Recording Sales and Prizes

Before placing a deal into play, the following information must be entered into the POS system:
  1. serial number of the game; and
  2. the ticket price which must be identical to the ticket price on the flare.
For each sale of paper pull-tabs, the following must be recorded by the POS system:
  • date of the sale;
  • operator’s unique identification code;
  • serial number of the game;
  • quantity of paper pull-tab tickets purchased; and
  • ticket price.
A gambling employee or volunteer who sells paper pull-tab tickets must enter:
  • the key on the register that corresponds to the game from which the paper pull-tab ticket is purchased;
  • the number of paper pull-tab tickets purchased; and
  • the dollar value of currency given by the player.

Redeeming Winning Tickets - Information Required

For each redeemed winning paper pull-tab ticket, the employee or volunteer must record in the POS system:
  • the date of the prize payout;
  • the operator’s unique identification code;
  • the serial number of the winning paper pull-tab; and
  • the amount of the prize payout.
The employee or volunteer also must:
  • use the POS system key that corresponds to the game for that ticket;
  • enter the prize payout amount; and
  • complete a prize receipt form for any winning paper pull-tab ticket redeemed with a prize value of $100 or more and any “last sale prize” awarded with a value of $20 or more.

Playbacks—A customer may choose to receive a paper pull-tab ticket rather than cash in exchange for a winning paper pull-tab ticket. The transaction must be recorded as both a redeemed paper pull-tab and a paper pull-tab sale, so that all transactions are accurately accounted for when using a POS system.
