Subject


The subject areas to be addressed in this rule are: the method of applying for a slot machine license, technical requirements and qualifications for licenses, procedures to test and technically evaluate slot machines, verifying and accounting for revenues, auditing, collection of taxes and fees, procedures for bond, procedures regarding maintenance of records, 85% minimum payout, minimum security standards, approval process for facilities based computer systems, monthly reports, occupational licensing, renewal of occupational licenses, occupational license fees, fingerprint rules, posting of signage, office space requirements, the compulsive gambling program, or any other rules required for the implementation of Chapter 551, Florida Statutes. The division will receive comments on the issues listed above. Participants should be prepared to discuss whether the rules for slot machine operations originally drafted by Broward County adequately address issues required by the statutory rule criteria contained in Chapter 551, Florida Statutes, or otherwise what are the best practices for the required rules. While these rules are currently being noticed as Chapter 61D-14, F.A.C., there may ultimately be a need to utilize other rule number chapters to adequately accommodate these rules.
