External bonusing systems are comprised of slot machines that
are configured to participate in electronically communicated bonus award
payments from an approved host system, and the host system that controls award
issuance. Bonusing awards are based on a specific wager or specific event and
are available to all patrons playing bonused slot machines. Payouts as a result
of a bonusing event are a deductible event in the adjusted gross revenue
calculation. The following procedures must be followed by any external bonusing
system:
(1) Slot machine credit meters
must record the value of any patron bonusing wins which are not paid directly
to the player. If the bonusing amount won exceeds the machine jackpot limit,
the slot machine must lock up as if it were a hand pay and display the amount
owed to the patron. Electronic accounting meters affected as the result of the
bonusing event must increment as if any other win had occurred. In addition to
the meters required by ยง
20:18:17:03, additional machine
paid external bonus payout and attendant paid external bonus payout meters must
be added;
(2) Bonusing
functionality must be configured using an approved security method such as key
chip or other form approved by the commission through internal control
procedures. Access to the secured area requires prior approval of the
commission;
(3) Slot machines
configured to participate in the bonusing system must have the ability to
recall the last 35 monetary transactions received from the host system. If a
slot machine has cashless or promotional features enabled simultaneously with
bonusing features, a single 100-event log suffices. The following transaction
information must be displayed:
(A) Transaction
values; and
(B) Time and
date.
