PURPOSE: This rule establishes procedures for controlling access to areas of Class B licensee facilities. (1) Secured areas shall include any area or location so designated by the licensee’s Internal Control System (ICS) or by the commission, including but not limited to: (A) Surveillance; (B) Areas housing critical information technology systems; (C) Cage; (D) Main bank/vault; (E) Slot maintenance rooms; (F) Electronic gaming devices (EGD) storage rooms; (G) Count room and cart storage room; (H) Pit; (I) Card and dice storage and inspection rooms; and (J) Any other area designated by the commission. (2) A security or area supervisor escort is required for any individual accessing a secured area, except for occupational licensees who work in that secured area at that property. Vendors, visitors, and other personnel who need access to the Management Information Systems (MIS) secured areas may be escorted by MIS personnel instead of the area supervisor or security. (3) Employees of non-gaming vendors that provide goods and services directly to Class B licensees and who require periodic access to public areas of the casino floor, or areas off the gaming floor open to all employees, may access these areas without an escort. (A) The Class B licensee shall be responsible for the conduct and actions of the vendor while unescorted on the licensed premises. (B) Vendors shall be required to report to security to obtain a vendor badge and sign the Visitor/Vendor Log indicating time in, time out, and the reason for their visit.
