Player select is a special game of bingo in which players purchase specially constructed player select cards approved by the commission upon which players enter bingo numbers of their choice. Player select is conducted as follows:
(a)each player select card, which shall comprise an original and one carbon-less copy, shall contain four or more blank spaces into which players enter numbers of their choice. Player select cards may, if approved in writing by the commission, bear one or more free spaces;
(b)prior to the commencement of the game, each participating player enters the bingo numbers of such player’s choice, ranging from 1 to 75, inclusive, into the blank spaces on the player select card. No number entered on the same player select card shall be repeated;
(c)the completed original player select card is retained by the licensed authorized organization and the carbon-less copy is provided to the purchasing player for use during the designated player select game;
(d)if the licensed authorized organization verifies that all of the numbers entered on a player select card and marked with a standard ink dauber by a player match the numbers announced by the bingo caller during the designated player select game, that player is declared a winner. If there are two or more winners in a single player select game, the established prize shall be divided equally among those winners in accordance with section 4820.27 of this Part;
(e)the prize in a player select game shall be listed on the application for the bingo license and on the licensed authorized organization's bingo program required under section 4820.39 of this Part; and
(f)the aggregate prizes awarded during a player select game and the regular or special game in which it is simultaneously played, if any, shall not exceed the amounts set forth in General Municipal Law sections 479(5), (6) and 481(1)(a).
