No certificate holder may be approved to conduct table games in a licensed facility or a hotel unless the areas to be designated are equipped with adequate security and surveillance equipment to ensure the integrity of the conduct of a table game contest or tournament. The certificate holder shall notify the board of the number of gaming tables that the certificate holder intends to operate during a contest or tournament, and the board shall designate an employee of the board to approve or deny the request. An authorization granted under this section may not:
