✨ Gaming Machine Regulations

29 JUNE 2004 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 79 2011

The current value of meters prior to entering tournament mode must be preserved upon entering tournament mode and must be restored upon exiting tournament mode.

An EGM must not enter tournament mode while credits exist on the machine.

Where credits are obtained while in tournament mode, those credits are to be automatically cancelled upon exiting tournament mode and shall not be accredited to the meters.

Progressive meters are to be in no way affected while a device is in tournament mode.

NZ4.7 Effect on Players’ Ability to have an Equal Chance of Winning

Machines to be used in the conduct of gaming machine tournaments must have similar design criteria (eg hit rates, maximum bet limits, gamble features and feature games). The Authority may consider exceptions where it is satisfied that the objective of player fairness will not be compromised.

NZ4.8 Tournaments not Permitted on Linked Jackpots

No linked progressive (or stand alone progressive) machines are permitted to participate in a tournament unless the Authority is satisfied that prize values are clearly assigned and displayed for all prize winning combinations. Therefore combinations that would normally trigger the jackpots must have prize values associated with them. Game lock-up and progressive controllers must be disabled.
