(b) The general cashier shall obtain a Wire Transfer or Electronic Fund Transfer Request Form, a four-part serially prenumbered form, and shall record thereon, at a minimum, the following:

1. The name of the patron;

2. The date of the transaction;

3. The amount of funds to be transferred, stated in numbers and in words;

4. The source of funds to be transferred;

5. The name and address of the financial institution to which the funds will be transferred and the account number to which the funds will be credited;

6. The signature of the patron if the request is made in person at the cage or, if the request is made by mail, an indication that a signed written request from the patron is attached to the Wire Transfer or Electronic Fund Transfer Request Form;

7. The signature of the general cashier; and

8. The signature of the main bank cashier.

(c) Prior to completing the Wire Transfer or Electronic Fund Transfer Request Form, the general cashier shall perform and maintain documentation supporting the following verifications:

ii. The date and time that the wire transfer or electronic fund transfer was authorized; and

iii. The signature of the accounting department employee authorizing the wire transfer or electronic fund transfer; or

2. If the wire transfer or electronic fund transfer is authorized by means of a direct computer link between the casino licensee and its bank, print a copy of the wire transfer or electronic fund transfer authorization from the computer screen which shall:
