Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) A
				prototype of a Compact Electronic Game or Non-Compact Electronic Game, or
				Component thereof, which a Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee intends to offer
				for play shall be tested and certified by an Independent Testing as conforming
				to the Use and Operation Requirements.
(b) A Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee
				shall provide, or require that the Manufacturer or Vendor provide, to the
				Independent Testing Laboratory a written request as to each game for which
				certification is sought, any fees required to be deposited with the Independent
				Testing Laboratory, and, on a confidential basis, all information requested by
				the Independent Testing Laboratory in order to make such a determination. The
				Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee shall send copies of the requests for
				certification to the Commission when made and shall make all materials
				submitted to the Independent Testing Laboratory available to the Commission
				upon request. Any materials so submitted which are designated by the
				Manufacturer or Vendor as proprietary shall remain confidential and shall not
				be subject to the disclosure requirements of the Oklahoma Open Records
				Act.
(c) If requested by the
				Independent Testing Laboratory, the Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee shall
				require the Manufacturer or Vendor to transport not more than two (2) working
				models of the game for which certification is sought to a location designated
				by the Independent Testing Laboratory for testing, examination, and/or
				analysis. Neither the State nor the Independent Testing Laboratory shall be
				liable for any costs associated with the transportation, testing, examination,
				or analysis, including any damage to the Components of the game. If requested
				by the Independent Testing Laboratory, the Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee
				shall require the Manufacturer or Vendor to provide specialized equipment or
				the services of an independent technical expert to assist with the testing,
				examination, and/or analysis. At the conclusion of each test, the Independent
				Testing Laboratory shall provide to the Commission a report that contains
				findings, conclusions and a certification that the game conforms or fails to
				conform to the Use and Operation Requirements. If the Independent Testing
				Laboratory determines that the game fails to satisfy such requirements, and if
				Modifications can be made which would bring the game into compliance, the
				report may contain recommendations for such Modifications. The Independent
				Testing Laboratory shall retest for compliance following such Modifications.
				The Independent Testing Laboratory shall report all findings and conclusions to
				the Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee, the Manufacturer/Vendor and the
				Commission, provided that at any time prior to issuance of a final report by
				the Independent Testing Laboratory, the Racetrack Gaming Operator Licensee may
				instruct it to terminate the process, in which case no report shall be
				made.
