(3) a player cannot participate in a supercard game without having purchased an opportunity to play in the concurrent bingo game;

(4) the price for each supercard shall not exceed $10 and the price for each supercard shall be uniform for each supercard game;

(5) the player may select, if available, the supercard of his or her choice to be used in the supercard game; and

(6) the authorized organization shall complete the application for a bingo license (form BC-2) by listing in the appropriate schedule the number of bingo games in which supercard games are to be conducted and the amount of the payout odds.

(b) The conduct of the supercard game involves the conforming of numbers on supercard opportunities with the numbers called during the course of the bingo game and contained in the 15 vertical lines displayed on the bingo commission. Each winning supercard opportunity shall contain the designated amount of numbers which have been called and appear in the appropriate vertical line displayed on the bingo commission.

(c) The amount paid to a winner or winners in a supercard game in conformity with these rules shall constitute a payout and not a prize.

If less than 13 differently numbered supercard opportunities have been sold in the last horizontal row, refunds shall be made to the appropriate purchasers of the less than 13 supercard opportunities before the commencement of the supercard game.

(h) The supercard game shall end when the designated amount of numbers have been called in the appropriate vertical line and a winner(s) has been declared.

(k) The licensed authorized organization shall complete the financial statement of bingo operations (form BC-7) and the quarterly summary statement of bingo operations (form BC-7Q) by listing the required information in the appropriate sections.
