Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Each video
					 lottery gaming agent shall place on file with the commission a schedule setting
					 forth the specific times at which the drop boxes will be brought to or removed
					 from the bill acceptors in video lottery terminals. Each video lottery gaming
					 agent shall also maintain and make available to the commission upon request,
					 the names and employee license numbers of all employees participating in the
					 transportation of such 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 video lottery terminal 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 the foregoing, the
					 video lottery gaming agent may develop and utilize a plan for removing the drop
					 boxes from the terminals under exigent circumstances. If a video lottery gaming
					 agent alters procedures for removing drop boxes due to unforeseen exigent
					 circumstances, the video lottery gaming agent must 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 video lottery terminals shall be transported directly to and secured in
					 the count room by at least one video lottery gaming security department member.
(1) Upon the removal of a drop box from a
					 video lottery terminal, such drop box shall be immediately placed in an
					 enclosed trolley that is secured by two separately keyed locks. The key to one
					 lock shall be maintained and controlled by a video lottery gaming department
					 member. The key to the second lock shall be maintained and controlled by the
					 video lottery gaming security department in a secure location. Access to the
					 video lottery gaming security department's key shall be limited to supervisors
					 in that department and shall be controlled, at a minimum, by a sign-out and
					 sign-in procedure approved in writing by the commission. The video lottery
					 gaming 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 video lottery gaming
					 floor, a video lottery gaming supervisor 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 video lottery gaming security department has been activated. If a
					 trolley is being transported from the gaming floor to the count room, a video
					 lottery gaming supervisor shall also verify that the gaming 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 video lottery gaming
					 security department member and one video lottery gaming supervisor, and the use
					 of a trolley shall not be required.
