Gambling Helpline, or such other information relating to harm
minimisation as the Authority may reasonably require; and
(f) no ticket-capable gaming machine shall be able to offer a game with
a denomination of less than 20 cents.
6.0 Irregularities
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.
