What is the MEAL book?

[Julio88]

The MEAL book (or Machine entry authorization log book) is a log that keeps track of an employee's entries into a slot machine. It is typically a physical book or card that includes information like the date and time of entry, the employee's name and employee ID number, the machine number, and the amount of money or credits involved. The purpose of the MEAL book is to provide a record of all transactions, to ensure that everything is above board and compliant with regulations, and to serve as a backup in case of disputes or discrepancies.

The MEAL book, or "Minimum Internal Control Standards for Gaming Devices" is a document published by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. It outlines the minimum standards that must be met by gaming devices, including slot machines, to ensure fair play. The standards cover everything from the physical construction of the device to the software and algorithms used to generate random numbers.
