Title 20 - PUBLIC SAFETY
Article 20:18 - GAMING COMMISSION - DEADWOOD GAMBLING
Chapter 20:18:12.01 - Operation of gaming establishments
Section 20:18:12.01:05 - Unlicensed games or devices

If a licensee desires to suspend a game from a licensed status, the licensee must provide advanced written notice to the executive secretary stating the type and number of games sought to be suspended and the initial date and duration of the proposed suspension. The licensee must thereafter physically remove the gaming device from an area exposed to the public.

A gaming device may remain in a public area while it is licensed if the licensee removes from the gaming device all detachable fixtures such as drop boxes, chip racks, and other similar removable items or covers any nondetachable chip rack and any chip rack space with a device capable of being locked and sealed in place. The gaming device must be inspected and sealed by the executive secretary or a designee before it is allowed to remain in a public area.

Before any game or gaming device suspended from a licensed status may be reactivated and placed into play, the licensee must advise the executive secretary in writing of the licensee's intention and pay all fees and taxes applicable to the game. After the reinspection and unsealing of a gaming device previously sealed, the game may be exposed for play.
