| (a) The Commission may examine and inspect any card-minding
system that was used, is being used, or is intended for subsequent
use, in the conduct of bingo, including any individual card-minding
device and related site system. Such examination and inspection includes
immediate access to the card-minding device and unlimited inspection
of all parts of the card-minding system.
(b) Distributors and manufacturers shall provide records
related to approved card-minding systems requested by the Commission,
or any of its employees, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the
request unless a longer response time is allowed by the request.
(c) If the Commission detects or discovers any problem
with the card-minding system that affects the security and/or integrity
of the bingo game or card-minding system, the Commission:
(1) may direct the manufacturer, distributor, or licensed
authorized organization to cease the sale, lease, or use of the card-minding
system, as applicable and/or to remove the card-minding system from
use or play until further notice by the Commission; and
(2) may require the manufacturer to correct the problem
or recall the card-minding system immediately upon notification by
the Commission to the manufacturer.
(d) If the manufacturer, distributor, or licensed authorized
organization detects or discovers any defect, malfunction, or problem
with the card-minding system that affects the security and/or integrity
of the bingo game or card-minding system, the manufacturer, distributor,
or licensed authorized organization, as applicable, shall immediately:
(1) remove the card-minding system from use or play;
and
(2) notify the Commission of such action.
(e) The Commission, at its discretion, may require
additional examination or inspection of bingo card-minding systems
at any time. Such additional examinations or inspections may be at
the manufacturer's expense and may be a condition of the continued
use of such system.
(f) A manufacturer's demonstration of a non-approved
card-minding system or any secondary component may take place only
after permission is granted by the Commission. The request to demonstrate
must be provided to the Commission at least seven (7) calendar days
prior to the date of demonstration. The Commission may request a manufacturer
to voluntarily demonstrate to the Commission staff a bingo product
that the manufacturer markets in another jurisdiction.
