D.3.4. Card Games

a. Cards must be drawn fairly from a randomly shuffled pack consisting of the full set of cards applicable to the game depicted.

b. Cards once removed from the pack must not be returned to the pack except as provided by the rules of the game depicted.

c. The pack must not be reshuffled except as provided by the rules of the game depicted.

d. As cards are removed from the pack they must be immediately used as directed by the rules of the game, ie. are not to be discarded due to adaptive behaviour by the EGM.

D.3.5. Ball Drawing Games

a. Balls must be drawn fairly from a randomly mixed barrel consisting of the full set of balls applicable to the game depicted.

b. Balls once removed from the barrel must not be returned to the barrel except as provided by the rules of the game depicted.

c. The barrel must not be re-mixed except as provided by the rules of the game depicted.

D.3.6. Roulette/Wheel/Reel Spinning, Dice Rolling, Coin Tossing Games

For games depicting or involving any of:

a. the spinning of reels (such as "slot machines" or "poker machines"),

b. the spinning of wheels (such as roulette),

c. the rolling of dice,

d. the tossing of coins,

e. other similar depictions,

the following requirements apply:

i. For each reel/wheel/die/coin/etc. depicted, the probability of any one face appearing must be as for the actual physical device (eg. 1/20 for a 20-faced reel or wheel; 1/6 for a 6-faced die; 1/2 for a coin).

ii. The Authority may approve "virtual reel extensions" for physical reel EGMs (ie. stepper motor machines) but only if the probability of each virtual reel position is identical (eg. a 22 position physical reel is mapped into a virtual reel of 33 symbols - the probability of each virtual position must be 1/33). The virtual mapping of such physical reels must be approved by the Authority.

iii. The behaviour of each reel/wheel/die/coin/etc. must be independent of (ie. uncorrelated with) all other reels/wheels/dice/coins/etc.

iv. The behaviour of each reel/wheel/die/coin/etc. must be independent of (ie. uncorrelated with) its previous behaviour.

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"
