74-8750. Examination and certification of electronic gaming machines, lottery facility games; confiscation of certain machines. (a) Each specific type of electronic gaming machine and lottery facility game shall be approved by the Kansas racing and gaming commission. The Kansas racing and gaming commission shall examine prototypes of electronic gaming machines and lottery facility games and shall notify the lottery gaming facility manager or racetrack gaming facility manager which types of electronic gaming machines or lottery facility games are in compliance with the requirements of this act. The use of progressive electronic gaming machines is expressly permitted.

(b) No electronic gaming machine or lottery facility game shall be operated pursuant to this act unless the executive director of the racing and gaming commission first issues a certificate for such machine or game authorizing its use at a specified location. Each electronic gaming machine and lottery facility game shall have such certificate prominently displayed thereon. Any electronic gaming machine or lottery facility game which does not display the certificate required by this section is contraband and a public nuisance subject to confiscation by any law enforcement officer.

(c) The executive director of the racing and gaming commission shall require any manufacturer, supplier, provider, lottery gaming facility manager, racetrack gaming facility manager or other person seeking the examination and certification of electronic gaming machines or lottery facility games to pay the anticipated actual costs of the examination in advance. After the completion of the examination, the executive director of the Kansas racing and gaming commission shall refund any overpayment or charge and collect amounts sufficient to reimburse the executive director for any underpayment of actual costs. The executive director of the Kansas racing and gaming commission may contract for the examination of electronic gaming machines and lottery facility games required by this section, and may rely upon testing done by or for other states regulating electronic gaming machines or lottery facility games, if the executive director deems such testing to be reliable and in the best interest of the state of Kansas.

(d) The executive director of the Kansas lottery or the executive director of the Kansas racing and gaming commission may remove from play and confiscate any electronic gaming machine or gray machine that does not comply with the requirements of the Kansas expanded lottery act. Any electronic gaming machine that the executive director or the executive director of the racing and gaming commission determines has been modified or the design of which has been modified without the consent of the executive director of the Kansas lottery may be removed from play, confiscated by either such executive director and disposed of in any manner allowed by law.
