MICS (Minimum Internal Control Standards)
Operations
The regulatory framework of mandatory internal control procedures that casinos must implement and follow to ensure the integrity of gaming operations, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance. MICS cover all aspects of casino operations including surveillance, cash handling, count procedures, slot machine operations, table games, and accounting. Compliance with MICS is audited by both internal audit departments and gaming regulators.
In practice
Nevada’s MICS are widely referenced as an industry standard; tribal gaming operations follow MICS established under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) and approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC).
