Schedule 3 - Appendix C

C.4. TICKET VALIDATION SYSTEMS USED IN TICKET OUT TICKET IN GAMING MACHINES

C.4.1. Introduction

A ticket validation system may be entirely integrated into an approved CMCS or be part of a Cash Control System. The system must be capable of recording all ticket in and ticket out transactions for reconciliation purposes.

C.4.2. General

C.4.2.1. Ticket Limits

Subject to all relevant rules and specifications, ticket limits may be set by the casino operator in accordance with approved procedures or minimum operating standards. These limits in dollar values may only be set, or changed, by either a down-loadable parameter from the CMCS or by accessing the logic area of the gaming machine.

C.4.2.2. Metering

A gaming machine which contains a banknote acceptor device which also accepts tickets must maintain sufficient metering to be able to report the following:

a.  total monetary value of tickets accepted (Tickets In);
b.  total monetary value of tickets issued (Tickets Out).

C.4.2.3. Invalid Ticket Notification

The validation system or CMCS must have the ability to identify these occurrences and reject the ticket from a gaming machine and/or prevent it from being paid at a Cashier Terminal:

a.  Serial number cannot be found on file (stale date, forgery, etc.);
b.  Ticket has already been paid; or
c.  Amount of ticket differs from amount on file (requirement can be met by display of ticket amount for confirmation by cashier during the redemption process).

C.4.2.4. Offline Ticket Redemption

If the on-line data system temporarily goes down and validation information cannot be sent to the validation system or CMCS, an alternate method of payment for cashing printed tickets shall be applied by the Cashier as per internal control procedures.

C.4.2.5. Reporting Requirements and Ticket Reconciliation

a.  All Ticket In and Ticket Out transactions will be validated by a CMCS or Cash Control System. A record will be kept of all transactions and reports will be produced which will be reconciled with all validated/redeemed tickets for each gaming day.
