It includes the responsibility of Lottery retailers for the loss or damage of Lottery equipment. If the loss per occurrence is under $2,500, the retailer is responsible for the actual cost of replacing, repairing, or removing the equipment if they failed to exercise reasonable care, intentionally damaged or stole the equipment, or had a previous loss claim within the preceding twelve months. The document also governs the allocation and management of Video Lottery game terminals by the Oregon State Lottery. The Director of the Lottery has the discretion to allocate and reallocate the terminals among Video Lottery retailers based on factors such as availability, public access, and retailer sales.
