Requires the Charitable Gaming Board to adopt regulations that create a system for ensuring the integrity of the management, operation, and conduct of instant bingo, pull tabs, and seal cards. The bill also requires the Board to adopt regulations that create a system that requires each electronic game of chance device approved by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to be connected to a central monitoring and audit system for the purpose of ensuring the integrity of such devices. The bill requires that such system provide the ability to audit and account for device revenues and distributions in a timely and accurate manner. The bill requires that each electronic game of chance device store certain specified information and that such information also be stored on a server, which shall be backed up at least once per day to an offsite storage facility controlled by the qualified organization. The bill provides that the regulations shall require that the server and offsite backup storage be accessible to the Board and employees of the Board and subject to third-party checks and validation as may be required by the Board.
