transmitted to the casino hotel during permitted hours of casino operation. (3) Any authorized game, as defined in section 5 of P.L.1977, c. 110 ( C.5:12-5 ), other than slot machines may be conducted in a simulcasting facility subject to
the rules and regulations of the Division of Gaming Enforcement. (4) The security measures for a simulcasting facility shall include the installation

licensee in a simulcasting facility, whether employed by the casino licensee or by
a person or entity conducting casino simulcasting in the simulcasting facility pursuant
to an agreement with the casino licensee and all other employees of the casino licensee
or of the person or entity conducting casino simulcasting who are working in the simulcasting

first preference for employment whenever any comparable position becomes available
in any casino simulcasting facility, provided the person is qualified pursuant to
this subsection. If a casino licensee enters into an agreement with a person or entity for the conduct
of casino simulcasting in its simulcasting facility, the agreement shall include the
requirement that such first preference in employment shall be given by the person
or entity with respect to employment in the simulcasting facility. c. A casino licensee which establishes a simulcasting facility and conducts casino
simulcasting shall, as a condition of continued operation of casino simulcasting,
