(a) Pay all winners with duplicate cards the
				entire prize amount that would be due if there were no duplicate cards;
				or
(b) Compute and pay all winners
				with duplicate cards using the following guidelines:
(i)
If the game provides a bonus for a
				single winner and all winners have duplicate cards,
then the licensee
				must pay all winners the bonus; or
(ii)
If the game results in multiple
				winners and some of the players have duplicate cards,
then the licensee
				must calculate the split of the prize pool by counting all duplicate card
				winners as one. All winners will be paid according to the calculated prize
				split; or
(iii)
If the prize
				pool contains noncash or merchandise prizes,
then the licensee may use
				the cost or retail value of the merchandise, whichever is posted in the game
				schedule, to calculate the amount added to the prize pool to make the split.
				Manufacturers are not responsible for reimbursement to this noncash or
				merchandise prize pool; or
(iv)
If the prize is more than one thousand dollars,
then the licensee
				must increase the total prize pool by no more than fifty percent or five
				thousand dollars, whichever is less. We authorize this limitation only once
				within a twelvemonth period; and
