Commission votes to file two proposed rule changes raising video and PTZ thresholds from $3,000 to $5,000 for further discussion
Summary
Commissioners voted to file two rulemaking proposals for further discussion: one to raise the pan‑tilt‑zoom camera verification threshold and another to raise the 30‑day jackpot video retention threshold from $3,000 to $5,000; both filings were recommended by staff and the petitioner on one item.
Staff presented two related proposed rule changes arising from a petitioner request and staff recommendation to align surveillance verification and video-retention thresholds. The first petition (from Eugene Freer) asks to amend WAC 230-15-320 to increase the price threshold that requires pan‑tilt‑zoom camera verification of winning hands and payouts from $3,000 to $5,000; staff recommended filing draft language for further discussion.
The second staff proposal would amend WAC 230-15-319 to raise the 30‑day retention threshold for jackpot payout video from $3,000 to $5,000 so that camera and retention rules remain consistent and avoid operator confusion. Commissioners moved and voted to file both rule proposals for further discussion; both motions passed.
One commissioner formally moved to "file for further discussion" on the PTZ-camera threshold and another moved to "file further discussion" on the video-retention rule; votes were recorded as "Aye," and staff will proceed with rulemaking next steps and stakeholder engagement.
