Machine Repair

Machine Repair. (a) After the Commission approves the software and logic board of a machine, it will use the prescribed security seal process to guard against any unauthorized tampering or changes. (b) The Commission may require and provide an identification sticker to be attached to the logic board and the mechanical meters to verify the parts are assigned to a specific permitted machine. (c) No security seal shall be broken except when authorized by the Commission and only in the presence of Commission personnel. (d) Any repair or replacement of a machine's mechanical meter or logic board which requires the breaking of the security seal shall be reported to the Commission. An agent must be present before the seal is broken and the Commission must have an agent present during the breaking of the security seal. At that time, readings of the machine's electronic and/or mechanical meters must be recorded by an agent of the Commission and the initial readings of the electronic and/or mechanical meters shall be recorded by an agent of the Commission before the machine is again placed in operation. (e) Agents of the Commission shall be given access to the machine to reseal the meters and verify proper operation before the machine can be returned to or placed back in operation. (f) To assure the integrity, security, and monitoring of machines in service, a permitted machine or any portion thereof may not be substituted or replaced until the replacement machine has been approved/permitted by the Commission.
