North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 99 - State Gaming Commission › Article 99-01.3 - Games of Chance › Chapter 99-01.3-12.1 - Prize Board Dispensing Devices › Section 99-01.3-12.1-01 - Definition

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
This chapter applies to a licensed organization that
				  conducts prize boards involving a dispensing device. The maximum price per
				  chance is two dollars. The value of a seal prize or a column sold out indicator
				  may exceed the value of the top tier prize.
For purposes of this chapter, "prize board dispensing
				  device" means a board used with pull tabs dispensed from a device to award cash
				  or merchandise prizes. Coins of various values may be affixed to the board and,
				  under each coin, a cash prize value 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.
				  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 column sold out indicator may be awarded.
				  The column sold out indicator is an additional prize, which must be described
				  on the flare, and is used to assist organizations in selling out pull tabs.
				  Pull tabs with a column sold out indicator need to be distinctly marked as the
				  last pull tab in each column and must contain the initials and date of the
				  organization employee putting the column sold out indicator on the pull tab and
				  upon redemption must include the signature of the winning player and date that
				  the pull tab was redeemed. 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 description and retail price of
				  a merchandise prize or cash prize to be awarded and cost per play are on a
				  flare. A seal prize is not considered the top tier prize. The maximum number of
				  pull tabs in a deal is two thousand. The maximum cash prize, total of all
				  column sold out indicators, or seal prize, including the retail price of a
				  merchandise prize, is five hundred dollars.
