Are the results of the variance investigation, including the

documented in the appropriate report and retained? Slots
MICS #133
Notes:
The results shall also include any corrective action taken
(e.g., meter replaced, interface component repaired,
software debugged, etc.).
Material attendant payout variances noted may be due to an
attendant paid progressive jackpot payout amount or widearea progressive payout amount not being recorded on the
gaming device attendant paid progressive payout meter.
The gaming device attendant paid progressive payout meter
may not have the capability to obtain the dollar amount of the
progressive amount displayed on the progressive sign. If the
variance is due to a progressive jackpot payout the
investigation should include the review of the daily
progressive payoff dollar amounts recorded pursuant to
Regulation 5.110 to determine that the decrease is
reasonably equivalent to the actual progressive jackpot
payout dollar amount. For a wide-area progressive payout
the investigation should include the review of the report of
payouts from the operator of the wide-area progressive
system.

(c) Dollar amount of cash payout or slot fill (both alpha and

Note: Alpha is optional if another unalterable method is used

(e) Signatures of at least two employees verifying and
witnessing the payout or fill.
Note: For approved computerized slot payout systems that
initiate, validate, and print the dollar amount of the jackpot
payout on the computer-generated form, only one employee
signature verifying and witnessing the jackpot payout is
required on the payout form for a jackpot payout amount of
less than $1,200. For jackpot payouts of $1,200 or more and
in other situations that allow an employee to input or change

only one individual is required to witness, verify, and
complete the jackpot payout transaction when the computer

Note: A payout receipt system issues a receipt/report for
cancelled credits that may not be rewagered and
therefore is not a cashless wagering system. Some
