Video Lottery Rule Updates


The effect of the rules are to provide the Executive Director the authority to suspend, revoke, or deny video lottery licenses; to clarify a minimum test period for new video lottery game software; permit online training and testing for video lottery technicians, eliminate log book requirements, clarify that ticket voucher credits must be redeemed by the close of the business day, and permit the sale of video lottery machines between operators. The reason for adopting the proposed rules is to increase efficiencies in the video lottery program and to provide greater clarity in the rules.
