C.2.1.23. Quality Standards

It is preferred that all physical elements of gaming equipment be constructed, manufactured, and assembled with reference to relevant New Zealand quality assurance standards, eg NS9001, NS9002, or NS9003.

C.2.2. Gaming Machine/Terminal

These requirements generally apply to gaming machines and gaming terminals (such as live keno ticket dispensers or electronic horse racing terminals), though some requirements may extend to table games. Please note that where the possibility exists for common requirements (C2.1) to apply to the items covered below, those requirements will apply.

C.2.2.1. Coin/Note Handling Devices

a. The designated path which coins or notes traverse and associated handling devices shall be of solid construct.

b. The designated path which coins or notes traverse and associated handling devices must be designed so as not to impair travel during insertion, acceptance, depositing and expulsion of coins or notes.

c. All coin or note handling devices must provide means through which software may detect and/or logically deduce when potential cheating is in process.

C.2.2.1.1. Coin/Note Acceptance Devices

a. All acceptance devices must be able to detect the entry of valid coins or notes and provide a method to enable software to interpret and act upon a valid/invalid input.

b. The acceptance device(s) must be electronically based and be so designed to ensure that it/they accept(s) coins or notes of New Zealand legal tender (or approved tokens) by checking validity of coins or notes inserted and rejecting (returning to the coin tray) all others.

c. Once set, the acceptance device(s) must be protected from any form of simple adjustment.

d. An acceptance mechanism must include devices (referred to as "lockouts") which prohibit the device from accepting coins or notes or alternatively reject coins or notes entered during periods when the gaming equipment is inoperable for whatever reason.

e. Multiple coin/note acceptance devices may be permitted, provided the Authority is satisfied that the security and auditability of the gaming equipment in which they are installed are not able to be compromised.

C.2.2.1.2. Coin Direction Sensors

a. Sensors on the coin path must be provided to enable the software to determine the direction of travel of coins as they are input into the gaming device.

b. Sensors on the coin path must be provided to enable the software to determine:

i. if a coin is travelling to a cash-box or to a hopper;

ii. if a coin diverter has failed.

c. It is acceptable to provide sensors on the actual coin paths to sense coins or on the diverter to sense direction or both.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
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 ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
2000–Present (CC-BY 3.0 NZ): Gazette issues published on gazette.govt.nz are Crown copyright but are explicitly licensed by the Department of Internal Affairs under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand licence (CC-BY 3.0 NZ). This project redistributes this content in accordance with those terms.

Third-Party Content

Where third-party content (e.g., notices submitted by external organisations) is identified within the Gazette, users should satisfy themselves regarding the copyright status of that specific content, as it may be subject to different ownership terms than the Gazette itself.
