supervisor or above to employees of the Department or the operator of the CCC
system who are on the authorized access list. The authorized access list shall
be obtained from the Department and made available to the casino compliance
representatives and the director of security at the licensed facility. A verbal

facility prior to signing out the keys.
(4) The slot machine licensee shall maintain
an access log for the area containing CCC equipment. The log shall be

representatives at the licensed facility may review the log upon request to the
Department and the operator of the CCC system. The log shall be stored and
