Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 19, October 7, 2024

Section 13:69F-15.4 - Issuance of keno tickets

(a) Unless a player uses a previously generated keno ticket as a keno writer request, requests a quick-pick or makes a verbal wager, a player shall request the issuance of a keno ticket by completing a keno request and submitting the request to a keno writer or a keno runner, as applicable. The player shall complete a keno request by placing some type of distinguishing mark over the number or numbers he or she wishes to play. Prior to submitting the keno request to a keno writer or keno runner, the player shall properly condition and price the keno request in accordance with the information set forth in the rate card of the casino licensee.

(b) Keno requests shall contain, at a minimum, the following:

1. A grid listing the numbers 1 through 80;

2. An area to record the number of games to be played;

3. An area to record the dollar value of each wager;

4. An area to record the conditioning;

5. An area for the total price of the ticket; and

6. In the case of a keno runner request, an area to identify the particular game or games to be played.

(c) The keno writer shall input the information on the player's keno request, previously issued keno ticket or verbal keno wager into the keno computer system, in accordance with the casino licensee's internal control procedures. This action shall cause a one-part sequentially numbered keno ticket to be printed. Upon receipt of currency, coin, gaming chips, coupons or slot tokens in an amount equal to or greater than the total price of the keno ticket from the player or keno runner, the keno writer shall issue the keno ticket and, if due, any change to the player or keno runner. The keno ticket shall contain, at a minimum, the following:

1. The date and time of issuance;

2. The keno work station number where the ticket was issued;

3. The numbers selected by the patron listed in a clearly identifiable manner;

4. The number of games to be played;

5. The first and last game number;

6. The conditioning;

7. The rate of each wager;

8. The number of ways played;

9. The total price of the keno ticket;

10. The identification code of the keno writer;

11. A representation as to the maximum keno limit for each game and an indication as to how that limit will be distributed to winners;

12. A statement that winning patrons must present a computer generated keno ticket in order to collect winnings; and

13. A conspicuous notice that the keno ticket must be redeemed within one year of its date issuance or the obligation of the casino licensee to pay the patron will expire.

(d) If a casino licensee permits multi-race keno tickets, one keno request shall be used for all of the games to be wagered by the player. The player shall be required to pay for the wager prior to the start of the first game and shall not be paid for any winning games until the completion of the last game for which the multi-race keno ticket was issued unless the remaining races on the multi-race keno ticket are cancelled. A casino licensee may permit a player to receive a refund on a multi-race keno ticket for those games not drawn; provided, however, that the keno computer system is capable of generating adequate documentation for the refund and the procedures governing the refund transaction are in accordance with the casino licensee's internal control procedures.

(e) A keno writer may void a keno ticket prior to the start of the game for which the keno ticket was issued. A multi-race keno ticket may only be voided, in its entirety, prior to the start of the first game for which the keno ticket was generated. The method for voiding keno tickets shall be in accordance with the casino licensee's internal control procedures. Each keno computer system shall be capable of maintaining, on a daily basis, a listing of voided keno tickets for each keno work station.
