WAC 230-16-120   Bingo card manufacturing control system.  (1) In each set of bingo cards, manufacturers must include a control system that:

     (a) Identifies each card by a card number printed on the face of the card. However, we exempt "player selection" game cards from this requirement; and

     (b) Consecutively numbers each sheet of cards within a set. However, if manufacturers have alternative controls and they disclose those to operators, they do not have to number the sheets; and

     (c) Assigns each set of cards manufactured as a specific product line, using the same color and border pattern, and a unique serial number. Manufacturers must print the serial number on each card; and

     (d) Identifies that specific set and each specific card within that set; and

     (e) Tracks the transfer of cards from the point of manufacture to operators; and

     (f) Facilitates sale by the operator to the player.

     (2) We approve all new control systems.
