NRS463.655. Effect of determination that manufacturer or distributor is unsuitable to hold license.

  If the Commission determines that a manufacturer or distributor is unsuitable to receive or hold a license:

      1.  No new gaming device or associated equipment manufactured by the manufacturer or distributed by the distributor may be approved;

      2.  Any previously approved device or associated equipment manufactured by the manufacturer or distributed by the distributor is subject to revocation of approval if the reasons for the denial of the license also apply to that device or associated equipment;

      3.  No new device or associated equipment manufactured by the manufacturer or distributed by the distributor may be sold, transferred or offered for use or play in Nevada; and

      4.  Any association or agreement between the manufacturer or distributor and a licensee must be terminated, unless otherwise provided by the Commission. An agreement between such a manufacturer or distributor of gaming devices or associated equipment and a licensee shall be deemed to include a provision for its termination without liability on the part of the licensee upon a finding by the Commission that the manufacturer is unsuitable to be associated with a gaming enterprise. Failure to include that condition in the agreement is not a defense in any action brought pursuant to this section to terminate the agreement.

      5.  Failure of a licensee to terminate any association or agreement with a manufacturer or distributor of gaming devices or associated equipment after receiving notice of a determination of unsuitability, the denial of a license or failure to file a timely application for a license is an unsuitable method of operation.
