SECTION 45:50-7-2. Conduct of breakopen ticket games

(a)   Only breakopen ticket games approved by the Commission shall be played.

(b)   The following restrictions shall apply to breakopen ticket games:

(1)   A member or employee shall not purchase breakopen tickets at the location of the organization during the time the member or employee is selling breakopen ticket cards or redeeming winning breakopen ticket cards;

(2)   An organization shall not change the flare or use a flare that it receives in an altered or defaced condition. A breakopen ticket game deal shall not be placed out for play when the value of the prizes or the cost of the breakopen tickets differs from the flare;

(3)   A member or employee of an organization shall not purchase tickets or redeem prizes on behalf of a player.

(4)   An organization shall not purchase deals of breakopen tickets that have the same manufacturer's form number and serial number. This does not prevent an organization from retaining upon its location breakopen tickets remaining from a deal removed from play, if the organization:

(A)   Has defaced by marking or punching each breakopen ticket removed and retained immediately upon removal of the breakopen ticket games from play;

(B)   Has made a written record of the game form and serial number, color trim, and the number of breakopen ticket cards remaining in the deal immediately upon removing the deal from play; and

(C)   The written record is maintained and available for inspection;

(5)   No organization shall place a deal of breakopen tickets in play unless the game form and serial number of the deal of breakopen tickets corresponds to the game serial number written on the invoice provided the organization. If the game form and serial number does not correspond to the number written on the invoice, the organization shall return the deal of breakopen tickets to the distributor.

(c)   Breakopen ticket games shall be conducted as follows:

(1)   An organization shall not put into play any breakopen ticket game that has been marked, defaced, altered, tampered with, damaged or otherwise operated in a manner which tends to deceive the public or affects the chances of winning or losing;

(2)   Each breakopen ticket shall be sold for the single ticket price indicated on the flare and no breakopen ticket shall be provided to a player free of charge or for any other consideration. This paragraph does not apply to the winning of a free play;

(3)   The Flare of all deals in play shall be posted in a conspicuous place;

(4)   The play of breakopen tickets shall be clearly identified as a single deal or a commingled deal. If a commingled deal is played, the flare of the last deal played shall be posted;

(5)   House rules governing the sale of breakopen tickets shall be posted in such a manner that players have access to the house rules before buying any breakopen ticket;

(6)   A player shall not be paid any prize unless the player redeems the actual winning breakopen ticket. A prize payout shall not be made to any player for a lost, marked, defaced, damaged or altered breakopen ticket;

(7)   A player shall not be paid a prize for any ticket which has been removed from the location where the game is conducted;

(8)   The organization shall pay a winning player immediately;

(9)   All winning breakopen tickets shall have the winning symbol or number defaced or punched immediately after redemption;

(10)   Placing only a part of a deal out for play is prohibited.

(11)   A copy of the distributor's invoice for each breakopen ticket deal in play and for each breakopen ticket deal on the premises shall be maintained at the location of the charity game and shall be available for inspection by the Commission.

(d)   Two or more single deals of breakopen tickets may be commingled in one receptacle subject to the following:

(1)   The deals shall be identical as to a particular type of game and as to the number of breakopen tickets per game;

(2)   Each deal shall have a separate flare and manufacturer's serial number; and

(3)   The flares shall be identical as to the price per ticket, the amount of prizes, and the denominations of prizes.

(e)   All records, reports, and receipts relating to a deal of breakopen tickets in play shall be retained at the location and thereafter retained by the organization for a period of three (3) years and made available on demand to the Commission.

(f)   Breakopen ticket games paying sixty percent (60%) or more of gross revenues as prizes are considered approved when the Commission receives from a licensed manufacturer a current catalog of breakopen ticket games which comply with the standards of the North American Gaming Regulators Association (NAGRA) for breakopen ticket games. If a game is not in the manufacturer's current catalog, the manufacturer shall submit the game to the Commission prior to its sale in Oklahoma, along with an affidavit stating that the game was manufactured in compliance with North American Gaming Regulators Association (NAGRA) standards. No breakopen ticket game will be approved unless prize payout on the game is equal to or exceeds sixty percent (60%) of gross revenue generated by the sale of all tickets in the game.
