Testing poker machines during closure periods

Published:

Venue operators may test poker machines during mandatory closure periods(opens in a new window) (4–10 am daily), but must ensure that no gameplay occurs outside the permitted hours of operation.

Poker machine tests that can occur without gameplay include:

  • coin in validation test
  • coin hopper test
  • banknote acceptor validation test
  • door operational test.

Tests should be performed in test/diagnostic mode, as performing them in game-enabled mode will cause meter movements e.g. cash in and cancel credits.
