Any person within the state of Colorado receiving a slot machine shall, upon receipt of the machine, provide to the Colorado limited gaming control commission upon a form available from the commission information showing at a minimum the location of each machine, its serial number, and description. The report shall be provided regardless of whether the machine is received from a manufacturer or any other person.

Any slot machine that is not in compliance with article 30 of title 44 is declared contraband and may be summarily seized and destroyed after notice and hearing.
Slot machines which because of age and condition bear no manufacturer serial number shall be assigned a serial number by a remanufacturer of slot machines. Such new serial number shall be duly recorded as required by federal regulations.
The director of the division of gaming appointed pursuant to section 44-30-201 mayapprove a change to the registration of a slot machine under circumstances constituting an emergency. If said director approves an emergency change, the registration of the slot machine shall not be suspended pending the filing of a supplemental application.
