If a gaming device is in a test, diagnostic or demo mode, any test that incorporates credits entering or leaving such gaming device shall be completed on resumption of normal operation. No mode other than normal operation (ready for play) shall increment any of the electronic meters. Any credits on the gaming device that were accrued during the test, diagnostic or demo mode shall be cleared automatically before such mode is exited. Specific meters are permissible for these types of modes, provided the meters indicate as such.
The opening of the main cabinet door of a gaming device automatically may place such gaming device in a service or test/diagnostic mode. Test/diagnostic mode may also be entered by action of a gaming facility employee for purposes of an audit. Such modes shall not be accessible to a player.
When exiting from test-diagnostic mode, a game shall return to the original state such game was in when the test mode was entered.
If a gaming device is in a game-test mode, such gaming device shall indicate clearly that such gaming device is in a test mode, not normal play.
