The sufficiency of the documentation is determined by the Commission and is final and not appealable. Any repaired or replacement instant bingo machines must comply with the technical standards provided under COMAR 36.07.06. Additionally, an instant bingo machine serving as a replacement may operate in the same manner as any machine that was in operation by the licensee on February 28, 2008.
