177-200-0010 Game Requirements (1) General: To play a Video Lottery game, a player deposits cash into a Video Lottery game terminal that displays the deposit as a number of credits to which the player is entitled. Each credit represents a monetary amount as specified in each Video Lottery game. The player purchases a game play by wagering one or more credits. Prizes are paid on the terminal in the form of credits. A player may wager the credits that the player has won on additional game plays or may direct the terminal to issue a cash slip for the remaining credits. For Jackpot Prizes, the terminal will automatically cash out the Jackpot Prize and issue a cash slip to the player for the amount of the Jackpot Prize. (2) Bonus Game Plays: In addition to the prizes paid as credits, and depending on the specific game, bonus game plays may be awarded to a player. A prize awarded on an individual bonus game play is independent of the original game play. (3) Odds of Winning: A close approximation of the odds of winning some prize for each game must be displayed on a Video Lottery game terminal screen or a help screen. Each game also must display the amount wagered and the amount awarded for each possible winning occurrence based on the number of credits wagered on a game play. (4) Payout Tables: Each game shall provide a method for a player to view payout tables for that game. (5) Age Requirement: To play a Video Lottery game, a player must be at least 21 years of age.

177-200-0050 Method of Determining Winners Each Video LotterySM game terminal must have a random number generator that will determine the occurrence of a specific card, symbol, or number to be displayed on the video screen during a game play. A selection process will be considered random if it meets the requirements of OAR 177-200-0055. Statutory/Other Authority: OR Const. Art. XV & Sec. 4(4) Statutes/Other Implemented: ORS 461.217 History: LOTT 9-2010, f. 8-30-10, cert. ef. 9-5-10 LOTT 15-2003, f. & cert. ef. 9-29-03 LOTT 7-2003(Temp), f. & cert. ef. 6-5-03 thru 11-28-03 LC 8-1991, f. & cert. ef. 11-25-91
177-200-0055 Requirements for Randomness Testing (1) Chi-Squared Analysis: Each card position, symbol position, or number position must satisfy the 99 percent confidence limit using standard chi-squared analysis. For purposes of this rule, chi-squared analysis is the sum of the squares of the difference between the expected result and the observed result. Card position means the first card dealt, second card dealt in sequential order, up to the last card dealt. Symbol position means the first symbol drawn, second symbol drawn in sequential order, up to the last symbol drawn. Number position means first number drawn, second number drawn in sequential order, up to the 20th number drawn. (2) Run Test: Each card position, symbol position, or number position must not produce a significant statistic with regard to producing patterns of occurrences. For purposes of this rule, the run test is a mathematical statistic that determines the existence of recurring patterns within a set of data. Each card, symbol, or number position will be considered random if it meets the 99 percent confidence level with regard to the run test or any similar pattern-testing statistic. (3) Correlation Test: Each card position, symbol position, or number position must be independently chosen without regard to any other card, symbol, or number drawn within that game play. This test is the correlation test. Each pair of card, symbol, or number positions is considered random if it meets the 99 percent confidence level using standard correlation analysis. (4) Serial Correlation Test: Each card position, symbol position, or number position must be independently chosen without reference to the same card, symbol, or number position in the previous game. This test is the serial correlation test. Each card, symbol, or number position is considered random if it meets the 99 percent confidence level using standard serial correlation analysis. (5) Outside Influences: The random number generator and selection process must be impervious to influences from outside devices including, but not limited to, electromagnetic interferences, electrostatic discharge, and radio frequency interferences.

(4) Initial Cards: If the initial cards dealt constitute a winning hand or hands according to the game’s pay table, the Video LotterySM game terminal must automatically notify the player of the winning hand or hands, display the kind of hand (e.g., one pair, two pair, three of a kind), and the potential prize amount. (5) Conclusion of Play: At the conclusion of each game play, the Video LotterySM game terminal must display the winning combinations, if any, and the amount won.
