(b) An electronic pull tab device may incorporate an attached bill validator, which must be constructed to ensure proper handling of inputs that protect against vandalism, abuse, or fraudulent activity. A bill validator may only accept United States paper currency or a valid credit voucher to initiate play.

(c) A player may redeem a credit voucher by inserting it into a redemption kiosk or exchanging it for currency with an operator assigned to this gaming function. Credit vouchers must be redeemed at the same facility or location where they are awarded.

(d) A jackpot credit voucher may only be redeemed at a redemption kiosk if the redemption kiosk has a built-in method to collect and securely store the information required by 68 IAC 21-10-9(g) or the redemption kiosk requires a code or password to be entered before the jackpot credit voucher is redeemed to allow for the information collection and identity verification required by 68 IAC 21-10-9(g). Otherwise, a jackpot credit voucher may not be redeemed through a redemption kiosk, and may only be redeemed in person, to allow for the information collection and identity verification required by 68 IAC 21-10-9(g).

(e) A redemption kiosk used in conjunction with an electronic pull tab system is part of the electronic pull tab system for the purpose of certification testing under section 4 of this rule. A redemption kiosk may only offer functionality to redeem credit vouchers obtained from an electronic pull tab device of the qualified organization where the redemption kiosk is located.

(f) A qualified organization is solely responsible for filling and maintaining currency in a redemption kiosk at its facility or location. Only an operator of the qualified organization may fill and maintain currency in a redemption kiosk.

(g) A bill validator attached to an electronic pull tab device or a redemption kiosk must contain processes and methods to detect and avoid counterfeit currency. Distributors of devices that contain bill validators must ensure that hardware and software responsible for these methods and processes are not obsolete. Distributors of such devices are responsible for the timely updating of hardware and software used for this purpose.
