Event Ticket

PURPOSE: This rule defines a pull-tab and a cashboard event ticket game. (1) A pull-tab event ticket game is a type of pull-tab game which is comprised of a series of hold tickets and may include instant winners. Either bingo selection equipment or the verify window on the flare is used to determine the winning hold ticket(s). Pull-tab event ticket games can be conducted either separately or simultaneously with a bingo game. (2) A cashboard event ticket game is a type of pull-tab game which is comprised of subsets with each subset containing a series of hold tickets and may include instant winners. Either bingo selection equipment or the verify window on the subset flare is used to determine the winning hold ticket. Each subset’s hold ticket winner selects a prize window from a cashboard, which reveals the winning amount for that subset. (3) All rules governing the sale of pull-tab cards by bingo licensees shall apply to event ticket games and cashboard event ticket games.
