Section 230-10-100 - Hours for bingo games(1) Bingo licensees must not allow the use of their premises for bingo games between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless we approve different hours or they are operating at an authorized agricultural fair or under RCW 9.46.0321.(2) Licensees may request, in writing, different hours of operation. Once the request is received, we will consult with the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the licensee's business and with other state agencies involved in regulation of the business. We may allow licensees to adjust closing hours, but licensees must: (a) Observe a four-hour period of closure at the end of each business day before beginning the next period of operation; and(b) Comply with any other terms and conditions we require.(3) We may deny the request for extended hours or revoke hours already approved if:(a) Any local law enforcement agency or state agency objects in writing; or(b) We determine that the licensee has violated any provisions of chapter 9.46 RCW, any other commission rule, or any of the terms set forth in subsection (1) of this section.(4) The licensee must submit all objections to revocations of operating hours in writing.(5) We allow the licensee an opportunity for a brief adjudicative proceeding (BAP) before denying or revoking the licensee's authorization for extended bingo hours. An administrative law judge hears the BAP, under the provisions of Title 230 WAC and chapter 34.05 RCW.Wash. Admin. Code § 230-10-100
