1 4. The only player-activated machine which may be
2 utilized is a machine which dispenses instant lottery game
3 tickets following the insertion of a coin or currency by a
4 ticket purchaser. To be authorized a machine must: be under
5 the supervision and within the direct line of sight of the
6 lottery retailer to ensure that the machine is monitored and
7 only operated by persons at least 18 years of age; be capable
8 of being electronically deactivated by the retailer to
9 prohibit use by persons less than 18 years of age through the
10 use of a lockout device that maintains the machine's
11 deactivation for a period of no less than 5 minutes; and be
12 designed to prevent its use or conversion for use in any
13 manner other than the dispensing of instant lottery tickets.

14 such contract as may be specified in such contract may be
15 terminated by the department. This subsection shall be
16 construed broadly and liberally to achieve the ends of full
