Authority: IC 4-33-4-3; IC 4-35-4-2; IC 4-35-4-3

Affected: IC 4-33; IC 4-35

Sec. 3. (a) Junket operators and junketeers shall at all times conduct themselves in a manner that does not compromise the integrity of gaming in Indiana, tarnish the image and reputation of the state of Indiana, or reflect poorly on an Indiana casino licensee or a registered junket operator. In making this determination, the commission may consider the following:

(1) Criminal records.

(2) Suspension of licenses, registration certificates, or their equivalent, or any other adverse actions in other jurisdictions.

(3) Business reputation.

(4) Associations with businesses and individuals.

(5) Compliance with gaming laws and regulations in Indiana and other jurisdictions.

(6) Any other factors as the commission deems appropriate.

(b) A certificate of registration does not create a property right, but is a revocable privilege granted by the state contingent upon continuing suitability for registration. If the commission determines that a registered junket operator or junketeer is no longer suitable, the commission may initiate a disciplinary action to revoke, restrict, suspend, or not renew the junket operator's or junketeer's certificate of registration or take such other action as the commission deems necessary.

(c) If the commission finds a registered junket operator or junketeer to be unsuitable, the registration of such registered junket operator or junketeer is thereupon canceled. A casino licensee shall, upon written notification of a finding of unsuitability, immediately terminate all relationships, direct or indirect, with such junket operator or junketeer. No determination of suitability of a junket operator or junketeer shall preclude a later determination by the commission of unsuitability.

(d) Junket operators and junketeers have a continuing duty to notify the commission of any change in information previously submitted to the commission. Written notification must be submitted within ten (10) calendar days of the change or the occurrence of the event.

(b) A random event has a given set of possible outcomes which has a given probability of occurrence called the distribution.

(c) Two (2) events are called independent if the following conditions exist:

(1) The outcome of one (1) event has no influence on the outcome of the other event.

(2) The outcome of one (1) event does not affect the distribution of another event.

(3) The random number generator produces numbers which are independently chosen without regard to any other symbol produced during that play. This test is the correlation test. Each pair of reels is considered random if they meet at least the ninety-nine percent (99%) confidence level using standard correlation analysis.

(4) Produces numbers which are chosen without reference to the series of outcomes in the previous game. This test is the serial correlation test. A reel stop position is considered random if it meets at least the ninety-nine percent (99%) confidence level using standard serial correlation analysis.
