SECTION 325:85-15-40. Payment by ticket printers
Latest version.
- (a) If the Player Terminal has a printer that is used to make payments, the printer shall be located in a locked area of the Player Terminal, which requires opening of the main door to access, but the printer shall not be located in the logic compartment or the drop box.(b) The Player Terminal, in which the printer is housed shall be linked to a ticket validation system, which records the ticket information. Validation approval or information shall come from the ticket validation system in order to validate tickets. Tickets may be validated at any location, as long as it meets the standards within this section.(c) Each Player Terminal shall be designed so that if communication is lost, and validation information cannot be sent to the ticket validation system, there is an alternate method of payment. The validation system must be able to identify duplicate tickets, to prevent fraud.(d) The printer shall print on a ticket and must provide the ticket data to a ticket validation system that records the following information regarding each payout ticket printed:(1) Value of credits in local monetary units in numerical form;(2) Time of day the ticket was printed in twenty-four hour format showing hours and minutes - printing of this information is not required, provided that storage of this information is retained in the database;(3) Date, in any recognized format, indicating the day, month, and year;(4) Player Terminal number or machine number; and(5) Unique validation number, or barcode.(e) If the taxation limit is reached on any single play when using a ticket printer, then the ticket must not be able to be redeemed at any place other than through human interaction - not on another machine or at a self-serve kiosk.(f) The Player Terminal shall either keep a duplicate copy or print only one copy to the player but have the ability to retain the ticket-out information within the cashless transaction log, to resolve player disputes. In addition, an approved ticket validation system shall be used to validate the payout ticket, and the ticket information on the system shall be retained at least as long as the ticket is valid at that location.(g) A printer shall have mechanisms to allow the Player Terminal to interpret and act upon the following conditions. Such conditions must disable the game, and produce an error condition, requiring attendant intervention to resume play:(1) Out of paper/paper low (It is not necessary to lock up a game during a 'Paper Low' condition.);(2) Printer jam/failure; and(3) Printer disconnected. (It is permissible for the Player Terminal to detect this error condition when the game tries to print.)
