PENNSYLVANIA GAMING CONTROL BOARD

[ 58 PA. CODE CH. 525 ]

Table Game Internal Controls; Temporary Regulations

[40 Pa.B. 3116]
[Saturday, June 12, 2010]

 The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (Board), under its general authority in 4 Pa.C.S. § 1303A (relating to temporary table game regulations) enacted by the act of January 7, 2010 (Act 1) and the specific authority in 4 Pa.C.S. §§ 1302A(2.1) and (4) and 1325A (relating to regulatory authority; and table game accounting controls and audit protocols), adopts temporary regulations in Chapter 525 (relating to table game internal controls) to read as set forth in Annex A. The Board's temporary regulations will be added to Part VII (relating to Gaming Control Board) as part of Subpart K (relating to table games).

Purpose of the Temporary Rulemaking

 This temporary rulemaking adds additional sections to Chapter 525 regarding drop boxes and the conduct of the drop and count for table games.

Explanation of Chapter 525

 Section 525.17 (relating to table game drop boxes), requires that each gaming table have an attached table game drop box. This section also contains the technical standards for drop boxes, labeling requirements for drop boxes and that one of the keys to open the drop box be maintained and controlled by the Board's casino compliance representatives.

 Section 525.18 (relating to transport of table game drop boxes to and from gaming tables) contains the procedures that must be followed during the normal drop process. These procedures cover who is involved in the drop, who controls the keys required for the drop and the verification that all drop boxes that are supposed to be dropped have been dropped. This section also sets forth the requirements regarding the use and storage of emergency drop boxes which are used when a drop box must be exchanged outside of the normal drop process.

 Section 525.19 (relating to procedures for opening, counting and recording the contents of table game drop boxes) sets forth the requirements and procedures that apply to the count process. This section specifies who may be present in the count room, the procedures for opening the drop boxes and counting and recording the contents of the drop boxes, the role of the Board's casino compliance representatives, the completion of the Daily Table Game Count Report and the process for transferring all cash, gaming vouchers, gaming chips, Poker rake chips and Counter Checks to the main bank.

 Section 525.20 (relating to alternate procedures for collecting, distributing, opening, counting and recording the contents of nonbanking table game drop boxes) gives certificate holders the option of establishing separate procedures for the collection, distribution, opening, counting and recording the contents of table game drop boxes attached to Poker tables. This is because these drop boxes will only contain value chips and Poker rake chips, making the count procedures and related reporting requirements much simpler.

Affected Parties

 Slot machine licensees who elect to become certificate holders will be required to modify and expand their existing internal controls to meet the additional requirements in this temporary rulemaking.

 The Board will experience increased regulatory demands to review the new and revised internal controls regarding table games that are submitted by the certificate holders.

Fiscal Impact

Commonwealth

 The Board will have to review each certificate holder's initial table games internal control submissions and any subsequent amendments thereto. These reviews will be conducted by existing Bureau of Gaming Operations staff so the Board does not project that it will incur any significant cost increases as a result of this temporary rulemaking.

Political subdivisions

 This temporary rulemaking will not have direct fiscal impact on political subdivisions of this Commonwealth. Eventually, host municipalities and counties will benefit from the local share funding that is mandated by Act 1.

Private sector

 This temporary rulemaking will result in additional costs for slot machine licensees who elect to become certificate holders. More specifically, certificate holders will be required to revise and expand the scope of their internal controls to cover table games operations. All of the internal control revisions required by this and other rulemakings related to internal controls could cost between $20,000 and $50,000 per certificate holder to prepare depending on the scope of the revisions and if the revisions are prepared internally or by outside consultants.

General public

 This temporary rulemaking will have no direct fiscal impact on the general public.

Paperwork Requirements

 This temporary rulemaking will require certificate holders to draft, and submit to the Board for its approval, revised internal controls.

Effective Date

 This temporary rulemaking will become effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

Public Comments

 While this temporary rulemaking will be effective upon publication, the Board is seeking comments from the public and affected parties as to how this temporary regulation might be improved. Interested persons are invited to submit written comments, suggestions or objections regarding this temporary rulemaking within 30 days after the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin to Richard Sandusky, Director of Regulatory Review, Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, P. O. Box 69060, Harrisburg, PA 17106-9060, Attention: Public Comment on Regulation #125-121.

Contact Person

 The contact person for questions about this temporary rulemaking is Richard Sandusky, Director of Regulatory Review, (717) 214-8111.

Regulatory Review

 Under 4 Pa.C.S. § 1303A, the Board is authorized to adopt temporary regulations which are not subject to the provisions of sections 201—205 of the act of July 31, 1968 (P. L. 769, No. 240) (45 P. S. §§ 1201—1208), known as the Commonwealth Documents Law (CDL), the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. §§ 745.1—745.12); and sections 204(b) and 301(10) of the Commonwealth Attorneys Act (71 P. S. §§ 732-204(b) and 732-301(10)). These temporary regulations expire 2 years after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

Findings

 The Board finds that:

 (1) Under 4 Pa.C.S. § 1303A, the temporary regulations are exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Review Act, sections 201—205 of the CDL and sections 204(b) and 301(10) of the Commonwealth Attorney's Act.

 (2) The adoption of the temporary regulations is necessary and appropriate for the administration and enforcement of 4 Pa.C.S. Part II (relating to gaming).

Order

 The Board, acting under 4 Pa.C.S. Part II, orders that:

 (1) The regulations of the Board, 58 Pa. Code Chapter 525, are amended by adding §§ 525.17—525.20 to read as set forth in Annex A.

 (2) The temporary regulations are effective June 12, 2010.

 (3) The temporary regulations will be posted on the Board's web site and published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 (4) The temporary regulations shall be subject to amendment as deemed necessary by the Board.

 (5) The Chairperson of the Board shall certify this order and Annex A and deposit them with the Legislative Reference Bureau as required by law.
