Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
All bell jar tickets sold in the State of New York shall
						comply with the following standards:
(a) All bell jar tickets offered for sale or
					 resale in New York shall have a commission-approved logo or manufacturer's name
					 printed thereon.
(b) All bell jar
					 tickets manufactured for sale or resale in New York after January 1, 1999 shall
					 include a winner verification code on tickets redeemable for prizes with a
					 value of $50 or more. Each manufacturer shall establish its own winner
					 verification code for each bell jar ticket game or series of games. The winner
					 verification code shall be a method of verifying winning bell jar tickets,
					 after they have been purchased and opened, from nonwinning, altered or forged
					 bell jar tickets. Manufacturers may use special numbers, colors, designs, ink
					 or any combination thereof to establish the winner verification code.
					 Manufacturers shall submit to the commission a letter explaining the winner
					 verification code and shall keep the commission informed, by written notice, of
					 any changes. Winner verification codes shall not be required for banded
					 single-sided single-tabbed, doublesided single-tabbed and folded bell jar
					 tickets.
(c) Bell jar tickets shall
					 be constructed so that it is impossible to determine the covered or concealed
					 number, color, symbol, set of symbols or game protection code on the bell jar
					 ticket by any method or device, including, without limitation, use of a
					 marking, variance in size, variance in paper color and fiber or examination by
					 500-watt high-intensity light, until the bell jar ticket has been dispensed to
					 and opened by the player.
(d) All
					 bell jar tickets, except banded bell jar tickets, shall be constructed using
					 paper stock of at least two ply.
(e) The manufacturer shall conspicuously
					 print on each bell jar ticket, excluding banded, single-sided single-tabbed and
					 double-sided single-tabbed bell jar tickets, at least the following
					 information:
(1) the game serial
					 number;
(2) the name of the
					 manufacturer and/or the commission approved logo;
(3) the name of the game which must be
					 identical to the name of the game appearing on the flare for the
					 deal;
(4) the manufacturer's form
					 number;
(5) price per individual
					 bell jar ticket; and
(6) the number
					 of winners in each tier and respective winning numbers or symbols and prize
					 amounts. On banded, single-sided single-tabbed and double-sided singletabbed
					 bell jar tickets, the game serial number, the name of the manufacturer and/or
					 commission approved logo shall be printed so both are readily visible prior to
					 opening the bell jar ticket.
