(a) A permittee or
operator may not conduct bingo activity
(1)
with an intent to defraud, as defined in
AS
11.46.990; or
(2) in deception, as defined in
AS
11.81.900.
(b) If a permittee or operator does not
provide braille bingo cards, a player who has a vision impairment may use a
personal braille bingo card. The permittee or operator shall ensure that the
personal braille bingo card is not identical to another bingo card in use. The
permittee or operator may inspect and reject a personal braille bingo card that
does not meet the requirements of this chapter.
(c) A permittee or operator shall call out
the amount of a bingo game's prize immediately before the bingo game
begins.
(d) Immediately before a
bingo game begins, the permittee or operator shall call out and display the
pattern of numbers required to be covered in order to win the bingo game's
prize.
(e) If duplicate hard bingo
cards are to be used in play, the permittee or operator shall conspicuously
post that fact and notify all players.
(f) Following the drawing of a ball in a
bingo game, the permittee or operator shall call out and display to the players
the letter and number on the ball. If a flashboard is used, the corresponding
letter and number on the flashboard must be lighted.
(g) Once drawn, a ball may not be returned to
the receptacle until after the conclusion of the bingo game.
(h) The winner of a bingo game is the first
player to complete the particular arrangement of numbers on a bingo card based
on balls called.
(i) If a player
declares a winning arrangement of numbers, the player shall submit the bingo
card for verification to the permittee or operator and to at least one neutral
player. A neutral player is a player who is not a direct relative of the
declaring player and who does not have a prohibited financial interest with the
permittee or operator.
(j) If more
than one player declares a winning arrangement of numbers on the call of the
same ball, the bingo game prize shall be divided equally among the verified
winning players.
(k) If a player
declares a winning arrangement of numbers, the permittee or operator shall draw
a ball from the receptacle. If the declaring player's arrangement is not
verified, the permittee or operator shall resume the game by calling the ball
drawn under this subsection.
(l)
Once a permittee or operator begins to call a drawn ball, the permittee or
operator shall complete the call. If a player achieved bingo based upon the
previous ball called, the player shall share the prize for the bingo game with
a player, if any, who achieves bingo on the subsequent ball called.
(m) Once all declaring players' arrangements
are verified, the permittee or operator shall award the prize for the bingo
game to that player or players.
(n)
All prizes must be awarded by the end of a bingo session. All merchandise
offered as prizes to bingo players must be paid for by the permittee or
operator without lien or interest of others before the merchandise is offered
as a prize.
