An emergency drop that deviates from the schedule shall be permissible for instances of full containers or container malfunctions provided that representatives from the security department and another department conduct the drop and the process is recorded by the surveillance department from the time of machine entry until the container is secured in the count room or other approved secure location. The commission representative shall be notified after each occurrence.

(2) A security employee shall accompany and observe the drop team. For table games, all containers removed from the gaming tables shall be transported by a security employee and a table game supervisor.

a. Be removed by a drop team wearing uniforms or outer garments as required by subrule 12.15(2).

b. Be replaced immediately with an empty container that shall be secured in the cabinet.

(4) All containers removed shall be transported directly to, and secured in, the count room or in a secure area within the facility until the containers can be transferred to the count room.

(5) Empty containers not secured to the gaming tables or slot machine compartment shall be stored in the count room or an approved secured location. Empty containers may be removed from the count room or secured area for repair or destruction provided the surveillance department is notified and the inside of the container is held up to the full view of a closed circuit television camera prior to removal.
