038-2 Wyo. Code R. §§ 2-3 - Decal Application and Fees

(a) An application to purchase a decal for an approved skill based amusement game to be placed at an operator establishment must be completed by the vendor, or if an operator is operating independently it will be completed by the operator, on a uniform application furnished by the Commission.

(b) The application form may include, but is not limited to the following:

(i) Name of vendor;

(ii) Name of operator;

(iii) Name of the skill based amusement game to be placed;

(iv) Names of individual games on the skill based amusement game;

(v) Serial number for the skill based amusement game software or game board to be placed in the cabinet of the skill based amusement game and the serial number for the cabinet;

(vi) Contact information for the manufacturer of the skill based amusement game;

(vii) Location of the establishment where the skill based amusement game will be placed;

(viii) The number of skill based amusement games already placed at the location; and

(ix) Laboratory testing report number.

(c) Items to be included as attachments with the application may include, but not be limited to:

(i) Proof that the skill based amusement game in its current form has been approved by the Commission. This may include a copy of the approval letter or other sufficient proof as determined by the Commission; and

(ii) A signed affidavit from the vendor of the skill based amusement game attesting to the fact that the game to be placed is identical in all technical respects to a previously approved game, if applicable.

(d) An application that does not provide all information requested by the Commission will be considered incomplete and will be rejected.

(e) The initial fee, and then each year thereafter, is fifty dollars ($50.00) per decal to be paid by the vendor, or if an operator is operating independently, it will be paid by the operator. This must be paid in a manner prescribed by the Commission on or before July 1 of each year. If an application for a decal is denied, payment will be returned or refunded.

(f) Once an application has been approved and a decal issued, the decal is only valid for the skill based amusement game and its software or game board identified by its serial number on the application. If a decal is found to be placed on a skill based amusement game which does not match with the serial number on file, it will be considered in violation of W.S. § 11-25-304(b). No skill based amusement game shall be operational unless it bears a current Commission issued decal.

(g) Once an application has been approved and a decal issued:

(i) A skill based amusement game may only be placed at the location described on the application approved by the Commission; and

(ii) The skill based amusement game may not be moved without prior approval of the Commission. The application to move a skill based amusement game will be made available in a format provided by the Commission.

(h) If an operator owns a skill based amusement game outright, and transfers ownership of the business, and the new owner intends to continue to operate a skill based amusement game in the location, the new owner is required to purchase new decals. The Commission may review the skill based amusement game and all reports prior to issuing a new decal. There is no grace period for a new owner of a business to apply for a decal. The new decals must be applied for, purchased, and placed on the skill based amusement game at the start of the first day of business under the new ownership or turned off until such time as new decals have been issued.

(i) If a vendor transfers ownership of the business or the skill based amusement games individually, the new owner of the business or games is required to purchase new decals. The Commission may review the skill based amusement game and all reports prior to issuing a new decal.

(j) Completed decal applications will be processed in the order in which they are received by the Commission.

(k) For decal application renewals, priority will be given to vendors with skill based amusement games currently placed at an operator location.
