b) Licenses. If, after receipt of a completed
application the Department determines that the applicant is not ineligible for
a license for any of the reasons stated in Section
432.150,
the Department will issue a manufacturer's license. The license authorizes the
manufacturer to produce pull tabs for sale to suppliers licensed under the Act
(see Section
432.140 ). No
other sales of pull tabs for delivery within Illinois, or to persons or
organizations located in Illinois, are authorized.
1) Manufacturer's licenses are issued for a
period of one year from the date of issue. If a manufacturer submits a license
renewal application which the Department receives not more than 7 days after
the expiration of the manufacturer's license, the manufacturer may continue to
operate under its expired license until the Department approves or denies the
renewal application. It is the Department's policy to send a renewal
application to each manufacturer at least six weeks prior to the expiration of
its license. However, failure to receive a renewal application does not relieve
a manufacturer of its obligation to either renew its license in a timely
manner, or to discontinue the sale of pull tabs if a timely application is not
filed.
2) Manufacturer's licensees
are requested to notify the Department immediately, in writing, whenever the
licensee has knowledge of the sale of pull tabs in Illinois, or for delivery to
persons or organizations who are located in Illinois, by unlicensed
manufacturers or suppliers, or the sale of pull tabs in Illinois to the public
by unlicensed organizations. The notification should be addressed to the
Illinois Department of Revenue, Bingo and Charitable Games Unit, P.O. Box
19019, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9019. The Department will keep the source of
any such notification strictly confidential.
c) Pull tab production standards. Having
considered the minimum quality production standards for pull tabs adopted by
the National Association of Gambling Regulatory Agencies and the National
Association of Fundraising Ticket Manufacturers, the following production
standards are hereby adopted for all pull tabs sold to regular and limited
licensees:
1) Opacity. Concealed numbers or
symbols must not be able to be viewed or winning numbers or symbols determined
from the outside of the pull tab using a high intensity lamp of 500 watts or
less. Protection shall be provided by using opaque paper stock or by use of an
aluminum foil laminate;
2)
Randomization. The deal must be assembled so that no placement of winners or
losers exists that allows the possibility of prize manipulation; i.e. prior
knowledge of which pull tabs are winning tickets;
3) Information printed on pull tabs. Every
pull tab shall have printed on it at least the following information: The
manufacturer's name or logo; the serial number assigned by the manufacturer and
the supplier's name, both of which must be printed on the face (game
information side) of break open tickets and must appear in plain view to the
casual observer; and the number of winners, respective winning numbers or
symbols, selling price of each ticket, and prize amounts (this information may
be printed on a flare rather than on the pull tab). A supplier's name may be
reasonably abbreviated, but initials alone are not sufficient unless they
constitute the supplier's full name. A person or organization holding both a
manufacturer's license and a supplier's license must include the supplier's
license number on pull tabs which it manufactures and sells to regular
licensees;
4) Specific requirements
for break opens. In addition to the requirements of subsection (c)(3) above,
the following information must be printed on each gaming ticket which falls
into the category of break open: The name of the game, the manufacturer's form
number, the selling price (not to exceed one dollar), and the prize amount (not
to exceed $250). In addition, the back side of a break open ticket shall
contain a series of perforated tabs marked "open here" (Section 5 of the
Act);
5) Game construction. The
pull tabs shall be designed, constructed, glued, and assembled in such a manner
as to prevent the determination of a winning ticket without removing the tabs
or otherwise uncovering the symbols or numbers as intended. Each ticket in a
deal must bear the same serial number of at least five digits. There shall not
be more than one serial number in a deal. A manufacturer may not use one deal's
serial number on a second deal with the same form number unless at least three
years have elapsed between the manufacture of the first and second deals. The
break opens' numbers or symbols must be fully visible in the window, and shall
be centered so that no part of a symbol or number remains covered when the tab
is removed;
6) Cutting variations.
It must not be possible to isolate winning or potential winning tickets from
variations in size or the appearance of a cut edge of the pull tabs comprising
a particular game;
7) Color or
printing variations. It must not be possible to detect or pick out winning pull
tabs from losing pull tabs through variations in printing graphics or colors,
especially those involving different printing plates;
8) Winner protection. A unique symbol or
printed security device, such as a specific number keyed to particular winners,
or the name of the symbol or some of the symbol colors changed for a winner, or
other similar protection shall be placed in the winning windows of prize
winners. This does not apply to numeral games;
9) Packaging. Each deal's package shall be
sealed by the manufacturer with a seal including a warning that the deal may
have been tampered with if the package was received by the purchaser with the
seal broken. A deal's serial number shall be clearly placed on the outside of
the deal's package, or be able to be viewed from the outside of the package. No
deal shall contain more than 4,000 tickets.
d) Records. Every manufacturer shall maintain
a record, by serial and form number, of the disposition of every deal of pull
tabs it produces. When provided by the Department with the serial and form
number of a deal it has produced, a licensed manufacturer must be able to
inform the Department of the name and address of the person or organization
that received the deal. Manufacturers shall retain the record for each deal for
a period of three years from the date the deal left the manufacturer's
possession.
