(1)   a drawing or drawings to scale of the building(s) in which the applicant proposes to conduct gaming, with the area(s) designated as the proposed Gaming Facility clearly outlined;

(2)   a general description of the type and number of Gaming Machines proposed for operation;

(3)   generic description of the games to be played on the machines and the proposed placement of the machines in the Gaming Facility;

(b)   The operations plan must provide for an escrow account or accounts to be established and maintained in accordance with Commission requirements for the purpose of holding in reserve large or progressive prizes to be won by participants and generated by the Gaming Facility. In the alternative, the Operator could secure the payment of such prizes through other funding mechanisms such as an irrevocable surety bond, irrevocable trust with an independent financial institution, other trust mechanism, or letters of credit. The use of such alternative methods of prize payment must in every instance be preapproved by the Commission. Any purse monies generated by the Gaming Facility must be maintained in a separate escrow account.

(c)   An applicant for a Racetrack Gaming Operator License is responsible for ensuring that Key Executive applications are filed in accordance with the Act and these Rules. The Commission may delay approval of or deny an application for a Racetrack Gaming Operator License on the grounds that a Key Executive application has not been submitted as required.

(d)   A Racetrack Gaming Operator License will not be granted unless the Commission first determines that the operations plan submitted is suitable for the type of operation proposed and otherwise complies with the requirements of the Act and these Rules.
