Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. Deals of pull
				tabs must be commingled for a game as follows:
a. Two or more deals must be placed in a
				receptacle and be thoroughly intermixed. When an organization's predetermined
				number or range of numbers of winning pull tabs remain in a game as unredeemed,
				an additional deal is added. An employee shall add a deal to a game when there
				are about two hundred fifty pull tabs remaining and the game cannot be or is
				not being closed. The new pull tabs must be intermixed with the pull tabs in
				the receptacle before any pull tab is sold;
b. The deals must be identical except for the
				game serial number, and a minor difference in printing that is approved by the
				attorney general. Each deal must have at least two top tier winning pull tabs.
				If deals of a game involve folded or banded jar tickets, the color of the
				tickets' band must be the same; however, multiple-colored bands on a single
				ticket may be used. When a deal is added to a game, an employee shall compare
				the color of a deal's pull tabs to the color of the game's pull tabs. If the
				two colors are not the same, the deal cannot be used;
c. A master flare or flare for at least one
				deal of a game must be displayed with the game and be visible to and not easily
				removed by a player. An organization shall retain all original flares at a site
				while a game is in play. If a deal has a last sale prize feature, the deal's
				flare must also be displayed. Only the flare of one deal of a game may have a
				last sale prize feature;
d. If an
				indicator for adding a deal to a game has been reached and an organization does
				not have a deal to add, the organization shall temporarily suspend the game
				until it procures a deal. However, if the organization is unable to procure a
				deal from the distributors and all the top tier winning pull tabs have been
				redeemed, it may close the game;
e.
				If a site's total gross proceeds of pull tabs averages twelve thousand five
				hundred dollars or less per quarter, a game may be closed anytime if all top
				tier winning pull tabs have been redeemed;
f. Except as provided by subdivision g, if a
				site's total gross proceeds of pull tabs averages more than twelve thousand
				five hundred dollars per quarter, no game may be closed unless an organization
				discontinues gaming at the site, or all the top tier winning pull tabs have
				been redeemed and a game has been in play for twenty-five consecutive calendar
				days; and
g. An organization shall
				close a game by the end of a quarter. If all top tier winning pull tabs have
				been redeemed, an organization may close a game for the quarter within fourteen
				calendar days before the end of that quarter. An organization may start a new
				game for the next quarter within fourteen calendar days before the next quarter
				begins. However, an organization may not start a new game and end that game
				within this fourteen-calendar-day period.
