# §547.16. What are the minimum standards for game artwork, glass, and rules?

- (a) **Rules, instructions, and prize schedules, generally.** The following must at all times be displayed or made readily available to the player upon request:
  - (1) Game name, rules, and options such as the purchase or wager amount stated clearly and unambiguously;
  - (2) Denomination;
  - (3) Instructions for play on, and use of, the player interface, including the functions of all buttons; and
  - (4) A prize schedule or other explanation, sufficient to allow a player to determine the correctness of all prizes awarded, including:
    - (i) The range and values obtainable for any variable prize;
    - (ii) Whether the value of a prize depends on the purchase or wager amount; and
    - (iii) The means of division of any pari-mutuel prizes; but
    - (iv) For Class II Gaming Systems, the prize schedule or other explanation need not state that subsets of winning patterns are not awarded as additional prizes (for example, five in a row does not also pay three in a row or four in a row), unless there are exceptions, which must be clearly stated.
- (b) **Disclaimers.** The Player Interface must continually display:
  - (1) “Malfunctions void all prizes and plays” or equivalent; and
  - (2) “Actual Prizes Determined by Bingo (or other applicable Class II game) Play. Other Displays for Entertainment Only” or equivalent.
- (c) **Odds notification.** If the odds of winning any advertised top prize exceeds 100 million to one, the Player Interface must display: “Odds of winning the advertised top prize exceeds 100 million to one” or equivalent.
