(1) The
holder of a certificate of suitability shall post a bond in the sum of
$1,000,000.00 payable to: "State of Michigan," under the requirements of

holder.
(2) Unless otherwise
required by the board, a casino license bond shall be in compliance with all of
the following additional requirements:

surety bond must be with a surety company that is approved by the board and
guaranteed by a guarantor that is approved by the board.
(b) An irrevocable line of credit issued as
security for a bond must also be approved by the board.
(c) If the holder of the certificate of
suitability plans to post a surety bond, negotiable securities, or irrevocable
letter of credit, then the holder shall submit its bond proposal not less than
45 days before the time the bond is to be posted to allow the board sufficient
time to investigate and approve the proposed bond and the surety, guarantor, or
banking institution that issued the bond and irrevocable letter of credit or
negotiable securities guaranteeing payment of the bond.
(d) The bond shall be payable to the state of
Michigan as obligee for use in payment of the casino licensee's financial

faithfully makes the payments, keeps its books and records, makes reports, and
conducts its casino gambling operation in conformity with the act and these
rules.

that it may be exercised by the state if the licensee fails to substantially
comply with its obligations under the act, and these rules.
(f) The bond shall state that it shall run
continuously and remain in full force and effect throughout the period during
which the license is held, unless the surety cancels the bond by giving the
board not less than 30 days' written notice.
(3) The board may demand that a casino
licensee post a new bond that complies with the act and subrules (1) and (2) of
this rule if any of the following provisions apply:
(a) Liability on the existing bond is
discharged or reduced by judgment rendered, payment made, or other
situation.
(b) The board determines
that any surety, guarantor, irrevocable letter of credit, or other negotiable
securities on the old bond are no longer satisfactory and approved.

institution that issued the irrevocable letter of credit or other negotiable
