  2.  The commission shall establish a process to investigate any case referred to it under subsection 1 of this section and issue determinations on a case-by-case basis.  The commission shall notify the licensed operator and the registered player of its determination and either party may, within thirty days, appeal such determination to the administrative hearing commission as provided under section 621.047.

  3.  If a licensed operator delays or withholds payment of a prize under the provisions of this section, such licensed operator shall pay any prizes won by other registered players in the contest as though the contested payment will be awarded to the registered player under investigation.  If, after final determination, the contested payment is not awarded, all other winning registered players in the contest shall have their prizes adjusted accordingly.
