				Subsection 010.03 of these rules, and other

				example, "U-Pick Em." See Section
				67-7702(1), Idaho
				Code: (3-25-22)
a. Bingo Cards, Regular.
				Regular bingo cards (reusable or disposable) contain five (5) rows and five (5)
				columns of squares arranged in a five-by-five (5x5) grid; each square is
				imprinted with randomly placed numbers from a range of one (1) through
				seventy-five (75), except for the center square, which may be a free space. The
				letters "B-I-N-G-O" must also be imprinted on the card in order with one (1)
				letter above each of the five (5) columns (the letter "B" above the first
				column and so on). (3-25-22)
b.
				Bingo Cards, Electronic, or Face. An electronic facsimile of a regular bingo
				card. See Section 677702(6),
				Idaho Code. (3-25-22)
c. Play
				Method. Players who have paid consideration for the cards that they are holding
				compete for a prize by covering numbers on their cards when designators with
				the same number are randomly drawn and called. The balls or other designators
				in the selection device are numbered in the same manner as the possible numbers
				on the bingo cards, from one (1) through seventy-five (75). The winner is the
				first player to cover a predetermined arrangement of numbers on the players'
				cards, for example, any row, column or diagonal of the five (5) rows and (5)
				columns and two (2) diagonals of the bingo card. Upon approval of the
				Bingo-Raffle Advisory Board there may be other forms of bingo games allowed,
				such as, but not limited to, Blackouts, Bonanza, and "U-Pick Em" games. The
				game begins when the first number is called and ends when a player has covered
				the previously designated arrangement and declares a bingo. Each winning card
				must be independently verified by a floor worker and another player by calling
				back the winning combination of numbers in the predetermined arrangement or by
				entering the serial number printed on the bingo card into an electronic
				verification system that can verify whether a card is a winner.
				(3-25-22)
d. Exclusions from Bingo.
				Bingo does not include "instant bingo," which is a game of chance played by the
				selection of one (1) or more prepackaged cards, with the winner determined by
				the appearance of a preprinted winning designation on the card.
