North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 99 - State Gaming Commission › Article 99-01.3 - Games of Chance › Chapter 99-01.3-08 - Twenty-One › Section 99-01.3-08-04 - Video surveillance system

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
If a site had twenty-one gross proceeds averaging ten
				  thousand dollars or more per quarter for two entire consecutive quarters, this
				  level of activity is expected to continue, and wagers exceed two dollars, an
				  organization shall have a video surveillance system operational at the site
				  within forty-five days from the end of the second quarter. However, for a site
				  with seasonal activity, this level of activity is based on the average gross
				  proceeds of the active quarters within the fiscal year July first through June
				  thirtieth. A level of activity is based on a site's recent historical
				  experience, but not earlier than the previous fiscal year, regardless of which
				  organization conducted twenty-one at the site. If an organization conducts
				  twenty-one at a newly acquired site that has a level of activity requiring a
				  video surveillance system, it shall have the system for a table operational
				  within forty-five days of conducting twenty-one or limit wagers to two dollars
				  until the system is operational. A system must be operational for each
				  twenty-one table that is regularly located on a site, regardless of how
				  infrequent a table is used or the value of wagers accepted at the table. A
				  temporary table that is brought onto a site for fourteen or fewer consecutive
				  days for a special event according to subsection 4 of section
				  99-01.3-01-02, but for not more
				  than two events per quarter, does not need a system. An organization
				  shall:
1. Install a system that meets
				these requirements:
a. A recording unit must
				record in real time. A video system must be approved by the attorney general
				and no time lapse or multiplex video recorders may be used as the primary mode
				of operation. A recording unit must be secured in a locked vented cabinet or
				area, plugged into an outlet that cannot be switched off, and be programmable
				with a minimum seven-day memory backup. A recording unit must have a built-in
				or separate time and date generator that displays the time and date on the
				recorded video without significantly obstructing a recorded picture. A playback
				unit used to review a recorded video must have forward and reverse
				frame-by-frame and high-speed scanning capability;
b. A high-resolution color camera must be
				positioned above the center of a table and record gaming activity from the
				dealer's perspective. A camera must be plugged into a surge protector and use
				an outlet that cannot be switched off. A camera must be protected by a slotted
				or clear dome;
c. A camera lens
				must have a field of view to record the face of a dealing shoe, all betting
				spaces, discard holder, chip tray, currency plunger, and table
				number;
d. A color video monitor
				onsite; and
e. A system must be
				capable of allowing organizations to download, burn, or copy files onto a
				storage device.
