Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
For purposes of this title:
(1) "Card" means a unique group and
				configuration of numbers printed on paper, cardboard, or other material used in
				bingo games. This is also called a "face."
(2) "Card number" means the number the
				manufacturer assigns to identify a single card or face. The "card number" is
				also called a "face" or "perm" number.
(3) "Number" means numeral or symbol printed
				on the card.
(4) "Collate" means
				the process of cutting or assembling master sheets or precut sheets of cards
				from one or more sets of cards into packets or books for marketing purposes.
				"Collate" is also called "finish" or "finishing."
(5) "Collation" means a group of packets or
				books of cards assembled from more than one set of cards.
(6) "Cut" means the layout or orientation of
				cards or sheets of cards divided from a master sheet of cards. A "cut" may be
				either square, horizontal, or vertical.
(7) "Disposable bingo card" means a
				nonreusable paper bingo card manufactured by a licensed manufacturer.
(8) "Duplicate cards" means two or more cards
				that are imprinted with the same numbers.
(9) "On" means the number of cards imprinted
				on a sheet. (Example: "Three on.")
(10) "Pack" means a group of cards or sheets
				of cards collated into a book and each page or sheet is intended to play a
				separate bingo game, including "on-the-way" games, within a session. This is
				also called a "packet."
(11)
				"Product line" means a specific type of card identifiable by unique features or
				characteristics when compared to other types of cards the manufacturer markets.
				A "product line" includes all series and all cards within each series the
				manufacturer identifies.
(12)
				"Consecutively numbered" means a numbering system normally beginning with the
				number one, increased by one for each individual unit added to the group, and
				ending with a number identical to the total number of units assigned to that
				group.
(13) "Serial number" means a
				number the manufacturer assigns for identification and tracking purposes to a
				set of cards. The same number must not identify another set of cards from the
				same product line, color, border pattern, and series in less than 999,999
				occurrences or twelve months, whichever occurs first. If the product line is
				used as a determining factor for assignment of a serial number, the difference
				between various product lines must be readily identifiable by
				observation.
(14) "Series" of cards
				means a specific group of cards that a manufacturer assigns consecutive card
				numbers. The first and last card numbers in a series typically identify the
				group of cards. (Example: The "1 to 9000 series.")
(15) "Set" of cards means a specific group of
				cards from the same product line, which are the same color, border pattern, and
				imprinted with the same serial number. A "set" of cards may include more than
				one series of cards.
(16) "Sheet
				number" means the number the manufacturer assigns to identify an arrangement of
				more than one card that results from dividing master sheets of cards to help
				marketing.
(17) "Skip" means the
				standard spread or difference between card or sheet numbers at different page
				levels in packs or packets.
(18)
				"Subset" means a portion of a set of cards or collation of packets that a
				licensed distributor divides to help marketing.
(19) "Up" means the number of pages or sheets
				collated into each packet or book of cards. (Example: "Eight up.")
