Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Regulatory Compliance - Multimedia games and National Indian Gaming Commission
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
REGARDING REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
BETWEEN MULTIMEDIA GAMES AND
THE NATIONAL INDIAN GAMING COMMISSION
Whereas, Multimedia Games (MGAM) and the National Indian Gaming
Commission (NIGC) have jointly undertaken a process to resolve concerns as to
whether Multimedia Games' MegaMania game is in full compliance with the Class
II requirements of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and NIGC regulations;
Whereas, MGAM has agreed to and has undertaken to comply with all of the
changes to the MegaMania game requested in the NIGC's letter of March 28, 1997;
Whereas, the NIGC has determined in its letter of April 8, 1997, that,
following implementation of the changes described in that letter and in this
agreement, MegaMania is a Class II game;
Now, therefore, in order to establish efficient procedures for resolving
concerns as to that compliance, MGAM and the NIGC agree to the following:
1. The proposed modifications to MegaMania are: 1) Numbers or
objects will be drawn from a bingo blower, rather than from a random number
generator; 2) An act will be required by the card holder to daub the cards,
after the numbers or objects are identified, rather than the present fully
automatic system; 3) An act will be required by the card holder to indicate a
bingo to win, replacing the present fully automatic system; and 4) the present
2 of 3 and 3 of 3 shotgun bingo game will be replaced by the four corners bingo
game.
2. MGAM will implement the changes to the MegaMania game according
to the following schedule:

for technical reasons, or reasons, beyond the control of MGAM, these deadlines
cannot be met, MGAM agrees to explain in writing immediately the reasons for
the delay in completion of the changes. The NIGC may grant such extensions as
it may deem appropriate. MGAM shall provide weekly written reports on the
status of its implementation of the changes.
3. The NIGC will not issue a Notice of Violation, Civil Fine or
Temporary Closure Order during the pendency of the changes to the MegaMania
game.
