the location of and during its licensed bingo occasions or upon premises that are:
(a) Owned, leased, or rented by the bingo-raffle licensee, used as its
principal place of business, and controlled so that admittance to the premises is
limited to the bingo-raffle licensee's members and bona fide guests; or
(b) Owned, leased, or rented by a landlord licensee.
(2) A bingo-raffle licensee may offer a prize to the purchaser of a last sale
ticket in a pull tab game, deal, or series without regard to its winning or nonwinning

a prize may be carried over and increased from one deal to another until a prize is
awarded. The game may include a subsequent pull tab deal bearing a different
serial number from that offered in a previous deal. A licensee shall not offer or give
a prize greater, in amount or value, than five thousand dollars in any progressive
pull tab game. The licensing authority may limit by rule the types of progressive
pull tab games allowed to be sold by supplier licensees.
(b) When a deal of progressive pull tabs is received in two or more packages,
boxes, or other containers, all of the progressive pull tabs from the respective

any computerized or electromechanical facsimile of a pull tab game.
(b) A licensee shall not possess, use, sell, offer for sale, or put into play any
device that reveals the winning or nonwinning status of a pull tab ticket unless the
device has been tested, approved, and licensed pursuant to subsection (6) of this
section and not subsequently altered or tampered with.
(c) Any of the following persons that are found to have violated subsection
(5)(a) of this section are subject to immediate and permanent revocation of all

present.
(6) (a) The licensing authority shall test, inspect, and license every
mechanical, electronic, or electromechanical device that reveals the winning or
nonwinning status of a pull tab ticket before the device is used in charitable
gaming. The licensing authority shall employ an independent contractor to conduct
the tests and inspections, the cost of which shall be borne by the manufacturer or
supplier seeking approval of the device. The licensing authority shall not issue a
license for a device until the device is secured in a manner prescribed by the
licensing authority and the contractor receives payment in full for the cost of all
tests and inspections.
(b) Every person shipping or importing into Colorado a device subject to
subsection (6)(a) of this section shall provide the licensing authority with a copy of
the shipping invoice at the time of shipment. The invoice must contain, at a
minimum, the destination of the shipment and the serial number and description of
each device being transported.
(c) Every person receiving a device subject to subsection (6)(a) of this section
shall, upon receipt of the device, provide the licensing authority with the serial
number and description of each device received and information describing the
location of each device. The requirements of this subsection (6)(c) apply regardless
of whether the device is received from a licensed supplier or from any other source.
(d) A device licensed pursuant to this subsection (6) is licensed for and may

advance.

forms in furtherance of this subsection (6).

and designed to be played on such device; or
(II) Any device that qualifies as a slot machine pursuant to section 9 (4)(c) of
article XVIII of the Colorado constitution.
(g) The prohibition contained in subsection (6)(f) of this section does not
prohibit the licensing of:
(I) A device that merely dispenses pull tab tickets to players; or
(II) A device that merely reads or validates a pull tab ticket inserted by a
player, if:
(A) The pull tab ticket itself displays its winning or nonwinning status so that
use of the device is not required to determine such status; and
(B) The device cannot be used in a manner that would qualify it as a slot
machine pursuant to section 9 (4)(c) of article XVIII of the Colorado constitution.
