Unlicensed Games Or Devices

Unlicensed Games Or Devices. (a) No gambling games shall be operated upon the premises of a licensee, nor shall a licensee expose in an area accessible to the public any game, or gaming device which may be used in the operation of a gambling game without first having paid all current fees and taxes applicable to such games. (b) Whenever a licensee desires to temporarily remove or suspend a game from a licensed status, the licensee shall provide advanced written notice to the Executive Director stating the type and number of games sought to be suspended, the initial date and duration of the proposed suspension, and in addition to such notice, the licensee shall thereafter physically remove the game or gaming device from any area exposed to the public; provided, however, a game or gaming device may remain in a public area while in an unlicensed status if the licensee, in addition to the foregoing written notification, removes from the game or gaming device all detachable fixtures such as drop boxes, chip racks, wheelheads, cages, and other similar removable items, and also covers any nondetachable chip rack and any chip rack space with a device capable of being locked and sealed in place; thereafter, the game or gaming device shall be inspected and sealed by the Executive Director and allowed to remain in a public area. (c) Before any game or gaming device suspended from a licensed status in accordance with the foregoing procedure may be reactivated and placed into play, the licensee shall advise the Executive Director in writing of its intention and date to reactivate such game, and pay all fees and taxes applicable to said game, and upon the Executive Director's reinspection of any game or gaming device previously sealed, the game or gaming device may be exposed to play.
