The following notices and communications shall be considered advertisements for purposes of this regulation:
(1) Any sign, notice, or other information required to be provided by the act or by regulation, including the following:
(A) Notices regarding the rules of the games;
(B) information about rules of the games, payoffs of winning wagers, and odds;
(C) gaming guides;

(b) Each facility manager and each applicant shall provide to the executive director any proposed advertisement that references the Kansas lottery at least seven business days in advance of its anticipated publication, broadcast, or other use. The advertisement may be inspected and approved by the executive director before its publication, broadcast, or use.
(c) Advertisements shall be based on fact and shall not be false, deceptive, or misleading. No advertisement may use any type, size, location, lighting, illustration, graphic depiction, or color resulting in the obscuring of any material fact or fail to specifically designate any material conditions or limiting factors. Each advertisement that the executive director finds to reflect negatively on the state of Kansas or upon the integrity of gaming shall be deemed to be in violation of this regulation, and the facility manager or applicant may be subject to sanction.
(d) Each applicant or facility manager shall be responsible for all advertisements that are made by its employees or agents regardless of whether the applicant or facility manager participated directly in its preparation, placement, or dissemination.
(e) Each on-site advertisement of a facility manager's business shall comply with the facility manager's responsible gaming plan that has been approved by the commission pursuant to article 112. Each advertisement shall reference the Kansas toll-free problem gambling help line in a manner approved by the executive director.
(f) Each applicant and each facility manager shall submit all proposed text and planned signage informing patrons of the toll-free number regarding compulsive or problem gambling to the executive director with its responsible gaming plan required in article 112.
(g) Each advertisement shall be maintained by the facility manager or applicant for at least one year from the date of broadcast, publication, or use, whether that advertisement was placed by, for, or on behalf of the facility manager or applicant. Each advertisement required to be maintained by this subsection shall be maintained at the principal place of business of the facility manager or applicant and shall be made available or produced for inspection upon the request of the commission.
(h) Each gaming facility manager and each applicant shall maintain a file containing samples of the types and forms of promotional materials not directly related to gaming activity for at least six months from the date of placement of the promotional materials. The promotional materials shall be maintained at the principal place of business of the facility manager or applicant and shall be made available or produced for inspection upon the request of the executive director.
