Rule 3772-9-02 | Approval for use in a casino facility.
(A) A casino operator is not permitted to install, maintain, use, or operate any electronic gaming equipment unless such equipment is approved in the commission's database or has otherwise been approved by the executive director.
(B) Electronic gaming equipment that accepts wagers or processes conversions of currency or cashless wagering instruments must be connected to an on-line monitoring system. The on-line monitoring system must record all transactions processed by the electronic gaming equipment and provide acceptable reporting as required by the executive director.
(C) Electronic gaming equipment must support a port and protocol, referred to as game authentication terminal (GAT), for gaming equipment verification, unless otherwise approved in writing by the executive director. Electronic gaming equipment must:
(1) Employ a verification mechanism that authenticates all CPSM. The verification mechanism must:
(a) Be accessible by a communication port and the GAT protocol;
(b) Provide on-demand verification of electronic gaming equipment CPSM. This function will not require the electronic gaming equipment power to be cycled;
(c) Generate a unique signature for each CPSM utilizing, at a minimum, secure hashing algorithm-1 (SHA-1) with hash-based message authentication code (HMAC), as defined by the "National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 180-4: Secure Hash Standard (March 2012);" and
(d) Provide support for escrowing verification results. Verification results must be preserved and retrievable pending a subsequent verification request or a loss of power; and
(2) Provide means for the use of third-party verification tools.
