Section 12261 - Review of Playing Book Forms
(a) The Bureau must review and approve or disapprove all playing book forms. Only an approved playing book form on record with the Bureau may be used during play.
(b) To request the review of a new or amended hardcopy playing book, the form Application for Playing Book Approval, CGCC-CH3-01 (Rev. 11/21), attached in Appendix A to this chapter, must be completed and submitted to the Bureau along with the following:
(1) The initial or amendment application processing fee and deposit required in Section 12090 as applicable. During the review, the Chief of the Bureau may require any additional sums, pursuant to Title 11, California Code of Regulations, Section 2037, as are required to pay all costs and charges of the review. Additional deposits are due to the Bureau within fifteen (15) days from the date of the request for the required deposit. All costs and charges of the review must be paid before the Bureau may approve the hardcopy playing book. The review concludes upon the Bureau's approval or denial of the hardcopy playing book, or upon a request to withdraw the hardcopy playing book from review. At the conclusion of the review, the Bureau must provide the applicant with an itemized accounting of the costs incurred and must cause a refund to be made of any unused portion of the deposit.
(2) Those using hardcopy playing books must submit a sample playing book form that complies with Section 12260. Those using an electronic playing book system must submit all required information that complies with Sections 12260 and 12262.
(3) If the request is to amend an existing approved playing book form, a brief description of any changes made to the previously approved form must be included.
(c) The Bureau must notify the applicant in writing that an application or a resubmitted application for an initial or amended hardcopy playing book form is complete and accepted for filing; or, is deficient and what is necessary to correct any deficiencies within 10 working days after the receipt of the application. The Bureau must review and approve or disapprove an initial or amended playing book form within 30 calendar days of receiving a completed application. Written notices regarding this review must be sent to the TPPPS business licensee or the designated agent.
(d) If a change is non-substantive, for example, the addition of a Bureau-approved controlled game, or a change in formatting, font, spacing, or other cosmetic change, the TPPPS business licensee must submit a notice and copy of the revised form to the Bureau to update the Bureau's records. This notice will be deemed accepted unless otherwise notified in writing by the Bureau within 30 calendar days of receiving the notice. The Bureau may determine the change is substantive and require the TPPPS business licensee to request approval pursuant to subsection (b).
(e) An approved playing book form may be used at any gambling establishment where the TPPPS business licensee operates.
