Mo. Code Regs. tit. 11 § 45-8.150

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 23, December 2, 2024

Section 11 CSR 45-8.150 - Cash Reserve Requirements

PURPOSE: This rule establishes cash reserve requirements.

(1) The licensee shall maintain in cash or cash equivalents an amount sufficient to protect patrons against defaults in gaming debts owed by the licensee. Cash equivalents are investments with an original maturity of three (3) months or less which would be permissible investments under Missouri law for state monies held by the state treasurer. The commission shall distribute to licensees and make available to all interested persons a formula approved by the commission by which licensees determine the minimum bankroll requirements of this rule. If, at any time, the licensee's available cash or cash equivalents should be less than the amount required by this rule, the licensee must immediately notify the commission of this deficiency. Failure to maintain the minimum bankroll required by this rule, or a higher bankroll as required by the commission pursuant to this rule, or failure to notify the commission of any deficiencies, is an unsuitable method of operation.

(2) The Class B licensee shall maintain the following minimum bankroll requirements to ensure payment of patrons' win:

(A) First month of operation one hundred percent (100%) of licensee's projected payout to patrons (electronic gaming device and table game drop minus licensee win) for a weekly period, defined as seven (7) gaming days, based on the average daily payout multiplied by seven (7); and

(B) Second and subsequent months of operation one hundred percent (100%) of licensee's actual payout to patrons (electronic gaming device and table game drop minus licensee win) for a weekly period, based on the average daily payout multiplied by seven (7) from the previous month's operation.
