✨ Gaming Machine Tournaments Regulations

2010

NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 79

29 JUNE 2004

NZ4 Gaming Machine Tournaments (Supplementary Section)

[NB: This supplementary section is unique to the New Zealand jurisdiction and the numbering system adopted in this section does not have cross-references to the National Standard.]

NZ4.1 Tournament Mode Activation

Specialised software that permits tournament games and requires swapping of chips to implement is not permitted. Therefore, software that offers tournament mode must provide a secure means to enable switching between tournament mode and normal game play.

NZ4.2 Tournament Mode Message

A message indicating that the machine is in tournament mode must be clearly displayed on the machine.

NZ4.3 Implications on Cash Input

All coin and note acceptors must be disabled when an EGM is placed in tournament mode and the main door is closed.
“Tournament Credits” are to be added via a facility in machine audit mode.

NZ4.4 Implications on Cash Out

The cash out button or its equivalent (eg “Cash Mode” option) must not be operable while the gaming device is in tournament mode.

NZ4.5 Implications on Cashless Gaming

Cards (or other devices) used for cashless gaming must not be able to be used to facilitate the transfer of credits to or from an EGM in tournament mode.

NZ4.6 Tournament Metering

When placed in tournament mode, the “Credit” meter should be labelled “Tournament Credits”. The credit meter’s function does not alter from normal game play.
There is to be a “Tournament Win” meter. This is to be a cumulative meter displayed to the player during tournament mode. It shall be reset to zero by entry to tournament mode and by other approved means (eg Audit mode).
The number of credits won on a tournament game is to be added to the Tournament Win meter.
No metering information is to be sent to the monitoring system while an EGM is in tournament mode.

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 ...
