“6.1 Subject to rules 6.7 and 6.8, the casino operator may refuse to make any prize payment to the player in respect of
a wager in any case where the casino operator is satisfied that for any reason whatsoever the electronic gaming
machine being played, or associated gaming equipment, has malfunctioned.
6.2 Where the casino operator refuses payment of a wager pursuant to rule 6.1, the casino operator shall:
(a) report the matter immediately to a Government inspector;
(b) ensure that the machine involved is not played or otherwise dealt with by any person until a Government
inspector is afforded the opportunity to make a full examination of the machine; and
(c) refund any credit or credits wagered for the play in which the prize payment is being refused.
6.3 An electronic gaming machine shall be deemed, in the absence of it being established to the contrary, to have
malfunctioned where the same hand, set of numbers or combination of symbols is displayed during three or more
consecutive games on the machine.
6.4 Players are required to notify the casino operator in the event of any and all machine malfunctions. Failure to do
so, and the retention of any prize or free plays as a result of machine malfunction, may be considered a
contravention of these rules.
6.5 Should an electronic gaming machine malfunction while a player’s credits remain displayed on the machine, the
credits remaining shall be paid out manually.
6.6 In the event of a malfunction of a jackpot meter, jackpot controller or electronic gaming machine forming part of
a linked jackpot arrangement, the casino operator reserves the right to adjust the value of the jackpot prize in
accordance with approved procedures.
6.7 In the event that a mystery jackpot attached to a bank of gaming machines reaches its ceiling value without being
triggered, the casino operator shall allocate the jackpot prize evenly among the players on the bank at the time the
jackpot ceiling was reached. In the case of a mystery jackpot involving a merchandize prize, the cash equivalent
of that prize shall be allocated accordingly.
6.8 In the event that a stand-alone mystery jackpot reaches its ceiling value without being triggered, the casino
operator shall award the jackpot to the player on the machine at the time the jackpot ceiling was reached.”
