				  began on that tenth subsequent day. This ten-day calculation may not be
				  extended regardless of whether the tenth day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or
				  legal holiday, or when the limited gaming facility is closed. Examples:
93.2.a. Example 1 - A video lottery credit
				  ticket or voucher is printed at 5:00 p.m. on November 10. On November 20, the
				  limited gaming facility begins video lottery gaming at noon and ends video
