Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Punch board and pull-tab operators must:
(1) Protect players from fraud and game
				manipulation.
(2) Award all prizes
				won.
(3) Only award cash or
				merchandise as prizes. A player who has won a cash prize may make a request to
				the person redeeming the winning pull-tab that the player be given additional
				pull-tabs instead of cash. An operator may agree to such a request.
(4) Not offer to pay cash instead of
				merchandise prizes.
(5) Not award
				additional punches or tabs as a prize. Prizes, however, may involve the
				opportunity to advance and win a larger prize on the same punch board or
				pull-tab series. Operators must award an immediate additional opportunity to
				advance called a bonus prize when offered in a bonus pull-tab series or a
				step-up prize when offered on a punch board.
(6) Immediately pay out a minimum of two
				thousand five hundred dollars for verified cash prizes won and pay the
				remaining balance within twenty-four hours by check. The winner may request
				that the operator pay up to the entire prize balance by check. Operators must
				then issue a check for the entire prize balance within twenty-four
				hours.
(7) Have funds available to
				pay out all cash prizes offered. A licensee's failure to pay out all cash
				prizes as required by this rule is prima facie evidence of defrauding the
				public and a violation of
				RCW
