Tri-color bingo game; use of commission-approved tri-colored bingo opportunities.
Executive Department
(a) Tri-color bingo shall be conducted only using commission-approved bingo opportunities marked with indelible ink daubers.
(b) Tri-color bingo games may be conducted as an early bird game in which the prize for each of the three colors is based on a percentage of the gross receipts from the sale of bingo opportunities to participate in that game, pursuant to section 4820.50 of this Part, or the prizes may be based on fixed dollar amounts awarded for each color. In either case, the percentage of sales to be awarded for each color, or the dollar amount of the fixed prize to be awarded for each color, shall be listed on both the organization's application for license and the bingo program.
(c) The dollar amount of the prize to be awarded in each color category shall be announced prior to the calling of the first number in each tri-color game.
(d) When it is determined that there is one winner in a tri-color game, the winner shall be awarded the prize corresponding with the color of the winning face-card.
(e) When it is determined that there are multiple winners in a tri-color game on face-cards of the same color, the dollar amount of the prize corresponding with that color shall be divided by the number of winners, and each winner shall be awarded an equal share.
(f) When it is determined that there are multiple winners in a tri-color game on face-cards of different colors, the winner in each color shall be awarded the dollar amount of the prize scheduled for that color, divided by the total number of winners in all colors for that game. For example, if there are three winners on one color, two winners on a second color and one winner on the third color, the three winners on the first color will each be awarded one-sixth of the dollar amount of the prize for that color; the two winners on the second color will each receive one-sixth of the dollar amount of the prize for the second color; and the sole winner on the third color shall be awarded one-sixth of the dollar amount of the prize for the third color.
