the key to the storage cabinet or trolley to a person designated to supervise the count for the purpose of gaining access to the drop boxes to be counted. Any key removed from the gaming facility security department shall be returned immediately following the conclusion of the count of the drop boxes and the return of any empty emergency drop boxes to the respective storage cabinet or trolley for such drop box. The gaming facility security department shall establish a sign-out and sign-in procedure approved in writing by the commission for all such keys removed.

Kiosks are patron interface units that may be used to perform various tasks including, without limitation, the tasks described in this section.

(a)Voucher/coupon redemption.

Kiosks are usually interfaced to some type of monitoring or control system that will play a role in the critical functions of the kiosk. Gaming devices that have the option of issuing payments via voucher printers are customarily interfaced to a validation system. When a voucher is redeemed for cash, the voucher on the validation system shall be updated to reflect a redeemed status. When a patron uses a kiosk as the method of redemption, the kiosk shall read the voucher and notify the validation system of all required validation information. The system shall then determine if the voucher is valid and transmit to the kiosk the amount to be paid or instruct the kiosk to reject the voucher. For valid vouchers, payment is made to the patrons from various denominations, coin and currency payment mechanisms.

(b)Bill breaking.

Bill breaking is the act of making change. A patron may wish to insert a bill for any combination of change. Bill breaking may include an insertion of a large denomination bill for the issuance of smaller denomination bills.

(c)Voucher issuance.

Voucher issuance kiosks that issue vouchers via voucher printers shall be interfaced to a validation system. When a voucher is printed from the kiosk, the voucher on the validation system shall be updated to reflect a pending status. The voucher issuance kiosk shall receive all its validation information from the voucher validation system. The voucher validation system shall ensure that the correct information is sent to the issuance kiosk and the kiosk shall validate the incoming message packets through an error-checking mechanism before printing a voucher. When the voucher printed by the kiosk is redeemed at a gaming device, cashiers’ cage or kiosk, the system shall change the pending status of the voucher to redeemed status.

(d)Promotional point redemption.

Promotional point redemption defines the process of a patron redeeming promotional player points at the kiosk for cash or a voucher. The kiosk in this case is being used as an alternative to the current process of the player approaching the gaming facility cage or player services desk to redeem their points. The kiosk in this case shall be interfaced only to an approved promotional system/gateway. This Part addresses the use of kiosks when redeeming player points for cash or voucher. This Part does not address the use of kiosks for redemption of player points for gaming facility merchandise and/or other services.

(e)Information reporting.

The kiosk may be used to display marketing information for customers. This feature is not covered by this Part, as such displays do not affect the integrity of kiosk security and/or accounting.

(a)Kiosk terminal security.

The main door, which shall be locked, shall be manufactured of materials that are suitable for allowing only legitimate access to the inside of the kiosk terminal (i.e., locks, doors and their associated hinges) shall be capable of withstanding determined and unauthorized efforts to gain access to the inside of the kiosk and shall leave evidence of tampering if such an entry is made.

(b)Kiosk terminal wiring.

A kiosk shall be designed so that power and data cables into and out of the kiosk can be routed so that such cables are not accessible to the general public. This requirement is for kiosk integrity reasons only, not for health and safety. Security-related wires and cables that are routed into a logic area shall be fastened securely within the interior of the kiosk terminal.

(c)On/off switch.

An on/off switch that controls the electrical current shall be located in a place that is readily accessible within the interior of a kiosk so that power cannot be disconnected from outside of the kiosk using the on/off switch. The on/off positions of the switch shall be labeled.

(d)Switches and jumpers.

If a kiosk contains switches and/or jumpers, all switches or jumpers shall be documented fully for evaluation by a licensed independent testing laboratory.

(e)Kiosk terminal identification.

A kiosk shall have an identification badge affixed to the exterior of the cabinet by the manufacturer. Such badge shall not be removable without leaving evidence of tampering and shall include the following information:

(1)the manufacturer;

(2)a unique serial number;

(3)a kiosk model number; and

(4)the date of manufacture.

(f)Patron safety.

Electrical and mechanical parts and design principals of a kiosk terminal shall not subject a patron to any physical hazards. The manufacturer of the devices or those that purchase the devices shall be responsible for safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing.

(g)Kiosk integrity.

The licensed independent testing laboratory shall perform certain tests to determine whether or not outside influences affect performance or create cheating opportunities. This certification applies exclusively to tests conducted using current and retrospective methodology. During the course of testing, the laboratory shall inspect for marks or symbols indicating that a device has undergone product safety compliance testing. The laboratory shall also perform, where possible, a cursory review of submissions and information contained therein related to electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference, magnetic interference, liquid spills, power fluctuations and environmental conditions. Electrostatic discharge testing is intended only to simulate techniques observed in the field being used to attempt to disrupt the integrity of the kiosk. A kiosk shall be able to withstand the following tests, resuming operation without operator intervention:

(1)electro-static interference. Protection against static discharges requires that the kiosk’s conductive cabinets be grounded in such a way that static discharge energy shall not damage permanently or inhibit permanently the normal operation of the electronics or other components within the kiosk. Kiosks may exhibit temporary disruption when subjected to a significant electro-static discharge greater than human body discharge, but they shall exhibit the capacity to recover and complete any interrupted function without loss or corruption of any control or critical data information associated with the kiosk. The tests shall be conducted with a severity level of a maximum of 27 kilovolts air discharge; and

(2)state of kiosk. For commercial components involved in functions covered by this standard that are affected (e.g., a personal computer monitor), there shall be a method to determine the state the kiosk was in if any of the components fail from static discharge.

