Such information shall include data pertaining to family, habits, character, reputation, criminal history information, business activities, financial affairs, and business, professional and personal associates, covering at least the ten year period immediately preceding the filing of the application. Each applicant shall notify the commission of any civil judgments obtained against such applicant pertaining to antitrust or security regulation laws of the federal government, of this state or of any other state, jurisdiction, province or country. In addition, each applicant shall, upon request of the commission, produce letters of reference from law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction in the applicant's place of residence and principal place of business, which letters of reference shall indicate that such law enforcement agencies do not have any pertinent non-sealed information concerning the applicant, or if such law enforcement agency does have such information pertaining to the applicant, shall specify what that information is. If the applicant has been associated with gaming operations in any capacity, position or employment in a jurisdiction which permits such activity, the applicant shall, upon request of the commission, produce letters of reference from the gaming enforcement or control agency, which shall specify the experience of such agency with the applicant, his or her associates and his or her participation in the gaming operations of that jurisdiction; provided, however, that if no such letters are received from the appropriate law enforcement agencies within sixty days of the applicant's request therefor, the applicant may submit a statement under oath that he or she is or was during the period such activities were conducted in good standing with such gaming enforcement or control agency.
(c) Each applicant employed by a gaming facility licensee shall be a resident of the state prior to the issuance of a casino key employee license; provided, however, that upon petition by the holder of a license, the commission may waive this residency requirement for any applicant whose particular position will require him to be employed outside the state; and provided further that no applicant employed by a holding or intermediary company of a licensee shall be required to establish residency in this state.

Approved independent testing laboratories for commercial and video lottery gaming facilities:

• Gaming Laboratories International, LLC (GLI)

Video Lottery Terminals and Electronic Table Games: Similar in appearance to classic slot machines or as simulated classic table games, these terminals are linked to a centralized system maintained by the Gaming Commission that tracks the game play and earnings for each game.

• Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) have the same appearance as slot machines. VLTs must receive winning outcomes transmitted by the central system.

• Electronic Table Games (ETGs) offer video versions of popular casino games like roulette, craps, and baccarat. ETGs are capable of generating winning outcomes at each table.

Video lottery gaming operations began in 2004 at Saratoga Gaming & Raceway in Saratoga Springs and have since expanded to eight additional facilities. As of January 1, 2013, there were 17,213 such machines operating in New York State.

Indian Gaming: In 1988 Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act permitting federally recognized Indian tribes the ability to conduct gaming activities under certain circumstances. This law allows traditional Indian gaming, bingo, pull tabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, and certain card games on tribal land. However, it requires a Tribal/State compact for all other forms of gaming. Three tribes have lawful gaming in New York State:

• The Seneca Nation of Indians operate the Class III Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls, the Class III Seneca Allegany Casino, the Class III Seneca Buffalo Casino in Buffalo, and Class II bingo on both their Cattaraugus and Allegany Reservation lands

• The St. Regis Mohawks operate the Class II Mohawk Bingo Palace and the Class III Akwesasne Mohawk Casino, which also houses Class II poker games

• The Oneida Indian Nation of New York operates the Turning Stone Casino, which houses both Class II bingo and poker, as well as its Class III gaming operations.

The Gaming Commission maintains a constant twenty-four hour presence within the gaming facilities of the five Class III facilities to maintain the integrity of all activities conducted in regard to Class III gaming, and to insure the fair and honest operation of such gaming activities. Additionally, the State conducts background investigations on all employees of the casino and enterprises who conduct gaming related business with the casino to ensure their suitability. Pursuant to each Compact the State jointly regulates Class III gaming facilities with a Nation or Tribal Gaming Agency, respectively. Class II gaming activities, e.g., bingo, pull tabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, and certain card games, are regulated by the Tribe in conjunction with the National Indian Gaming Commission, although tribes, under certain circumstances, may self-regulate these activities.
