1. In addition to the rules under section 4 above, the following apply to the use of electronic beano card dauber and computer systems.
2. Electronic daubers shall not be reserved for any player. However, an electronic dauber may be reserved for a player with a disability that would restrict the ability to mark paper tally cards when such disability is consistent with definitions set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If there are no requests for use of this reserved dauber prior to fifteen (15) minutes before the scheduled start of the occasion, it may be made available for use by any player.
3. At the time of sale of any electronic Beano cards and prior to releasing the electronic dauber to the player, the licensee must print a hard copy of any electronic cards purchased by the player. An electronic Beano card player cannot exchange the cards being played until completion of a Beano game. In order to exchange the cards being played, the player must return the electronic dauber, and the hard copy of any previously-purchased electronic Beano cards, to the registrant for loading and printing of the new cards.
4. No electronic dauber shall be programmed to play more than 54 Beano cards in a single game.
5. The electronic Beano card player must input each number called by the registrant into the memory of the electronic dauber by use of a separate dauber function. Automatic or global marking of numbers is prohibited.
6. After commencing the first game, and until the end of the occasion, there shall be no electronic communication from the electronic dauber to the electronic Beano card computer system or any other electronic destination or from the electronic Beano card computer system to any other electronic destination. However, the Bingo caller may advance the game and/or any part of the game for the electronic daubers from the calling station.
