(a). Each
				licensee shall place on file with the Commission the names of all persons
				authorized to enter the cashier's cage (cage access list), those who possess
				the combination or keys to the locks securing the entrance to the cage and
				those who possess the ability to operate the alarm systems. Cage access lists
				shall include individuals who have interest in the cage area. Each licensee
				shall also submit a list (drop/count access list) to the Commission for
				approval of employees authorized to participate in the drop and count and those
				employees who are authorized to be in the count rooms during the count. Each
				list must have the name of the individual, their job title or company and
				gaming work permit number. The cage and drop/count access lists shall include
				those persons, if any, living in the same household, who hold an interest in
				the licensee and shall indicate what relationship by blood, or marriage, if
				any, exists between any person on the lists and any other person on such list
				or any interest holder or employee of the gaming establishment. Drop/count
				access lists shall only include individuals who have a specific daily job
				interest in this area. Specific daily job interest includes the count team
				members, their immediate supervisors and vendors who service counting
				machines.
(b). Each licensee shall
				submit a revised list to the Commission within ten days of any change to the
				cage access list. Surveillance must monitor and record all activities within
				the cage. Secondary notification is required to the Commission for all cage
				vendor access. In cases where employees or vendors not possessing a gaming work
				permit are required to enter the cage, a Security escort must be provided and
				Surveillance must be notified prior to entry.
(c). Each licensee shall submit a revised
				list in advance for approval to the Commission of any changes to the drop/count
				access lists prior to the individual performing the drop and/or entering the
				count room.
(d). Surveillance must
				monitor and record all activities within the count room. During the count
				process, personnel are not allowed to exit or enter the count room except for
				emergencies or scheduled breaks. At all times a Security escort will be
				required for vendors accessing the count room. Access to the count room during
				the count is restricted to individuals on the drop/count access list. The
				licensee is required to provide secondary notification to the Commission of
				access by vendors who are listed on the drop/count room access list. For access
				during or outside count times into the count rooms, the licensee shall at all
				times be in compliance with the following requirements:
1. Access into the count rooms by any
				individual requires a valid Commission work permit (excluding MGC and MSTC
				personnel). Representatives of the MGC and MSTC must present identification
				before entering the count rooms.
2.
				A Count Room Access Request Form must be submitted to the Commission for prior
				approval for any individuals not listed on the drop/count access list. Unless
				otherwise instructed by the Commission, Security escort must be provided for
				access into the count rooms.
3.
				When the counting device requires maintenance during the count, all gaming
				revenues must be secured until the vendor has finished the maintenance on the
				counting device and exited the count room.
4. Only count team members may handle gaming
				revenues.