(h)Tower light.

A kiosk involved in functions covered by this Part shall have a light located conspicuously on its top, that automatically illuminates when an error condition has occurred or a call attendant (if applicable) has been initiated by the patron. This requirement may be substituted for an alternate means that alerts gaming facility staff of error conditions and patron seeking assistance occurrences. Alternative means to alert staff may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

(i)Requirements for external doors/external compartments.

The interior of the kiosk cabinet shall not be accessible when all doors are closed and locked. Doors shall be manufactured of materials that are suitable for allowing only legitimate access to the inside of the kiosk cabinet (i.e., locks, doors and their associated hinges). Doors shall be capable of withstanding determined and unauthorized efforts to gain access to the inside of the kiosk cabinet and shall leave evidence of tampering if such an entry is made.

(j)Kiosk logic door and logic area.

A kiosk shall use a logic area that is a separately locked cabinet area (with its own locked door) that houses electronic components that have the potential to significantly influence the operation of the kiosk. There may be more than one such logic area in a kiosk.

(k)Electronic components.

Electronic components that are recommended to be housed in one or more logic areas are:

(1)a central processing unit and any program storage device that contains software that may affect the integrity of the kiosk, including, without limitation, accounting, system communication and peripheral firmware devices involved in, or that significantly influence the intended operation of a kiosk or accounting, revenue or security. Any exceptions shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis;

(2)communication-controller electronics and components housing the communication program storage device. Any exceptions shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; and

(3)the non-volatile (NV) memory back-up device, if applicable, shall be kept within a locked logic area.

(l)Coin/token and currency compartments.

Coin or token and currency compartments shall be locked separately or similarly secured as approved by the commission in writing from the main kiosk cabinet area. Access to the currency storage area shall be secured via separate key locks and the kiosk shall be fitted with sensors that indicate door open/close or stacker receptacle removed, provided power is supplied to the kiosk. If the kiosk is interfaced with a monitoring system, these alerts shall be sent to the system when possible.

(m)Video monitors/touch screens.

Video monitor touch screens shall meet the following criteria:

(1)A touch screen, if applicable, shall be accurate and once calibrated shall maintain that accuracy for at least the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance period.

(2)A touch screen, if applicable, shall be able to be re-calibrated without access to the kiosk cabinet other than opening the main door.

(3)There shall be no hidden or undocumented buttons/touch points, if applicable, anywhere on the screen that affect negatively or impact the proper operation of the kiosk, except as provided for by the instructions for patron kiosk usage.

(n)Back-up of memory.

A kiosk shall have the ability to retain data for all critical memory and shall be capable of maintaining the accuracy of all information required for 30 days after power is discontinued from the kiosk.

(a)All paper currency devices shall be able to detect the entry of valid bills, coupons, vouchers or other approved notes, as applicable, and provide a method to enable the kiosk software to interpret and act appropriately upon a valid or invalid input. The paper currency acceptance device or devices shall be electronically-based and be configured to ensure that they accept only valid bills of legal tender, coupons, vouchers or other approved notes and shall reject all other items. Rejected bills, vouchers, coupons or other approved notes shall be returned to the patron. The bill-input system shall be constructed in a manner that protects against vandalism, abuse or fraudulent activity. A bill-acceptance device shall comply with the following:

(1)each valid bill, coupon, voucher or other approved note shall register the actual monetary value or the appropriate number of credits received on the kiosk; and

(2)a credit meter shall update upon bill insertion. Cash shall be dispensed only when:

(i)the bill or other note has passed the point where such bill or note is accepted and stacked; and

(ii)the validator has sent the “irrevocable stacked” message to the kiosk.

(b)Communications.

All bill validators shall communicate with the kiosk using a bi-directional protocol.

(c)Factory set bill validators.

If bill validators are designed to be factory-set only, it shall not be possible to access or conduct maintenance or adjustments to such bill validators in the field, other than:

(1)selecting desired acceptance for bills, coupons, vouchers or other approved notes and their limits;

(2)changing certified control program media or downloading certified software;

(3)maintaining, adjusting and repairing per approved factory procedures; or

(4)implementing options that set the direction or orientation of acceptance.

Adjusting the bill validator for the tolerance level for accepting bills or notes of varying quality shall not be allowed externally to the kiosk. Adjustments of the tolerance level shall be allowed only with adequate levels of security in place through lock and key, physical switch settings or other accepted methods approved by the commission on a case-by-case basis.

(d)Bill validator stacker requirements.

Each bill validator shall have a secure stacker and all accepted items shall be deposited into the secure stacker. The secure stacker and its receptacle are to be attached to the kiosk in such a manner so that they cannot be easily removed by physical force. In addition:

(1)The bill validator device shall have the ability to detect a stacker full condition.

