				  each opening of the reserve fill cabinet door, and the computerized slot system
				  initiates and validates the fill transaction and prints the dollar amount of
				  the fill on the hopper fill slip, then the transfer of funds from the reserve
				  fill cabinet to the slot machine hopper may be performed by one Slot Attendant

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 13 - Gaming › Part 8 - TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR GAMING DEVICES AND ON-LINE SLOT SYSTEMS › Chapter 2 - INTEGRITY OF DEVICES › Rule 13-8-2.1 - Electrical Interference Immunity

Current through June 25, 2024
(a) A gaming device
				must exhibit total immunity to human body electrostatic discharges on all
				player-exposed areas. For purposes of this standard, a human body discharge is
				considered to be an electrical potential of not greater than 20,000 volts DC
				discharged through a network with a series resistance of 150 to 1500 ohms
				shunted by a capacitance of 100 to 150 picofarads. The device must withstand
				this discharge repeated at one second intervals. The power source for this
				human body equivalent is a high - impedance source such that, in effect, the
				energy available for a given discharge is limited to that contain ed in the
				shunt capacitor.
(b) A gaming
				device may exhibit temporary disruption when subjected to electrostatic
				discharges of 20,000 to 27,000 volts DC through a network with a series
				resistance of 150 to 1500 ohms shunted by a capacitance of 100 to 150
				picofarads, but must exhibit a capacity to recover and complete an interrupted
				play without loss or corruption of any stored or displayed information and
				without component failure.
(c)
				Gaming device power supply filtering must be sufficient to prevent disruption
				of the device by repeated switching on and off of the AC power. The device must
				not exhibit disruption when a 1 microfarad capacitor, charged to plus or minus
				680 volts DC is discharged between the hot and neutral AC supply lines, at any
				phase from zero to 360 degrees, with a repetition rate of 30 times per
				second.
(d) The random number
				generator and random selection process must be impervious to influences from
				outside the device, including, but not limited to, electro-magnetic
				interference, electro-static interference, and radio frequency interference. A
				gaming device must use appropriate communication protocols to protect the
				random number generator and random selection process from influence by
				associated equipment which is conducting data communications with the gaming
				device.

(c). A gaming device may not accept more than
				$3,000 in coins or tokens before a wager must be made or play initiated.
