Kan. Admin. Regs. § 112-110-8 - Central computer system; general hardware specifications
(a) Each CCS shall
be a state-of-the-art, fault-tolerant, redundant, and high-availability system.
Any CCS may be configured in a duplex, triplex, or multiredundant
configuration. All computer system components and peripheral equipment,
including front-end communications processors, system printers, and tape
drives, shall be fault-tolerant and redundant and maintain high availability.
No performance degradation or loss of system functionality shall occur with the
failure of a single system component. The central computer system's storage
management solution shall provide fault tolerance and scalability.

or exceed the performance of any similar systems installed by North American
lotteries or gaming central control systems in casinos in the last three
years.

CCS shall not interfere with players, employees who require real-time
monitoring of security events, cashiers who handle financial transactions of
the electronic gaming machines, or attendants who service the EGM.

hours a day, seven days a week, with the database up and running. Off-hours

monitoring terminals at each facility, as approved by the commission, with at
least one terminal to be utilized by the commission. A monitoring terminal
shall be located at the commission headquarters.
(n) The responsibility to audit all lottery
gaming facility revenues shall rest with the commission. Each CCS supplier
shall provide a separate data feed that contains the original accounting data

separate data feed shall be approved by the commission.
