Section 13:69D-1.37B - Testing of electronic gaming devices on the casino floor

(a) For purposes of this section:

1. "Test currency" means currency, coin or tokens, coupons, cashier generated vouchers, or gaming vouchers issued by a casino licensee to a slot department or Internal Audit department employee to test gaming equipment;

2. "Electronic test credits" means efunds deposited to a test account established by the IT department solely for testing electronic gaming devices; and

3. "Employee test card" means a card issued to a designated employee through an approved slot monitoring system that electronically tracks the identity and activity of the designated employee at each electronic gaming device while the card is in use.

(b) Prior to using test currency or electronic credits, a licensee shall establish internal controls designed to ensure the safeguarding of assets. Such internal controls shall, at a minimum:

1. Prescribe procedures for the issuance of test currency from the casino cage including the use of a two-part Test Currency form to document the issuance and return of test currency. The original Test Currency form shall be retained by the cage cashier and the duplicate distributed to the receiving slot department or internal audit employee;

2. Require that no more than one test account be activated for an employee at any time;

3. Require the use of an employee test card for testing a gaming device which shall be inserted into the device prior to inserting test currency or using electronic credits and shall not be removed until completion of testing and, if applicable, credits remaining on the credit meter have been cashed out or transferred to the test account;

4. Prescribe procedures for the disposition of slot machine lock ups;

5. Prescribe procedures for the return of test cards and deactivation of test accounts;

6. Prescribe procedures for the return of test currency and the Test Currency form to the casino cage prior to the end of the slot department or internal audit employee's shift; and

7. Prescribe procedures for auditing testing activity by casino accounting to ensure the accountability of test currency and that there is no negative impact on gross revenue.

(c) Gaming vouchers created by an electronic gaming device during testing may be used to test other electronic gaming devices. Gaming vouchers created, but not used for testing other electronic gaming devices, shall be returned to the cage and voided or redeemed by a cage cashier or above, pursuant to internal controls.
