Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. The
					 conduct of charitable gaming is a privilege that may be granted or denied by
					 the department. Except as provided in § 18.2-340.23 of the Code of
					 Virginia, every eligible organization, volunteer fire department, and rescue
					 squad with anticipated gross gaming receipts that exceed the amount set forth
					 in § 18.2-340.23 of the Code of Virginia in any 12-month period shall
					 obtain a permit from the department prior to the commencement of charitable
					 gaming activities. To be eligible for a permit, an organization must meet all
					 of the requirements of § 18.2-340.24 of the Code of Virginia.
B. Pursuant to § 18.2-340.24 B of the
					 Code of Virginia, the department shall review a tax exempt request submitted to
					 the IRS for a tax exempt status determination and may issue an interim
					 certification of tax-exempt status solely for the purpose of charitable gaming,
					 conditioned upon a determination by the IRS. The department shall charge the
					 fee set forth in § 18.2-340.24 B of the Code of Virginia for this review.
					 The fee shall be payable to the Treasurer of Virginia.
C. A permit shall be valid only for
					 activities, locations, days, dates, and times as listed on the permit. A permit
					 alone does not authorize an organization to conduct electronic gaming. An
					 organization that conducts electronic gaming must have a separate electronic
					 gaming authorization on its permit.
D. In accordance with § 18.2-340.19 A 1
					 of the Code of Virginia, as a condition of receiving a charitable gaming permit
					 or authorization to conduct electronic gaming, an organization shall use a
					 minimum percentage of its charitable gaming receipts for those lawful
					 religious, charitable, community, or educational purposes for which the
					 organization is specifically chartered or organized as follows:
1. For all charitable gaming other than
					 electronic gaming, the minimum percentage shall be 10% of its gross
					 receipts.
2. For electronic gaming,
					 the minimum percentage shall be 20 % of its electronic gaming adjusted gross
					 receipts.

D. Permits shall be granted only after a background investigation of an organization, interested persons, or both to ensure public safety and welfare as required by §
											18.2-340.25 of the Code of Virginia. Investigations shall consider the nature, the age and severity, and the potential harm to public safety and welfare of any criminal offenses. The investigation may include the following:
1. A search of criminal history records for the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the organization, game manager, or charitable host representative.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. As
					 used in this section, unless the context requires a different meaning:
"Card position" means the first card dealt, second card
						dealt in sequential order.
"Number position" means the first number drawn in
						sequential order.
B. A
					 distributed pull-tab system shall utilize randomizing procedures in the
					 creation of game sets for electronic pull-tabs or externally generated
					 randomized game sets that have been created using a method previously approved
					 by the department.
C. Any random
					 number generation, shuffling, or randomization of outcomes used in connection
					 with a distributed pull-tab system must be by use of a random number generation
					 application that has successfully passed standard tests for randomness and
					 unpredictability including:
1. Each card
					 position or number position satisfies the 99% confidence limit using the
					 standard chi-squared analysis. "Chi-squared analysis" is the sum of the ratio
					 of the square difference between the expected result and the observed result to
					 the expected result.
2. Each card
					 position or number position does not produce a significant statistic with
					 regard to producing patterns of occurrences. Each card position or number
					 position will be considered random if it meets the 99% confidence level with
					 regard to the "run test" or any similar pattern testing statistic. The "run
					 test" is a mathematical statistic that determines the existence of recurring
					 patterns within a set of data.
3.
					 Each card position or number position is independently chosen without regard to
					 any other card or number drawn within that game play. This test is the
					 "correlation test." Each pair of card positions or number positions is
					 considered random if it meets the 99% confidence level using standard
					 correlation analysis.
4. Each card
					 position or number position is independently chosen without reference to the
					 same card position or number position in the previous game. This test is the
					 "serial correlation test." Each card position or number position is considered
					 random if it meets the 99% confidence level using standard serial correlation
					 analysis.

					 network, communication protocols shall be used that ensure that erroneous data
					 or signals will not adversely affect the operations of any such system
					 components.
B. All data
					 communication shall incorporate an error detection and correction scheme to
					 ensure the data is transmitted and received accurately.
C. Connections between all components of the
					 distributed pull-tab system shall only be through the use of secure
					 communication protocols that are designed to prevent unauthorized access or
					 tampering, employing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or equivalent

D. A firewall or
					 equivalent hardware device configured to block all inbound and outbound traffic
					 that has not been expressly permitted and is not required for continued use of
					 the distributed pull-tab system must exist between the distributed pull-tab
					 system and any external point of access.
E. The minimum width (size) for encryption
					 keys is 112 bits for symmetric algorithms and 1024 bits for public
					 keys.
F. There must be a secure
					 method implemented for changing the current encryption key set. It is not
					 acceptable to only use the current key set to "encrypt" the next set.
G. There must be a secure method in place for
					 the storage of any encryption keys. Encryption keys must not be stored without
					 being encrypted themselves.
H. If a
					 wireless network is used, wireless products used in conjunction with any gaming
					 system or system component must meet the following minimum standards:
1. Employ a security process that complies
					 with the Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 (FIPS 140-2);
					 or
2. Employ an alternative method,
					 as approved by the department.

					 system must process voucher redemption correctly according to the secure
					 communication protocol implemented.
3. The algorithm or method used by the
					 validation system or distributed pull-tab system to generate the voucher
					 validation numbers must guarantee an insignificant percentage of repetitive
					 validation numbers.
4. The
					 validation system must retrieve the voucher information correctly based on the
					 secure communication protocol implemented and store the voucher information in
					 a database. The voucher record on the host system must contain, at a minimum,
					 the following voucher information:

					 Validation number;
b. Date and time
					 the electronic gaming device printed the voucher;
c. Value of voucher in dollars and
					 cents;
