Filed as: Video Lottery Rule Updates
Video lottery operators now have the authority to sell their approved machines to other licensed operators, and the Executive Director (rather than the commission) gains power to suspend, revoke, or deny licenses for rule violations. Technician training and testing can now be conducted online or at locations outside South Dakota, eliminating the requirement that operators maintain written maintenance logs in each machine. Players must redeem ticket voucher credits before the close of business day (not by midnight on the day printed), and the minimum test period for new game software has been shortened from 60 days to 21 days.

The effect of the rules are to provide the Executive Director the authority to suspend, revoke, or deny video lottery licenses; to clarify a minimum test period for new video lottery game software; permit online training and testing for video lottery technicians, eliminate log book requirements, clarify that ticket voucher credits must be redeemed by the close of the business day, and permit the sale of video lottery machines between operators. The reason for adopting the proposed rules is to increase efficiencies in the video lottery program and to provide greater clarity in the rules.
