				slot machines and which contain paytables with a difference in theoretical
				payback percentage which exceeds 4 percent between wager categories, maintain
				and display coin in meters and the associated theoretical payback percentage,
				for each wager category with a different theoretical payback percentage, and

				or its equivalent ostensibly as a wager upon an event whose outcome has already
				been determined. A licensed sports pool shall not accept a wager on an event

				confirmed from reliable sources satisfactory to the Executive Director or from
				records created and maintained by the book in such manner as the Executive
				Director may approve.
(d) As part
				of its internal controls submission, a book shall provide the Executive
				Director with a catalog of the type of events that it intends to accept wagers
				on. The Executive Director reserves the right to prohibit the acceptance of
				wagers, and may order the cancellation of wagers and require refunds on any
				event for which wagering would be contrary to the public policies of the State.
(e) No book or agent or employee
				of a book may accept a wager from a person who the book, agent, or employee
				knows or reasonably should know is placing the wager for the benefit of another
				for compensation, or is placing the wager in violation of state or federal law.
(f) No book may hold a patron's
				money or its equivalent on the understanding that the book will accept the
				money as a wager only upon the occurrence of a specified, future contingency,
				unless a betting ticket documenting the wager and contingency is issued
				immediately when the book receives the money or its equivalent.
(g) A race book or sports pool may not accept
				wagers on a race or sporting event unless the wagering proposition is posted.
				Propositions may be posted by electronic or manual means, including printed
				media.

				book and a patron or a person who the book knows or has reason to know is the
				patron's confederate or agent. This record shall be made for nonpari-mutuel
				wagers occurring during a designated 24-hour period, within a monitoring

				  regardless of whether any nonpari-mutuel wagers occurred. At the conclusion of
				  each designated 24-hour period, the last entry on the log shall be an
				  indication that the end of the designated 24-hour period has occurred. A book
				  shall not implement alternative procedures or records to comply with this
				  subsection without the written approval of the Executive Director.
