Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 23, December 2, 2024

Section 11 CSR 45-30.357 - Event Ticket

PURPOSE: This rule defines a pull-tab event ticket game.

(1) A pull-tab event ticket game is a type of pull-tab game which is comprised of a series of hold tickets and may include instant winners. Either bingo selection equipment or the verify window on the flare is used to determine the winning hold ticket(s). Pull-tab event ticket games can be conducted either separately or simultaneously with a bingo game.

(2) A cashboard event ticket game is a type of pull-tab game which is comprised of subsets with each subset containing a series of hold tickets and may include instant winners. Either bingo selection equipment or the verify window on the subset flare is used to determine the winning hold ticket. Each subset's hold ticket winner selects a prize window from a cashboard, which reveals the winning amount for that subset.

(A) The sale and play of a pull-tab event ticket game shall be started and completed during a single occasion;

(B) Even if all tickets have not been sold during the occasion, the pull-tab event ticket game shall be played during that occasion in such a manner to ensure at least sixty percent (60%) of the gross revenues generated by the ultimate sale of the entire game is paid out in prizes; and

(C) Any unsold pull-tab event tickets shall be reported to the commission and retained until approved for disposal.
