Use of Electronic Pull-Tab Devices and Limits

The use of electronic pull-tab devices are allowed for play at permitted premises: 

• where on-sale liquor or on-sale 3.2% alcohol beverages are sold; 
• where the organization also sells paper pull-tabs at the site or the organization has consent to sell electronic pull-tabs from an organization already selling paper pull-tabs at the site. 

Electronic pull-tabs may not be conducted between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. CST 

The number of electronic pull-tab devices available for play at each site is limited to: 

• six at sites with less than 200 seats; 
• twelve at sites with 200 or more seats; and 
• fifty at sites where the primary business is bingo (bingo hall) and the site seats at least 100 people. 

Seating capacity is determined by the fire marshal and is posted at each site.

An electronic pull-tab device is designed so that it cannot be used for any purpose other than electronic pull-tab or linked bingo games conducted within range of the POS system. Once the device leaves the site, it has no usefulness. If a device is stolen, the organization should contact local law enforcement and notify the licensed distributor. If the device is stolen while a player is using it, the player will still be able to cash out using the POS system. If a device is lost, the organization should notify the licensed distributor. Unauthorized possession of an electronic gaming device is a crime.
