Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 13:47-7.51
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The prize pool in a multi-color bingo game shall be a percentage of the gross receipts derived from the sale of cards to participate in the game. The percentage of the prize pool to which a winner is entitled shall be determined by the color of the card upon which the player achieves bingo.
(b) Based upon a single winner the prize shall be awarded as follows:
1. When a player
achieves bingo on a card in the group of three cards of the same color, that
player wins 25 percent of the prize pool. Formula: Gross receipts from the sale
of cards multiplied by .25 equals the dollar amount to be awarded in the 25
percent category.
2. When a player
achieves bingo on one of the two cards of the same color, that player wins 50
percent of the prize pool. Formula: Gross receipts from the sale of cards
multiplied by .50 equals the dollar amount to be awarded in the 50 percent
category.
3. When a player achieves
bingo on one of the single cards having the third color, that player wins 75
percent of the prize pool. Formula: Gross receipts from the sale of cards
multiplied by .75 equals the dollar amount to be awarded in the 75 percent
category.
(c) In the case of multiple winners, the prize amount available in each prize pool category shall be divided by the total number of winners of the game as follows:
1. Example: There are six winners of
a multi-color bingo game.
i. There are three
of the winners who have achieved bingo on one of the cards in the group of
three cards of the same color, the 25 percent category. That amount, 25 percent
of the prize pool, is divided by six to determine the amount to be awarded to
each of those three winners. Formula: Gross receipts from the sale of cards
multiplied by .25 equals the dollar amount available in the 25 percent
category. That dollar amount is then divided by the total number of winners of
the game which equals the dollar amount to be awarded to each winner in the 25
percent category.
ii. There are two
winners who have achieved bingo on one of the cards in the group of two cards
having the same color, the 50 percent category. That amount, 50 percent of the
prize pool, is divided by six to determine the amount to be awarded to each
winner in the 50 percent category. Formula: Gross receipts from the sale of
cards multiplied by .50 equals the dollar amount available in the 50 percent
category. That dollar amount divided by the total number of winners of the game
equals the total dollar amount to be awarded to each winner in the 50 percent
category.
iii. There is one winner
who has achieved bingo on the single card having a third color, the 75 percent
category. That amount, 75 percent of the prize pool, is divided by six to
determine the amount to be awarded to the winner in that category. Formula:
Gross receipts from the sale of cards multiplied by .75 equals the dollar
amount available in the 75 percent category. That dollar amount divided by the
total number of winners of the game equals the dollar amount to be awarded to
each winner in the 75 percent category.
