Section 15.1.12.9 - APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF TOKENS

A. A gaming operator licensee may not issue, sell or redeem any token unless the board has issued written approval of the specifications of the token and of a sample of the token. A gaming operator licensee may not issue, sell or redeem any token that is a modification of a previously approved token unless the board has issued written approval of the modification.

B. Applications for approval of tokens and modifications to previously approved tokens must be made on forms provided or approved by the board. Only a gaming operator licensee or a licensed manufacturer may apply for such approval. The application must include:

(1) an exact drawing of the front, back, and edge of the proposed token, drawn to actual size or to scale larger than actual size showing the measurements of the proposed token. The drawing must show the proposed token's diameter and thickness and any logo, design or wording to be contained on the token, all of which must be depicted on the drawing as they will appear, both as to size and location, on the actual token;

(2) written specifications for the proposed token;

(3) the name and address of the manufacturer of the proposed token;

(4) the intended use for the proposed token; and

(5) any other information required by the board.

C. If the board determines, in the board's discretion, that based on the information provided in the application the proposed token conforms with the requirements of this rule, the board will notify the applicant in writing. The applicant then must submit a sample of the proposed token in final manufactured form to the board. The applicant may be required to conduct a field test of the token in the gaming machine in which the token will be used. If the board determines that the manufactured sample conforms to the requirements of this rule and the information submitted in the application, the board will approve the token and notify the applicant in writing. The board may retain all samples of tokens.
