This chapter applies to a licensed organization that conducts prize boards involving a dispensing device. The maximum price per chance is two dollars. The value of a seal prize or a column sold out indicator may exceed the value of the top tier prize.
For purposes of this chapter, "prize board dispensing device" means a board used with pull tabs dispensed from a device to award cash or merchandise prizes. Coins of various values may be affixed to the board and, under each coin, a cash prize value preprinted on the board. A board must contain numbered lines and a seal covering a winning number. A player having a pull tab with a number matching a predesignated number on a board for a seal prize signs the player's full name on the numbered line or supplemental sheet. However, if a number or symbol matches a winning number or symbol assigned to a specific coin or minor prize, the player wins that coin or prize, and a cash prize value stated under the coin. A column sold out indicator may be awarded. The column sold out indicator is an additional prize, which must be described on the flare, and is used to assist organizations in selling out pull tabs. Pull tabs with a column sold out indicator need to be distinctly marked as the last pull tab in each column and must contain the initials and date of the organization employee putting the column sold out indicator on the pull tab and upon redemption must include the signature of the winning player and date that the pull tab was redeemed. When the board is closed, a seal is removed to reveal the winning line number. A player whose signature is on that line wins the seal prize. No board may be closed unless all the top tier winning pull tabs have been redeemed, all the pull tabs are sold, all the seals have been opened, or the board has been conducted for ninety calendar days. An organization is responsible for ensuring that a description and retail price of a merchandise prize or cash prize to be awarded and cost per play are on a flare. A seal prize is not considered the top tier prize. The maximum number of pull tabs in a deal is two thousand. The maximum cash prize, total of all column sold out indicators, or seal prize, including the retail price of a merchandise prize, is five hundred dollars.
