House-banked card game licensees must not reduce the amount of a progressive jackpot prize accrued or displayed except for the following reasons:
(1) To reduce the jackpot and the advertised amount by the amount won; or
(2) To correct an amount displayed incorrectly because of malfunctioning equipment; or
(3) To correct the display when the amount displayed is greater than the predetermined maximum prize limit; or
(4) To reduce a reserve or secondary jackpot as long as they record the funds removed as gross receipts and properly documented that in their records; or
(5) To reduce a reserve or secondary jackpot to recover seed money that was not taken from gross receipts, if they properly document those funds in their records; or
(6) To reduce the jackpot by the dollar amount they paid for merchandise they award as prizes.
(7) To reduce a reserve or secondary jackpot to immediately seed a different progressive jackpot if the licensee properly documents this transfer in their records.
