Section 13:69D-1.5A - Patron identification file

(a) Whenever a casino licensee is required by Division rule to verify the identity of a person or the validity of a signature on a document and the rule authorizes the verification to be performed by means of a signature comparison, the casino licensee may perform the verification by comparing the obtained signature to any signature exemplar or computer generated facsimile of a signature exemplar maintained by the casino licensee in a patron identification file established in accordance with the provisions of this section.

(b) Prior to establishing a patron identification file, a casino employee shall require the person whose signature is being recorded to present for examination one government-issued identification credential. The credential shall include, at a minimum, the patron's:

1. Name;

2. Date of birth;

3. Photograph; and

4. Signature.

(c) Any patron identification file established and maintained by a casino licensee pursuant to this section shall include, at a minimum, the following:

1. The patron's name;

2. The address of the patron's residence;

3. The patron's signature;

4. The physical description of the patron;

5. The type of identification credential examined pursuant to (b) above;

6. The date and time that the patron identification file was established; and

7. The signature of the casino employee who examined the identification credential of the patron and established the patron identification file, by which the casino employee attests that:

i. The signature exemplar of the person recorded in the patron identification file is consistent with the signature on the identification credential examined; and

ii. The physical description recorded in the patron identification file is consistent with both the actual appearance of the person and the photograph on the identification credential that was examined.

(d) A casino licensee shall be permitted to establish and maintain a patron identification file as a separate set of gaming records or as part of any other gaming record maintained by the casino licensee (for example, as part of a credit file or customer deposit file) as long as the patron signatures contained in the records are obtained and documented in accordance with the requirements of this section.
