If supported, slot machines must be equipped with a hopper which is designed to detect jammed coins, extra coins paid out, hopper runaways, and hopper empty conditions. A hopper may also include a printer. The slot machine control program must monitor the hopper mechanism for these errors in all game states. All coins or tokens paid from the hopper mechanism must be accounted for by the slot machine, including those paid as extra coins during a hopper malfunction. Hopper pay limits must be designed to permit compliance by licensees with taxation laws and regulations.
