				which flows when a conductive path is provided between exposed portions of a
				slot machine and the environmental electrical ground when the slot machine is
				isolated from the normal AC power ground;
(2) "Inappropriate coin-in," a coin or token
				which has been accepted by a slot machine after the slot machine has already
				accepted the maximum number of coins or when the slot machine is in a state
				which normally rejects additional coins, sometimes caused by mechanical timing
				limits in coin handling equipment;
(3) "Par sheet," a document which depicts the
				possible outcomes from the play of a slot machine, the probability of
				occurrence of each, and the contribution of each winning outcome to the payback
				percentage of the slot machine;
(4)
				"Random access memory," "RAM," the electronic component used for computer work
				space and storage of volatile information in a slot machine;
(5) "Randomness," the unpredictability and

(8) "Tilt condition," a programmed error

				tilt condition itself;
(9) "Slot
				machine payout receipt," an instrument that is redeemable for cash and is

				printer located internally in a slot machine. This voucher may be redeemed by
				insertion into an acceptance device on a slot machine;

				voucher of predetermined value for redemption of credits. A slot machine coupon
				may also be accepted into a slot machine to accumulate credits;
(12) "Message Digest," the mathematical
				results/signature of a hashing algorithm used to authenticate the programming
				of a slot machine;
(13) "Static
