Starting Cash Banks

If the site's lessor (site owner) provides the electronic game starting cash bank: 

• The lessor may provide the starting cash bank if electronic games are sold by the lessor or the lessor’s employees. The organization’s gambling manager should work with the lessor to determine the appropriate bank amount. A typical starting cash bank amount for electronic pull-tabs is $2,000. 
• The lessor is responsible for having sufficient cash on hand to pay players for the cash credit amounts on all returned electronic game devices. 

If Organization Provides Start Bank: 

• The organization is responsible for having sufficient cash on hand to pay players for the cash credit on all returned electronic game devices. 
• It’s recommended that the organization maintain a reserve start bank in a safe located at the site. If necessary, these funds can be used to replenish the start bank at the end of the day’s activity when the ending cash balance is lower than the starting cash bank amount. 
• If a reserve bank is maintained, the organization should keep a log of all funds taken from and returned to the reserve bank.
