Section 5316.19 - Voucher validation

(a) Payment by voucher printer. Payment by voucher printer as a method of credit redemption shall be permissible only when:

(1) a kiosk is linked to a computerized voucher validation system that allows validation of the printed voucher. Validation approval or information shall come from the voucher-validation system in order to validate vouchers. Vouchers may be validated at any location, so long as such validation meets the requirements set forth in this section. Provisions shall be made if communication is lost and validation information cannot be sent to the validation system, thereby requiring the manufacturer to have an alternate method of payment. The validation system shall be able to identify duplicate vouchers to prevent fraud by reprinting and redeeming a voucher that had been issued; or

(2) by use of an approved alternative method that includes the ability to identify duplicate vouchers to prevent fraud by reprinting and redeeming a voucher that had been issued.

(b) Voucher information. A voucher produced by a kiosk shall contain, at a minimum, the following printed information:

(1) gaming facility name/site identifier (it is permissible for this information to be contained on the voucher stock itself);

(2) kiosk identification number;

(3) date and time (24-hour format that is understood by the local date/time format);

(4) alpha and numeric currency amount of the voucher;

(5) voucher sequence number;

(6) validation number (including a copy of the validation number on the leading edge of the voucher);

(7) bar code or any machine readable code representing the validation number;

(8) type of transaction or other method of differentiating voucher types (assuming multiple voucher types are available). Additionally, whenever the voucher type itself is a non-cashable item and/or just a receipt, the voucher explicitly shall express that it has no cash value;

(9) indication of an expiration period from date of issue, or date and time the voucher will expire (24-hour format that is understood by the local date/time format). It is permissible for such information to be contained on the voucher stock itself (e.g., "Expires in one year"); and

(10) if offline voucher issuance is supported, an offline authentication identifier shall, at a minimum, be printed on the immediate next line following the leading edge validation number that in no way overwrites, or otherwise compromises, the printing of the validation number on the voucher (not required for vouchers that are non-redeemable at a gaming device). The offline authentication identifier shall be derived by a hash, or other secure encryption method of at least 128 bits, that uniquely will identify the voucher, verify that the redeeming system was also the issuing system and validate the amount of the voucher. Where a suitable authentication identifier is not printed on the voucher, the kiosk shall print, at most, one wagering instrument after the kiosk-to-validation-system communication has been lost.

(c) Validation number or barcode. Information set forth in subdivision (b) of this section is permitted to be part of the validation number or barcode. Multiple barcodes are permitted and may represent more than just the validation number.
