Overview

Electronic pull-tabs are played similarly to paper pull-tabs. A player buys a ticket with one or more windows concealing symbols. The player opens the window or windows to determine whether the symbols on the ticket match the winning symbols as listed on the game flare. However, there are some differences:

• There are no paper pull-tab tickets to count, deface, or store. 
• A player pays cash to a seller who then puts cash credit on a handheld device. 
• The devices “communicate” with an on-site point-of-sale (POS) system using a secure wi-fi connection. 
• The player uses the cash credit on the device to purchase electronic pull-tab tickets one at a time. 
• The POS uses a single cash drawer for all electronic pull-tab and linked bingo games in play. 
• Deposits for electronic gambling net receipts at a premises are required within four business days when the cumulative total net receipts reach $2,000, and after the close of business on the last day of each month. 
• Winning electronic tickets are redeemed instantly by automatically adding cash credit to the handheld device. 
• A prize receipt form is required when cashing out credits of $600 or more. 
• Money is paid to players only when the device is returned with a cash credit balance.
