A mechanical-based RNG game is a game that employs the laws of physics in any way to generate the outcome of such game. All mechanical-based RNG games shall meet the requirements of this Part, with the exception of provisions in sections 5319.37, 5319.38 and 5319.43 of this Part that dictate the requirements for electronic random number generators. Mechanical-based RNG games shall meet the following:
(a)The independent testing laboratory approved by the commission shall test multiple iterations of a mechanical-based RNG game to gather enough data to verify randomness. In addition, the manufacturer may supply live data to assist in such evaluation.
(b)The mechanical pieces of a mechanical-based RNG game shall be constructed of materials to prevent decomposition of any component over time (e.g., a ball shall not disintegrate prior to scheduled replacement).
(c)The properties of physical items used to choose the selection in a mechanical-based RNG game shall not be altered.
(d)A player shall not have the ability to interact physically or come into physical contact or manipulate the machine physically with the mechanical portion of a mechanical-based RNG game.
(e)The commission may require replacement parts after a pre-determined amount of time for mechanical-based RNG game to comply with subdivision (a) of this section. In addition, the device or devices may require periodic inspections to ensure the integrity of a device. Each mechanical-based RNG game shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
