N.M. Code R. § 15.1.9.16 – Gaming Media Testing and Duplication

A. Gaming media shall not be duplicated except with board approval, unless the person seeking to duplicate the program is a licensed manufacturer. In either case, the licensee shall ensure compliance with all applicable federal copyright laws. Approval by the board to duplicate game program gaming media does not constitute an opinion as to such compliance.
B. The licensee shall develop and maintain procedures for each of the following:
1. (1) removal of gaming media from devices, verification of the existence of errors, and correction of errors by duplication from the master game program;
2. (2) copying one gaming device program to another approved program;
3. (3) verification of duplicated gaming media with electrical failures;
4. (4) destruction, as needed, of gaming media with electrical failures or physical damage; and
5. (5) securing the gaming media duplicator and master game gaming media from unrestricted access.
C. Records shall be maintained documenting the procedures described in 15.1.9.16 NMAC. The records include the date, gaming machine number for both source and destination machines, manufacturer, program number, personnel involved, reason for duplication, disposition of any permanent gaming media, and lab approval number.
D. Gaming media returned to gaming devices shall include the date and information that is identical to that shown on the manufacturer’s label.
