(a)Players shall purchase only the uppermost bingo opportunity or package of opportunities forming a stack of such opportunities, and shall be prohibited from selecting any bingo opportunity by its face-card, except that in a supercard game players choose their cards, and in a player select game players enter numbers of their choice on their player select cards. Opportunities shall be printed on only one side of any card. No player shall be given the opportunity to determine the selection of any particular bingo face-card on the basis of the numbers appearing thereon, except with respect to supercard games and player select games. At no time during an occasion shall any opportunity or opportunities be transferred or exchanged, except if such opportunity or opportunities be defective or a duplicate of a face-card purchased by the same player or an opportunity for a pre-drawn bingo game exchanged pursuant to section 4820.51 of this Part. The provisions of this section shall apply to the conduct of all bingo games.
(b)Players leaving a bingo occasion for the remainder of an occasion shall surrender their bingo opportunities to participate in all remaining games to a member-in-charge upon departure, and such opportunities shall not be sold, transferred, or played by any other person during such occasion.
