The machine manufacturer and distributor are responsible for the assembly and initial operation of all video lottery machines and associated equipment in the manner approved and licensed by the commission. The manufacturer and distributor may not change the assembly or operational functions of a machine for placement in the state unless a request for "modification to an existing video lottery machine prototype" is made to the commission that contains information relating to the type of change, reason for change, and all documentation required in § 48:02:07:02.
In emergency cases, if a change is necessary to prevent cheating or malfunction, temporary approval may be requested prior to submitting the request for modification to an existing video lottery machine prototype. This approval, if granted, must be followed within 15 days by a written request noting that temporary approval was given and providing all information required in this section.
