(a) Whenever a patron wins a jackpot that is not totally and automatically paid directly from the slot machine, a jackpot payout slip shall be prepared. Whenever a Slot Attendant or Slot Supervisor requests a hopper fill, a hopper fill slip shall be prepared.

(b) When voiding a jackpot payout or hopper fill transaction, all parts of the slip shall indicate the reason for the void and shall be marked VOID diagonally. The signature of the preparer and the Slot Supervisor voiding the slip must also be written diagonally. Voided jackpot payout and hopper fill slips must be forwarded to Accounting for retention and accountability. Voided adjustments in the computerized system shall be performed by Accounting.

(c) Manual jackpot payout and hopper fill slips shall be sequentially pre-numbered forms. Each series of jackpot payout or hopper fill slips shall be a three-part form and shall be inserted in a dispenser that shall be locked. The dispenser will permit an individual slip in the series and its copies to be written upon simultaneously while still in the dispenser and will discharge the original and duplicate while the triplicate remains in the dispenser. The receipt of manual jackpot payout and hopper fill slips from the printing company must be recorded in a log, and Accounting must reconcile the log to the purchase invoice. The unused supply of forms will be locked and secured with access limited to Security or Accounting employees. Security or Accounting employees must be responsible for placing and removing the forms in/out of the dispenser. All parts of each series for manual jackpot payout or hopper fill slips, used and unused shall be accounted for by Accounting employees.
