§ 1323. Central control computer system
(a) General rule.--To facilitate the auditing and security programs critical to the integrity of slot machine gaming in this Commonwealth, the department shall have overall control of slot machines, and all slot machine terminals shall be linked, at an appropriate time to be determined by the department, to a central control computer under the control of the department and accessible by the board to provide auditing program capacity and individual terminal information as approved by the department and shall include real-time information retrieval and terminal activation and disabling programs. The central control computer selected and employed by the department shall not unduly limit or favor the participation of a vendor or manufacturer of a slot machine as a result of the cost or difficulty of implementing the necessary program modifications to communicate with and link to the central control computer. The central control computer employed by the department shall provide:
(6) The delivery of a system that provides redundancy so that each component of the network will be capable of operating independently by the department if any component of the network, including the central control computer, fails or cannot be operated for any reason as determined by the department, and to assure that all transactional data is captured and secured. Costs associated with any computer system required by the department to operate at a licensed facility, whether independent or as part of the central control computer, shall be paid by the slot machine licensee. The computer system will be controlled by the department and accessible to the board.
(c) Initial acquisition of central control computer.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary and in order to facilitate the prompt implementation of this part, initial contracts entered into by the department for a central control computer, including any necessary computer hardware, software, licenses or related services shall not be subject to the provisions of 62 Pa.C.S. (relating to procurement). Contracts made pursuant to the provisions of this section shall not exceed five years.
(d) Resolution of contract disputes.--The process specified in 62 Pa.C.S. Ch. 17 Subch. B1 (relating to prelitigation resolution of controversies) shall be the sole means of resolution for controversies arising with respect to contracts executed under this section.
