The South Dakota Lottery may not make credit adjustments until an accounting discrepancy is settled.

To address a discrepancy, the operator shall submit to the South Dakota Lottery the maintenance log that includes current mechanical meter readings and the audit ticket that contains electronic meter readings generated by the machine's software for each machine that reflects a discrepancy. If the meter readings and the South Dakota Lottery's records cannot be reconciled, the discrepancies must be resolved in favor of the state.

The electronic accounting meters may only be cleared upon notification to and approval from the South Dakota Lottery. Electronic accounting meters may only be cleared by a manufacturer, a Type II technician, or the South Dakota Lottery.
