✨ Gaming and Monitoring Equipment Standards

1 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 3347

A.2. Ownership and Control of GAMES Document

The ownership, distribution and control of the specifications contained in this division ("this document") and all subsequent amendments reside with the Authority.

A.3. The Act

This document has been prepared pursuant to section 63 of the Casino Control Act 1990.

A.4. Objectives

The intent of this document is to place sufficient controls on electronic gaming equipment and operations to ensure that casino gaming is:

Fair
Safe
Secure
Reliable
Auditable
Profitable
Publicly acceptable.

It is not the intent of this document to:

Mandate a single solution or method of realising an objective
Limit technology application to gaming equipment
Limit creativity and variety of choice
Limit marketability
Advantage any supplier or manufacturer of equipment.

A.5. Document Format

The document is formatted in a manner that acknowledges:

Manufacturers’ development methodologies
The modular design of gaming equipment
The usefulness of module approvals for manufacturing lead times (especially of hardware) of gaming equipment. [Manufacturers can submit a new gaming machine and associated software in modules for progressive approval. Thus artwork, mathematics, primitive or shell software, the logic box, program control boards, etc might all be submitted as individual modules at different time points.]
Optimum testing strategies. [This technical requirements document has been organised so as to remove any ambiguity from the response and submission process for manufacturers, enable testing to be completed quickly and efficiently and facilitate ongoing control. Testing agencies should formulate testing strategies on the basis of these objectives and adopt "world best practice" approaches and procedures in gaming evaluation and control.]

1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
