Washington Administrative Code › Title 230 - Gambling Commission › Chapter 230-11 - Raffles › DRAWING TICKETS › Section 230-11-055 - Authorized alternative drawing formats

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Except for enhanced raffles, licensees may use the following
				  types of alternative drawing formats or similar random selection
				  processes:
(1) Mock races. The
				licensee sells participants consecutively numbered tickets that identify a
				specific corresponding numbered mock animal(s), ball(s), or other similar
				object(s) that can use natural elements to move the objects (water, gravity,
				wind) in a race. All objects must be identical in weight, size, and shape, to
				have an equal opportunity to win. The licensee must release all objects
				simultaneously at a start line. The first numbered object to cross the finish
				line wins.
(2) Poker runs. The
				licensee sells participants consecutively numbered tickets or poker tally
				sheets to participants. Participants travel a predetermined course with
				predetermined drawing stations (typically five drawing stations). At each
				drawing station, participants draw one playing card for each ticket purchased.
				Station attendants must verify the card drawn and record the card value on the
				poker ticket tally sheet. After all participants have completed the course, the
				participant with the best recorded poker hand wins.
(3) Ball drops. The licensee sells
				participants consecutively numbered tickets that identify a specific
				corresponding numbered ball. All balls must be equal in size, weight, and
				shape, to have an equal opportunity to win. The licensee suspends all purchased
				numbered balls in the air and simultaneously releases them over a target zone.
				The ball, closest or first, to hit the predetermined target wins.
(4) Animal plops. The licensee sells
				participants consecutively numbered tickets that identify a specific
				corresponding square on a numbered grid. The licensee releases the animal into
				the grid area until the animal has completed its plop. The numbered square
				containing the plop wins.
(5)
				Multiple stage drawings. The licensee sells participants consecutively numbered
				tickets. The licensee uses multiple drawing phases to eliminate participants
				until the licensee declares the remaining ticket holder(s) the winner(s). The
				licensee may use second element of chance plans as long as the plans meet the
				criteria set out in WAC
				230-11-060.
(6) Bucket raffles. The licensee sells
				participants consecutively numbered tickets. Participants place their tickets
				into any number of separate buckets or other receptacles for separate prizes.
				We consider the multiple drawings one single raffle. If licensees use different
				tickets for each receptacle, we consider each drawing an individual
				raffle.
(7) Calendar raffles. The
				licensee sells participants consecutively numbered calendars with removable
				stubs. The licensee places all sold calendar stubs into the drawing receptacle.
				On predetermined dates identified on the calendar, the licensee conducts
				drawings. The licensee places all winning stubs back into the drawing
				receptacle for future drawings.
(8)
				Heads/tails raffles. The licensee sells participants consecutively numbered
				tickets. Every participant who purchased a ticket stands up and places their
				hands on either their head or their tail. The licensee then flips a coin to
				determine heads or tails. Participants who selected the losing outcome (heads
				or tails) must sit down. The process is repeated until there is only one
				participant standing and they win the prize.
(9) Number raffles. The licensee sells
				participants consecutively numbered tickets. The participants select a number
				from a spot or square on a grid or from a list of numbers. The licensee then
				draws a number(s) that corresponds to the numbers on the grid or list to
				determine the winner(s).
