§ 3302. Regulatory authority of board
(1) To deny, deny the renewal of, revoke, condition or suspend a license or permit provided for in this part if the board finds in its sole discretion that an applicant, licensee or permittee under this part or its officers, employees or agents have furnished false or misleading information to the board or failed to comply with the provisions of this part or the rules and regulations of the board and that it would be in the public interest to deny, deny the renewal of, revoke, condition or suspend the license or permit.
(8) To require that no video gaming terminal may be set to pay out less than the theoretical payout percentage, which percentage shall be no less than 85%, as specifically approved by the board. The board shall adopt regulations that define the theoretical payout percentage of a video gaming terminal game based on the total value of the jackpots expected to be paid by a play on a video gaming terminal game divided by the total value of video gaming terminals wagers expected to be made on that play or video gaming terminal game during the same portion of the game cycle. In so doing, the board shall specify whether the calculation includes a portion of or the entire cycle of a video gaming terminal game.
(9) To require that an establishment license applicant provide detailed site plans of its proposed video gaming area for review and approval by the board for the purpose of determining the adequacy of the proposed security and surveillance measures. The applicant shall cooperate with the board in making changes to the plans suggested by the board and shall ensure that the plans as modified and approved are implemented. The board may not require a floor-to-ceiling wall to segregate the video gaming area, but may adopt rules to establish segregation requirements.
(10) To promulgate rules and regulations governing the advertisement of video gaming terminals, provided that the board shall require all advertisements to display or reference the toll-free problem gambling telephone number maintained by the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs or successor agency under section 3310(b) (relating to duties of Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs or successor agency).
(12) To adopt regulations governing the postemployment limitations and restrictions applicable to members and employees of the board subject to section 4302 (relating to additional board restrictions). In developing the regulations, the board may consult with the State Ethics Commission, governmental agencies and the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court regarding postemployment limitations and restrictions on members and employees of the board who are members of the Pennsylvania Bar.
(b) Applicable law.--Except as provided in section 3303 (relating to temporary regulations), regulations shall be adopted in accordance with the act of July 31, 1968 (P.L. 769, No. 240),1 referred to as the Commonwealth Documents Law, and the act of June 25, 1982 (P.L. 633, No. 181),2 known as the Regulatory Review Act.
