(1) Operators must sell bingo cards before they select the first number for a specific game:
- (a) If operators sell cards after the start of the game, they must ensure that the late sale does not allow any player an advantage over another player; and
- (b) Bingo hard cards purchased or exchanged after the first number is selected for a specific game may only be used during later games; and
- (c) Operators must not allow players to select specific bingo cards after the first number is selected for a specific game.
- (2) Operators must sell all cards for a specific prize for the same price. The cards sold for a specific prize must be distinctive and easy to tell apart from all other bingo cards in play.
- (3) Operators may sell similar cards used to participate for the same prize at a volume discount if they record each separate discount price with an identification code or cash register key that provides for an audit trail.
