(a) A slot machine licensee may utilize a
gaming service provider that is not registered, certified or authorized to
conduct business in accordance with §
437a.8 (relating to authorized
gaming service providers list; prohibited gaming service providers) when a
threat to public health, welfare or safety of the building or its occupants
exists or circumstances outside the control of the slot machine licensee create
an urgency of need which does not permit the delay involved in using the formal
method of gaming service provider certification or registration. A slot machine
licensee may not use a gaming service provider on the prohibited
list.
(b) When using a gaming
service provider that is not registered, certified or authorized to conduct
business to respond to an emergency, the slot machine licensee shall:
(1) Immediately notify the onsite casino
compliance representatives in the licensed facility of the emergency and the
gaming service provider that was selected to provide emergency
services.
(2) File a Gaming Service
Provider Emergency Notification Form with the Bureau of Licensing within 72
hours after commencement of the gaming service provider's services and a
written explanation of the basis for the procurement of the emergency gaming
service provider.
(c) An
employee of the emergency gaming service provider who is providing emergency
services in the licensed facility shall obtain a temporary access credential in
accordance with §
435a.9a(d)
(relating to gaming service provider employee temporary access credentials)
prior to performing any work.
(d)
If the slot machine licensee continues to utilize the gaming service provider
after the emergency circumstances have passed or if the Bureau of Licensing
determines that the circumstances did not necessitate the use of an emergency
gaming service provider that was not registered, certified or on the authorized
list, the slot machine license and gaming service provider shall comply with
the requirements in this chapter.
