Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 325:85-15-48 - Game interruption and resumption

After a program interruption (e.g., power down), the software shall be able to recover to the state it was in immediately prior to the interruption occurring and:

(1) If a Player Terminal is powered down while in an error condition, then upon restoring power, the error message shall be displayed and the Player Terminal shall remain locked-up. This is unless power-down is used as part of the error reset procedure, or if on power-up or door closure, the Player Terminal checks for the error condition and detects that the error is no longer in existence.

(2) Upon program resumption, the following procedures shall be performed as a minimum requirement:

(A) Any communications to an external device shall not begin until the program resumption routine, including self-tests, is completed successfully;

(B) Player Terminal control programs shall test themselves for possible corruption due to failure of the program storage media;

(C) The integrity of all critical memory shall be checked; and

(D) Games utilizing microprocessor-controlled mechanical displays (e.g., reels or wheels) shall re-spin automatically to display the last valid game's result when the play mode is re entered, and the reel positions have been altered.
