Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
This chapter applies to a licensed organization that conducts
				  pull tabs, club specials, tip boards, seal boards, prize boards. The maximum
				  price per chance is two dollars. A prize board, club special, punchboard, seal
				  board, and tip board are conducted as a single game which may have a cash or
				  merchandise prize and one or more seal prizes. The value of a seal prize or a
				  last sale prize may exceed the value of the top tier prize. For pull tabs
				  described by subsection 3, only a cash prize can be awarded, not a merchandise
				  or seal prize.
1. "Club special" means
				a placard used with pull tabs and it contains numbered lines and a seal
				covering the winning number of the top tier prize. A player may win a minor
				prize or, if the player has a pull tab with a number matching a predesignated
				number on the placard, would sign the player's full name on the line. Only one
				player's name may be signed on a specific line. When all the lines are signed,
				a seal is removed to reveal a winning line number. A player whose signature is
				on that line wins the seal prize. An organization is responsible for ensuring
				that a complete description and retail price of a merchandise seal prize,
				description of minor merchandise prizes, or cash prize to be awarded and cost
				per play is on a flare. The maximum number of pull tabs in a deal is five
				hundred. The maximum cash prize, last sale prize, or seal prize, including the
				retail price of a merchandise prize, is one hundred fifty dollars.
2. "Prize board" means a board used with pull
				tabs to award cash or merchandise prizes. Coins of various values may be
				affixed to the board and, under each coin, a cash prize value is preprinted on
				the board. A board must contain numbered lines and a seal covering a winning
				number. A player having a pull tab with a number matching a predesignated
				number on a board for a seal prize signs the player's full name on the numbered
				line or supplemental sheet. Only one player's name may be signed on a specific
				line. However, if a number or symbol matches a winning number or symbol
				assigned to a specific coin or minor prize, the player wins that coin or prize,
				and a cash prize value stated under the coin. A last sale prize may be awarded.
				When the board is closed, a seal is removed to reveal the winning line number.
				A player whose signature is on that line wins the seal prize. No board may be
				closed unless all the top tier winning pull tabs have been redeemed, all the
				pull tabs are sold, all the seals have been opened, or the board has been
				conducted for ninety calendar days. An organization is responsible for ensuring
				that a complete description and retail price of a merchandise seal prize,
				description of minor merchandise prizes, or cash prize to be awarded and cost
				per play is on a board. A seal prize and a last sale prize are not considered
				top tier prizes. If a coin is not awarded, an organization shall determine the
				prizes to report on a tax return by prorating the total cost of the coins,
				according to their face value, of the coins that were awarded to the total face
				value of all the coins. An organization may use an unawarded prize in another
				game, sell the prize, or deposit the coin in the gaming account. The maximum
				number of pull tabs in a deal is two thousand. The maximum cash prize, last
				sale prize, or seal prize, including the retail price of a merchandise prize,
				is five hundred dollars.
3. "Pull
				tab" means a folded or banded ticket (jar ticket), a card with break-open tabs
				(pull tab), or a ticket with a latex covering. The terms "pull tab" and "jar
				ticket" are used interchangeably unless otherwise stated. A winning pull tab
				contains certain symbols or numbers and may contain multiple winning symbols or
				numbers. A pull-tab game must be played with two or more deals commingled at
				any time. The maximum cash prize for a winning symbol or number on a pull tab
				or last sale prize is five hundred dollars.
4. "Punchboard" means a board comprised of
				holes that contain numbered slips of paper (punches). A punchboard may include
				a seal prize, and more than one last sale prize if the punchboard is split into
				more than one section. An employee or player extracts a punch from the
				punchboard. If the number on the punch matches a number on a flare, the player
				wins a prize. No punchboard may be closed unless all the top tier winning
				punches have been redeemed, all the punches are sold, or the punchboard has
				been conducted for ninety calendar days. A seal prize and a last sale prize are
				not considered top tier prizes. An organization is responsible for ensuring
				that a complete description and retail price of a merchandise seal prize,
				description of minor merchandise prizes, or cash prize to be awarded and cost
				per play is on a board. The maximum cash prize, seal prize, or last sale prize,
				including the retail price of a merchandise prize, is five hundred
				dollars.
5. "Seal board" means a
				placard containing consecutively numbered lines. A seal covers the winning
				number. A player buys a blank "line" and signs the player's full name on it.
				Only one player's name may be signed on a specific line. After all the lines
				are signed, the seal is removed to reveal the winning line number. An
				organization is responsible for ensuring that a complete description and retail
				price of a merchandise seal prize or cash prize to be awarded and cost per play
				is on a board. The maximum seal cash prize or retail price of a merchandise
				prize is five hundred dollars.
6.
				"Tip board" means a placard to which jar tickets or pull tabs are attached. A
				seal covers the winning number of the top tier prize. A player may win a minor
				prize or, if the number of a player's jar ticket matches a number on the
				placard, the player signs the player's full name on the line. Only one player's
				name may be signed on a specific line. After all the lines are signed or all
				the pull tabs have been sold, the seal is removed to reveal the winning number.
				An organization is responsible for ensuring that a complete description and
				retail price of a merchandise seal prize, description of minor merchandise
				prizes, or cash prize to be awarded and cost per play is on a board. The
				maximum number of jar tickets or pull tabs in a deal is five hundred. The
				maximum cash prize, seal prize, or last sale prize, including the retail price
				of a merchandise prize, is one hundred fifty dollars.
