Section 5319.50 - Multiple games on the gaming device; selection of game for display

(a) A multi-game is a game that simultaneously can be configured for use with multiple themes and/or multiple pay tables.

(b) The methodology employed by a player to select a particular game for play on a multi-game gaming device shall be explained clearly to the player on such gaming device and be capable of being followed easily.

(c) A gaming device shall have a means to inform clearly the player of all games, their rules and/or their pay tables, before such player shall commit to playing such games.

(d) A player shall at all times be made aware of which game theme has been selected for play and is being played, as applicable.

(e) When multiple game themes are offered for play, a player shall not be forced to play a particular game unless the game screen clearly indicates the game selection is unchangeable. If not disclosed, a player shall be able to return to the main menu.

(f) It shall not be possible to select or start a new game before the current play is completed and all relevant meters have been updated, including features, gamble and other options of the game, unless the action to start a new game terminates the current play in an orderly manner.

(g) The set of games or the pay table or tables offered to the player for selection may be changed only by a secure certified method that includes turning on and off games available for play. The rules set forth in subdivision (d) of section 5319.10 of this Part, in regard to configuration settings, shall govern the NV-memory-clear-control requirements for these types of selections. When a pay table is turned off, an NV-memory-clear is not required so long as the gaming device keeps the data of the previous pay table (in memory.

(h) No changes to the set of games or to the pay table or tables offered to the player for selection are permitted while there are credits on such player's credit meter or while a game is in progress, notwithstanding specific protocol features that might have allowed such changes to be made in a controlled fashion.
