What are the conduct requirements? |
In addition to the general requirements for a tipboard game, the following apply to the conduct of a progressive game.
-
The game is played with deals having the same form number from the same family and manufacturer.
-
The flare containing the current progressive jackpot amount must be posted while the game is in play.
-
When the progressive jackpot reaches the jackpot amount listed on the flare, no additional contribution may be made to the progressive jackpot.
-
The LG471 Progressive Paper Pull-tab or Tipboard Contact Information form must be completed by all potential winners.
- If the seal prize winner is present:
- the winner must select a window(s) to be opened or uncovered by the seller;
- the winner must complete and sign in ink a progressive jackpot prize receipt;
- the organization must pay the winner by check within two business days of the signed prize receipt;
- the organization may pay the winner with cash if the jackpot prize is $599 or less; and
- the organization must furnish the winner with appropriate federal and state tax forms.
If the seal prize winner is not present:
- the seller opens or uncovers the window(s) the player selected and recorded on the contact information form;
- the organization must send the prize receipt and notification letter to the winner by certified mail within two business days; and
- the organization must pay the winner by check within two business days of receipt of the signed prize receipt and furnish the winner with appropriate federal and state tax forms.
If the jackpot winner does not claim the prize within 30 days of the date the certified letter was mailed, the prize is forfeited by the player.
-
If there is no seal prize winner or the progressive jackpot is not won, the next deal may be put in play or the progressive game may be closed. The organization may close a "dead deal" within the game and put a new deal into play or discontinue the game.
-
The winning ticket and any winning seal tab from the flare must be stapled to the prize receipt.
