Florida PMW-3910 Slot Machine Shipment Inventory Guide

PMW-3910 is the item-level slot machine and component inventory attached to a Florida PMW-3900 shipment approval request. Each row must identify the regulated item precisely enough for the commission to match the approved shipment to actual devices, software, certifications, value, and purpose.

Who uses Florida PMW-3910?

  • The shipper or compliance team preparing a Florida slot machine shipment approval package.
  • Manufacturers, distributors, facilities, and receiving teams reconciling serial-controlled devices.
  • Commission staff reviewing game software, certification references, value, and shipment reason.

    Collect EPROM/game/paytable identifiers and laboratory certification references.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Putting a model number in the serial-number column due to the tight layout.
  • Reusing a certification reference after a software or paytable change.
  • Omitting page numbers on continuation inventories.
  • Listing bundled components as one row when separate regulated identifiers are required.
  • Failing to reconcile the inventory to PMW-3900 and the physical shipment.
  • Allowing long field values to clip invisibly in the PDF.

PDF technology note

Although the form is one page, it exposes roughly 436 text fields because each row repeats many columns. Batch mapping is efficient, but a rendered visual inspection is mandatory to catch shifted or clipped rows.

Privacy and security

Serials, software versions, certifications, prices, routes, and shipment timing are sensitive operational and security data. Keep the approved inventory access-controlled.

Frequently asked questions

Is PMW-3910 submitted by itself?

It is designed as the detailed inventory attachment to PMW-3900, the shipment approval request.

What if all items do not fit on one page?

Use additional copies, keep the header consistent, number the pages, and reconcile the total row count across the complete package.

Should the serial number match the packing list?

Yes. PMW-3910, PMW-3900 totals, the packing list, approved shipment, and physical receipt should reconcile.

Why are EPROM and certification fields important?

They identify the approved game configuration, not merely the cabinet. A mismatch can mean the shipped configuration differs from the reviewed one.
