North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 99 - State Gaming Commission › Article 99-01.3 - Games of Chance › Chapter 99-01.3-15 - Distributors › Section 99-01.3-15-06 - Distribution of gaming equipment

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. A manufacturer's
				game serial number must be on a paddlewheel ticket described by subsection 1 of
				section
				99-01.3-11-01, all
				pull tabs, including pull tabs used with prize boards, club specials, and tip
				boards and punches in a punchboard. No game serial number may be special
				ordered. A game serial number must be preprinted on a paddlewheel ticket card.
				If a game serial number is not preprinted on a seal board, raffle board, prize
				board, sports-pool board, or calcutta board, a distributor shall assign and
				electronically or mechanically imprint it on the board. No serial number may be
				repeated within three years.
2. For
				a deal of pull tabs and jar ticket game, a distributor may open a
				manufacturer's cellophane shrink wrap to access a flare. A distributor shall
				affix a state gaming stamp on the front of the original flare, or a legible
				copy of the flare, of a deal of pull tabs, club special, tip board, series of
				paddlewheel ticket cards, and on a punchboard, sports-pool board, seal board,
				raffle board, prize board, and calcutta board that is sold or provided to a
				customer. A gaming stamp must be affixed in North Dakota. A distributor shall
				legibly write a manufacturer's game serial number in ink on the stamp. If the
				written number is incorrect, the number cannot be changed or erased and the
				stamp must be voided. For a series of paddlewheel ticket cards, the game serial
				number written must be the lowest numbered paddlewheel ticket card. Then, a
				distributor shall replace, if applicable, a flare inside the cellophane shrink
				wrap and seal the opening. This rule does not apply to gaming equipment
				provided directly to an Indian tribe, United States military, out-of-state
				purchaser, or another licensed distributor.
3. If a manufacturer's security seal on a
				container is inadvertently broken but the integrity of a deal remains intact, a
				distributor may reseal the deal with an adhesive security seal identifying the
				distributor. The seal must be applied to all accessible sides of a container
				and ensure that a deal is secure. A distributor shall indicate on a sales
				invoice that the deal was resealed by the distributor and the reason.
4. For electronic pull tab deals, a
				distributor electronically shall assign a state-issued electronic gaming stamp
				number to each electronic pull tab deal issued to a licensed organization. This
				placement must occur prior to the deal being downloaded to the organization's
				site server. The organization and attorney general must be notified of the
				assigned electronic gaming stamp number, game serial number, game name, site
				received at, and date and time the deal was received at the site at least
				monthly or on demand. Electronic gaming stamps must be issued in consecutive
				order.
5. A distributor shall
				provide a flare with a deal of pull tabs or jar tickets and series of
				paddlewheel ticket cards. The master flare for a game involving deals of jar
				tickets that contain winning tickets of the same prize value printed in
				differently colored numbers or symbols must have the flare's numbers and
				symbols printed in matching colors. A flare, including a master flare, must
				indicate the name of the game, manufacturer's form number, cost per play, and
				value and number of winning prizes. The front of a flare for a deal of jar
				tickets must indicate the number of jar tickets in the deal. The number of
				prizes may be designated by a number or by a quantity of symbols that represent
				the number of winning prizes and winning number or symbol. A symbol must be
				pictured on a flare, not described. A flare, including a master flare, may not
				display combinations of winning pull tabs, unless the phrase "prizes above are
				combinations of single prizes listed below" or a similar phrase is used and
				additional statements such as "may contain multiple winners", may be used in
				conjunction with this phrase. A last sale prize must be printed on a flare or
				be indicated by a permanently affixed sticker. The flare or sticker must
				contain the last sale feature, prize value, and distributor's name or license
				number. A distributor may not alter a flare except to add a last sale feature
				to a manufacturer's flare for a deal of pull tabs. A distributor may make a
				flare for a deal of jar tickets. This information must be mechanically or
				electronically printed on a flare.
6. A distributor may not sell or provide a
				multiple line or multiple square sports-pool board to a customer unless a
				special opaque tape covers the numbers on the board. If a tape is disturbed,
				any recovering of the numbers must be detectable. A tape must prevent the
				concealed numbers from being viewed from the outside when using a
				high-intensity lamp.
7. For a deal
				of jar tickets, club special, tip board, and prize board, a distributor shall
				provide a game information sheet containing gaming stamp number, cost per play,
				ideal gross proceeds, ideal prizes, including any last sale prize, if known,
				ideal adjusted gross proceeds, and the quantity, face value, and total face
				value of coins on a prize board or, in place of a separate sheet, the
				information may be printed on the front or back of the deal's flare.
8. A distributor shall print these phrases on
				a sports-pool board:
a. Professional sports
				pool;
b. Cost per play $ __________
				(maximum cost per play is $25.00);
c. Date of sports event __________
				;
d. Ideal prizes $ __________ ;
				and
e. Method of prize payout
				__________ .
