(a)A gaming facility licensee shall not be permitted to commence operations until the commission has approved in writing such licensee’s surveillance plan of operation. Such plan shall be submitted for commission review no later than 60 days prior to the expected date of issuance of such gaming facility’s operation certificate.
(b)A surveillance plan of operation shall detail the:
(1)surveillance system and equipment used;
(2)placement of all surveillance equipment in the gaming facility; and
(3)staffing necessary to provide for the continuous monitoring of activities inside and outside the licensed facility taking into account the size and layout of the facility as well as the number and location of gaming devices on the gaming floor.
Such plan also shall address any planned shutdown of the surveillance system and any equipment failure that affects the surveillance room or any other equipment that may hinder the appropriate execution of surveillance functions and provide for an emergency contact listing with telephone numbers for persons required to be notified of any such event.
(c)The commission shall review a gaming facility’s surveillance plan of operation and approve such plan if such plan is consistent with this Title.
(d)A gaming facility licensee shall not alter or amend its surveillance plan of operation unless the commission has first approved in writing such alteration or amendment. A gaming facility licensee seeking to alter or amend its surveillance plan shall submit proposed alterations or amendments to such surveillance plan to the commission not less than seven days before the desired alteration or amendment would take effect. All requests for a plan alteration or amendment shall include:
(1)details of the change, including the floor plan;
(2)reason for the change; and
(3)expected results of the change.
(e)In the event of an emergency, a gaming facility licensee may deviate from such licensee’s approved surveillance plan of operation. In such instance, such gaming facility licensee shall notify the commission promptly that an emergency exists before deviation from the surveillance plan, then shall, as soon as practicable, submit a written description to the commission of the emergency and the circumstances necessitating the emergency deviation. As soon as the circumstances necessitating the emergency deviation abate, the gaming facility licensee shall resume compliance with the approved surveillance plan of operation. If the emergency does not abate, the gaming facility licensee shall seek, as soon as practicable, an amendment to its surveillance plan of operation.
(f)The commission shall have full access to, but not be capable of overriding, a gaming facility licensee’s surveillance system and the transmissions therein. Each member of a gaming facility’s surveillance department shall comply with any commission request to:

(2)display on the monitors in the monitoring room any event capable of being monitored by the surveillance system; and
