Sec. 103.36  Additional records to be made and retained by casinos.

    (a) With respect to each deposit of funds, account opened or line of 
credit extended after the effective date of these regulations, a casino 
shall, at the time the funds are deposited, the account is opened or 
credit is extended, secure and maintain a record of the name, permanent 
address, and social security number of the person involved. Where the 
deposit, account or credit is in the names of two or more persons, the 
casino shall secure the name, permanent address, and social security 
number of each person having a financial interest in the deposit, 
account or line of credit. The name and address of such person shall be

made, account opened, or credit extended. The verification shall be made 
by examination of a document of the type described in Sec. 103.28, and 
the specific identifying information shall be recorded in the manner 
described in Sec. 103.28. In the event that a casino has been unable to 
secure the required social security number, it shall not be deemed to be 
in violation of this section if (1) it has made a reasonable effort to 
secure such number and (2) it maintains a list containing the names and 
permanent addresses of those persons from who it has been unable to 
obtain social security numbers and makes the names and addresses of 
those persons available to the Secretary upon request. Where a person is 
a nonresident alien, the casino shall also record the person's passport 
number or a description of some other government document used to verify 
his identity.
    (b) In addition, each casino shall retain either the original or a 
microfilm or other copy or reproduction of each of the following:
    (1) A record of each receipt (including but not limited to funds for 
safekeeping or front money) of funds by the casino for the account 
(credit or deposit) of any person. The record shall include the name, 
permanent address and social security number of the person from whom the 
funds were received, as well as the date and amount of the funds 
received. If the person from whom the funds were received is a non-
resident alien, the person's passport number or a description of some 
other government document used to verify the person's identity shall be 
obtained and recorded;
    (2) A record of each bookkeeping entry comprising a debit or credit 
to a customer's deposit account or credit account with the casino;
    (3) Each statement, ledger card or other record of each deposit 
account or credit account with the casino, showing each transaction 
(including deposits, receipts, withdrawals, disbursements or transfers) 
in or with respect to, a customer's deposit account or credit account 
with the casino;
    (4) A record of each extension of credit in excess of $2,500, the 
terms and conditions of such extension of credit, and repayments. The 
record shall include the customer's name, permanent address, social 
security number, and the date and amount of the transaction (including 
repayments). If the customer or person for whom the credit extended is a 
non-resident alien, his passport number or description of some other 
government document used to verify his identity shall be obtained and 
recorded;
    (5) A record of each advice, request or instruction received or 
given by the casino for itself or another person with respect to a 
transaction involving a person, account or place outside the United 
States (including but not limited to communications by wire, letter, or 
telephone). If the transfer outside the United States is on behalf of a 
third party, the record shall include the third party's name, permanent 
address, social security number, signature, and the date and amount of 
the transaction. If the transfer is received from outside the United 
States on behalf of a third party, the record shall include the third 
party's name, permanent address, social security number, signature, and 
the date and amount of the transaction. If the person for whom the 
transaction is being made is a non-resident alien the record shall also 
include the person's name, his passport number or a description of some 
other government document used to verify his identity;
    (6) Records prepared or received by the casino in the ordinary 
course of business which would be needed to reconstruct a person's 
deposit account or credit account with the casino or to trace a check 
deposited with the casino through the casino's records to the bank of 
deposit;
    (7) All records, documents or manuals required to be maintained by a 
casino under state and local laws or regulations, regulations of any 
governing Indian tribe or tribal government, or terms of (or any 
regulations issued under) any Tribal-State compacts entered into 
pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, with respect to the casino 
in question.
    (8) All records which are prepared or used by a casino to monitor a 
customer's gaming activity.

for any period of time, any record required to be maintained by 
Sec. 103.33 or this section on computer disk, tape, or other machine-
readable media shall retain the same on computer disk, tape, or machine-
readable media.
    (2) All indexes, books, programs, record layouts, manuals, formats, 
instructions, file descriptions, and similar materials which would 
enable a person readily to access and review the records that are 
described in Sec. 103.33 and this section and that are input, stored, or 
retained on computer disk, tape, or other machine-readable media shall 
be retained for the period of time such records are required to be