(2)There shall be a separately keyed lock to access the stacker area. This keyed lock shall be separate from the main door and shall be required to remove the bills from the stacker.

(e)Self-test.

The bill validator device shall perform a self-test at each power up. In the event of a self-test failure, the bill validator shall automatically disable itself (i.e., enter bill reject state) until the error state has been cleared.

(a)Critical memory.

Critical memory is used to store all data that is considered vital to the continued operation of the kiosk, including, without limitation:

(1)all electronic meters required in section 5316.17 of this Part; including last-bill data and door-open metering;

(2)voucher-redeemed log, provided such log is not stored on printed paper within the device; and

(3)software state (the last normal state, last status or tilt status the kiosk software was in before interruption).

(b)Function of NV memory reset.

Following the initiation of a NV-memory-reset procedure (using a certified NV-memory-clear method) the kiosk software shall execute a routine that initializes all bits in critical NV memory to the default state. All memory locations intended to be cleared as per the NV-memory-clear process shall be reset fully in all cases. For kiosks that allow for partial NV-memory clears, the methodology in doing so shall be accurate.

(c)Maintenance of critical memory.

Critical memory storage shall be maintained by a methodology that enables errors to be identified. Such methodology may involve signatures, checksums, partial checksums, multiple copies, timestamps and/or effective use of validity codes. This subdivision is not intended to preclude the use of alternate storage media types, such as hard disk drives, for the retention of critical data. Such alternate storage media shall maintain critical data integrity in a manner consistent with the requirements in this section, as applicable to the specific storage technology implemented.

(d)Data alteration.

A kiosk shall not permit the alteration of any meter or error-condition log information without supervised access controls. In the event meter or error-condition log data is changed, an audit log shall be capable of being produced to document:

(1)data element altered;

(2)data element value prior to alteration;

(3)data element value after alteration;

(4)time and date of alteration; and

(5)personnel that performed alteration (user login).

(a)Payment by voucher printers.

If a kiosk has a printer that is used to make payments, the kiosk may pay the player by issuing a printed voucher. The printer shall print on a voucher as set forth in section 5316.20(b) of this Part and the kiosk shall support the transmission of data to a validation system that records the following information regarding each payout voucher printed:

(1)value of credits in local monetary units in numerical form;

(2)time of day the voucher was printed, in 24-hour format showing hours and minutes;

(3)date, in any recognized format, indicating the day, month and year;

(4)kiosk identification number; and

(5)unique validation number.

(b)Additional requirements.

In addition to the requirements set forth in subdivision (a) of this section, if a kiosk supports printing duplicate vouchers, the kiosk shall print only one copy to the patron but have the ability to retain voucher-out information on the last 25 vouchers (the voucher-out log may contain vouchers and receipts), in order to resolve patron disputes. If a kiosk supports printing single vouchers, the kiosk shall have the ability to retain electronically the last-25-voucher-out information. An approved validation system shall be used to validate the payout voucher. The voucher information on the system shall be retained at least so long as the voucher is valid at that location. If offline voucher issuance is supported, the kiosk shall mask all but the last four digits of the validation number as displayed in the 25-voucher-out log.

(c)Printer location.

If a kiosk is equipped with a printer, such printer shall be located in a locked area of the kiosk (i.e., require opening of a locked external door), but not be housed within the logic area or the drop box.

(a)Voucher issuance.

A voucher is permitted to be generated at a kiosk through an internal printer. Vouchers that reflect partial credits may be issued automatically from a kiosk. Cashier/change booth issuance is permitted, if supported by the validation system.

(b)Offline voucher issuance.

If offline voucher issuance is supported, a kiosk shall meet the following minimum set of requirements to incorporate the ability to issue offline vouchers after a loss of communication has been identified by the kiosk:

(1)Rules for issuance. The kiosk shall not issue more offline vouchers than it has the ability to retain and display in the kiosk maintained voucher-out log.

(2)Request for re-seeding. The kiosk shall not request validation numbers and seed, key, etc. values used in the issuance of vouchers until all outstanding offline voucher information has been communicated fully to the voucher validation system.

(3)Rules for re-seeding. The kiosk shall request a new set of validation numbers and seed, key, etc. values used in the issuance of online/offline vouchers if the current list of validation numbers and seed, key, etc. values have the possibility of being compromised, which include, without limitation, the following cases:

(i)after power has been recycled; and/or

(ii)upon exit of a main door open condition.

(4)The values for the seed, key, etc. shall never be viewable through any display supported by the kiosk. Additionally, validation numbers always shall be masked when viewable through any display supported by the kiosk such that only the last four digits of the validation number are visible.

(c)Online voucher redemption.

Vouchers may be inserted in a kiosk participating in the validation system provided that no currency is dispensed by the kiosk prior to confirmation of the voucher validity.

(d)Offline voucher redemption.

If offline voucher issuance is supported, the offline voucher redemption may be validated as an internal control process at the specific gaming device or kiosk that issued the voucher. A manual hand pay may be conducted for the offline voucher value.
