Manufacturing Requirements. (1) Manufacturers of pull-tab bingo tickets must manufacture, assemble, and package each deal in such a manner that none of the winning pull-tab bingo tickets, nor the location, or approximate location of any winning pull-tab bingo ticket can be determined in advance of opening the deal by any means or device. Nor should the winning pull-tab bingo tickets, or the location or approximate location of any winning pull-tab bingo ticket be determined in advance of opening the deal by manufacture, printing, color variations, assembly, packaging markings, or by use of a light. Each manufacturer is subject to inspection by the Commission, its authorized representative, or designee.(2) All winning pull-tab bingo tickets as identified on the payout schedule must be randomly distributed and mixed among all other pull-tab bingo tickets of the same serial number in a deal regardless of the number of packages, boxes, or other containers in which the deal is packaged. The position of any winning pull-tab bingo ticket of the same serial numbers must not demonstrate a pattern within the deal or within a portion of the deal. If a deal of pull-tabs is packed in more than one box or container, no individual container may indicate that it includes a winner or contains a disproportionate share of winning or losing tickets.(3) Each deal's package, box, or other container shall be sealed at the manufacturer's factory with a seal including a warning to the purchaser that the deal may have been tampered with if the package, box, or other container was received by the purchaser with the seal broken.(4) Each deal's serial number shall be clearly and legibly placed on the outside of the deal's package, box or other container or be able to be viewed from the outside of the package, box or container.(5) A flare must accompany each deal.(6) The information contained in subsection (a)(3)(A), (B), (C), (D), and (F) of this section shall be located on the outside of each deal's sealed package, box, or other container.(7) Manufacturers must seal or tape, with tamper resistant seal or tape, every entry point into a package, box or container of pull-tab bingo tickets prior to shipment. The seal or tape must be of such construction as to guarantee that should the container be opened or tampered with, such tampering or opening would be easily discernible.(8) All high tier winning instant pull-tab bingo tickets must utilize a secondary form of winner verification.(9) Each individual pull-tab bingo ticket must be constructed so that, until opened by a player, it is substantially impossible, in the opinion of the Commission, to determine its concealed letter(s), number(s) or symbol(s).(10) No manufacturer may sell or otherwise provide to a distributor and no distributor may sell or otherwise provide to a licensed authorized organization of this state or for use in this state any pull-tab bingo game that does not contain a minimum prize payout of 65% of total receipts if completely sold out.(11) A manufacturer in selling or providing pull-tab bingo tickets to a distributor shall seal or shrink-wrap each package, box, or container of a deal completely in a clear wrapping material.(12) Pull-tab bingo tickets must:(A) be constructed of cardboard and glued or otherwise securely sealed along all four edges of the pull-tab bingo ticket and between the individual perforated break-open tab(s) on the ticket. The glue must be of sufficient strength and type so as to prevent the separation of the sides of a pull-tab bingo ticket;(B) have letters, numbers or symbols that are concealed behind perforated window tab(s), and allow such letters, numbers or symbols to be revealed only after the player has physically removed the perforated window tab(s);(C) prevent the determination of a winning or losing pull-tab bingo ticket by any means other than the physical removal of the perforated window tab(s) by the player;(D) be designed so that the numbers and symbols are a minimum of 2/32 (4/64) inch from the dye-cut window perforations;(E) be designed so that the lines or arrows that identify the winning symbol combinations will be a minimum of 5/32 inch from the open edge farthest from the hinge of the dye-cut window perforations; (F) be designed so that highlighted "pay-code" designations that identify the winning symbol combinations will be a minimum of 3.5/32 (7/64) inch from the dye-cut window perforations;(G) be designed so that secondary winner protection codes appear in the left margin of the ticket, unless the secondary winner protection codes are randomly generated serial number-type winner protection codes. Randomly generated serial number-type winner protection codes will be randomly located in either the left or middle column of symbols and will be designed so that the numbers are a minimum of 3.5/32 (7/64) inch from the dye-cut window perforations. Any colored line or bar or background used to highlight the winner protection code will be a minimum 3.5/32 (7/64) inch from the dye-cut window perforations;(H) have the Commission's seal placed on all pull-tab bingo tickets by only a licensed manufacturer; and(I) be designed so that the name of the manufacturer or its distinctive logo, form number and serial number unique to the deal, name of the game, price of the ticket, and the payout structure remain when the letters, numbers, and symbols are revealed.(13) Wheels must be submitted to the Commission for approval. As a part of the approval process, the following requirements must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission:(A) wheels must be able to spin at least four times with reasonable effort;(B) wheels must only contain the same number or symbols as represented on the event ticket; and(C) locking mechanisms must be installed on wheel(s) to prevent play outside the licensed authorized organization's licensed time(s).(14) A manufacturer must include with each pull-tab bingo ticket deal instructions for how the pull-tab bingo ticket can be played in a manner consistent with the Bingo Enabling Act and this chapter. The instructions are not required to cover every potential method of playing the pull-tab bingo ticket deal.
