038-4 Wyo. Code R. §§ 4-6 - Designated Areas

(a) Pursuant to W.S. § 11-25-303(d) an operator shall not locate a skill based amusement game in an area of the establishment into which a person under the age of twenty-one (21) years may enter. An operator shall conspicuously mark each area as an age restricted area. The operator shall not allow a person under the age of twenty-one (21) years to play a skill based amusement game.

(b) If the designated area is not statutorily age restricted, the following requirements shall apply:

(i) The designated area shall be cordoned off at a minimum with a one-half wall, or other similar structure, that has received Commission approval and prevents access of any person under the age of twenty-one (21). Establishments shall have sixty (60) days from the effective date of these rules to comply;

(ii) Upon reaching sixty (60) days after the effective date of these rules, and non-compliance is noted, the Commission shall immediately notify the operator and vendor of the non-compliance and the games shall be removed; and

(iii) For good cause shown by the vendor or operator, an exception may be sought requesting to extend the sixty (60) days. No exceptions shall be authorized beyond one hundred twenty (120) days.

(c) It is the responsibility of the operator of the establishment to monitor and restrict entry of anyone into the designated area and police entry of underage players. Failure to monitor the restricted area and failure to restrict entry of anyone under twenty-one (21) may result in a fine or suspension of the operator permit.

(d) The owner, manager, or employee of the establishment shall be present during all hours of operation, and the skill based amusement games or the entrance to the designated area must be within the view of at least one owner, manager or employee.

(e) Operators shall take reasonable measures to prevent an underage person from playing a skill based amusement game.
