RESPONSE FROM NJ CASINO CONTROL COMMISSION

Archie:

"According to IGT's Compliance Officer, when Silver Strike tokens were offered in Atlantic City, they were dispensed from slot machines sold by Anchor Gaming. At the time, each slot machine dispensed a single denomination of Silver Strike tokens. Thereafter, Anchor was acquired by IGT, which redesigned the slot machines to offer more than one denomination of tokens. IGT did submit the redesigned machine for approval in New Jersey in 2004, but it was initially rejected by the Division of Gaming Enforcement because our regulations provide that only one denomination of prize token could be dispensed from a single hopper.
.

According to IGT, it initially questioned the rejection. However, it decided not to pursue the issue at that time because there was no interest from Atlantic City casino licensees in purchasing the machines.
.

If a regulation needed to be amended to allow the redesigned machines in Atlantic City, it should not be problematic as long as the slot machines could properly meter the respective denominations.
.

In sum, the Silver Strike slot machines that were previously offered in Atlantic City are still permitted. The redesigned machines may or may not require a regulatory amendment in order to be approved in New Jersey.
.
There would appear to be no reason why the Commission would be opposed adopting such an amendment if needed and requested, provided that the different denominations could be properly metered.
.

I hope this is responsive to your inquiry."
