29 JUNE 2004 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 79

1957

Scattered Pays

1.35.9

The artwork must clearly indicate that scattered pays are multiplied by the total number of credits staked. This may be either via a message or a tabulation of all possible wagers and their payouts. If partial tabulation is used the artwork must clearly indicate that the prize for one credit (or other appropriate bet) staked is multiplied by the total number of credits bet. Alternate game instructions must ensure that it is not possible to incorrectly assume that the tabulated prizes are further multiplied by credits bet.

Tokenised Games

1.35.10

All games that can be tokenised must have all prize references in credits and not coins. Appropriate statements indicating that all prizes are shown in credits must be displayed.

Cash Prizes

1.35.11

The nature of all prizes must be clearly indicated. If some prizes are in cash whilst some others are in credits, this must be stated.

Scatters

1.35.12

The scattered symbol must be clearly labelled with the word "scatters" once in the game instructions. Further occurrences of the scattered symbol in the game instructions do not require further labelling.

Maximum Bet

1.35.13

The artwork must either state the maximum bet, the number of credits that can be bet per selected lit line and the number of possible lines available or it must be possible to deduce this information from the game rules.

Minimum Bet

1.35.14

The minimum bet (if not easily deduced via the button panel) must be readily available to the player.

Positioning, Size, Colour And Shape

One Symbol/Prize Instructions

1.35.15

Game instructions that belong to only one symbol/prize or a group of symbols/prizes must be clearly associated with the symbol/prize or group of symbols/prizes. This may be achieved with appropriate framing or boxing. Additional wording such as "these symbols" could also be used.

Grouped Instructions

1.35.16

Game instructions which are grouped by appropriate framing, boxing or other means to be associated with a particular symbol, group of symbols or game feature(s) must not apply to other symbols or game features outside the group. For example, global game rules cannot be placed inside an area of grouped instructions dealing specifically with a free spin feature.

Global Instructions

1.35.17

Game instructions that refer to all symbols/prizes must read "ALL" or equivalent. If some symbols/prizes are excluded from these instructions, this must be indicated with wording such as "EXCEPT" or equivalent.

Messages' Colour

1.35.18

Game instructions must be printed in a colour that contrasts with the background colour to ensure that all instructions are clearly readable. For example black print on dark purple background is not acceptable.

Symbols’ Shape

1.35.19

Symbols that are not characters or numbers must maintain the same shape throughout all artwork, except while animation is in progress. Any symbol that changes shape or colour during an animation process must not appear in a way that might misrepresent another symbol in the paytable.

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.
