Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Each gaming facility licensee shall
					 maintain on file with the commission a schedule setting forth the specific
					 times at which drop boxes will be brought to or removed from table games and
					 bill acceptors. Each gaming facility licensee also shall maintain and make
					 available to the commission upon request the names and employee license or
					 registration numbers of all employees participating in the transportation of
					 drop boxes. If the commission requires that a commission representative be
					 present for transportation of drop boxes, no drop box shall be brought to or
					 removed from any game or removed from any bill acceptor at other than the time
					 specified in such schedule except with the express written approval of the
					 commission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subdivision, the
					 gaming facility licensee may develop and use a plan for removing drop boxes
					 from games under exigent circumstances. If a gaming facility licensee alters
					 procedures for removing drop boxes due to unforeseen exigent circumstances,
					 such gaming facility licensee shall timely notify the commission of the reasons
					 for the change in procedures and the details of how the drop boxes were
					 removed.
(b) Except as otherwise
					 provided in paragraph (3) of this subdivision, all drop boxes removed from
					 games shall be transported directly to and secured in the count room by at
					 least one gaming facility security department member.
(1) Upon the removal of a drop box from a
					 game, such drop box shall be placed immediately in an enclosed trolley that is
					 secured by two separately keyed locks. The key to one lock shall be maintained
					 and controlled by an employee designated in the gaming facility licensee's
					 system of internal controls. The key to the second lock shall be maintained and
					 controlled by the gaming facility security department in a secure location.
					 Access to the gaming facility security department's key shall be controlled, at
					 a minimum, by a sign-out and sign-in procedure approved in writing by the
					 commission. The gaming facility security department key shall be returned to
					 such key's secure location immediately upon the completion of the collection
					 and transportation of the drop boxes.
(2) Prior to the movement of any trolley
					 containing drop boxes from the gaming floor, a person designated to supervise
					 the count shall verify in writing that the number of drop boxes being removed
					 from the gaming area equals the number of drop boxes that have been loaded on
					 the trolley and that the lock controlled by the gaming facility security
					 department has been activated. If a trolley is being transported from the
					 gaming floor to the count room, a gaming facility supervisor shall also verify
					 that the gaming facility department lock on the trolley has been
					 activated.
(3) A drop box being
					 replaced by an emergency drop box shall be transported directly to and secured
					 in the count room by at least one gaming facility security department member
					 and one gaming facility supervisor. The use of a trolley shall not be
					 required.
