			 wagering instrument shall include, but not be limited to, chips, tokens,
			 prizes, non-complimentary pay vouchers, electronic credits on a slot
			 machine/electronic gaming device, and vouchers representing electronic

			 confiscated winnings and/or wagering instrument shall be paid to the commission
			 for deposit into the Gaming Revenue Fund within 45 days;
(b) If an individual wishes to contest the
			 forfeiture of winnings or things of value, the individual may request a hearing
			 in writing by submitting a request to the commission within 15 days of the date
			 of the forfeiture. The request shall identify the reason why the winnings or
			 things of value should not be forfeited. A hearing shall be conducted in
