Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 325 - Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission › Chapter 90 - Gaming Operations › Subchapter 3 - Security and Surveillance Minimum Requirements › Section 325:90-3-1 - Surveillance Systems

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) Each
				Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee must install, maintain and continuously
				operate an on-site surveillance system at its licensed Gaming Facility. The
				purpose of the surveillance system is to assist the Racetrack Gaming Operator
				Licensee and the State in safeguarding the Licensee's assets, in deterring,
				detecting and prosecuting criminal acts, and in maintaining public confidence
				and trust that licensed gaming activity is conducted honestly and free of
				criminal elements and activity.
(b)
				The surveillance system plan must include descriptions of all equipment used by
				the surveillance system, a blueprint or diagram that shows all of the areas to
				be monitored and the placement of surveillance equipment in relation to the
				activities being observed, a description of the procedures used in the
				operation of the surveillance system, and any other information required by the
				Commission. To ensure the integrity of the surveillance system, access to the
				surveillance system plan, and any related information, shall be limited to
				authorized employees or agents of the Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee and
				the Commission.
(c) The
				surveillance system, through the use of fixed and moveable cameras, must
				possess the ability to monitor and record the Gaming Facility floor and all
				Player Terminals from multiple angles to ensure the Racetrack Gaming Operator
				Licensee's ability to monitor and record all activities at each Player
				Terminal. The surveillance system must provide sufficient clarity to permit
				identification of players, employees, patrons and spectators. Each camera shall
				be installed in a manner that prevents it from being readily obstructed,
				tampered with, or disabled by customers or employees.
(d) Employees of the Racetrack Gaming
				Operator Licensee, when assigned to monitoring duties in the surveillance room,
				shall have no other gaming related duties while performing such
				duties.
(e) The interior of the
				surveillance room shall not be visible or accessible to the public.
(f) Agents of the Commission's Law
				Enforcement Division, upon presentation of proper Commission credentials, shall
				be provided immediate access to the surveillance room and other surveillance
				areas. In addition, these Agents are to be provided, upon request, copies of
				recorded videotapes of activities as well as copies of any images produced on a
				video printer. Agents of the Commission's Law Enforcement Division shall have
				absolute, unfettered access to the surveillance room at all times.
(g) Except in the event of circumstances
				beyond the reasonable Control of the Licensee or unless authorized by the
				Commission, the surveillance room shall be maintained at all times by a
				sufficient number of approved surveillance operators as reflected in the
				security plan approved by the Commission. The Executive Director, after
				consultation with the Commission's Director of Law Enforcement, may require
				additional surveillance personnel should the Executive Director determine that
				an inadequacy of surveillance monitoring exists.
(h) Before implementing any material changes
				to a surveillance system that affects the approved security plan, the Racetrack
				Gaming Operator Licensee must submit the proposed changes to the Commission's
				Director of Law Enforcement for approval.
(i) A Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee must
				notify a Gaming Agent immediately of any failure of the surveillance system to
				continuously monitor the Gaming Facility or to otherwise operate properly. The
				Commission may require temporary suspension of gaming activities until the
				surveillance system is restored.
