1. Logo Cards. This change will restore the ability for house-banked card rooms to use nonlogo cards in their nonhouse-banked card games. The ability was inadvertently removed during the plain talk rewrite of our rules manual, amending WAC 230-15-115. CR-101 WSR 08-22-055, filed November 3, 2008.
2. Fund-raising Events: This change will restore the ability for cash prizes to be awarded at fund-raising events. The ability was inadvertently removed during the plain talk rewrite of our rules manual, amending WAC 230-09-131. CR-101 WSR 08-22-056, filed November 3, 2008.
3. Applicants for a Manufacturer's License: This change will clarify that applicants for a manufacturer's license are required to demonstrate they are able to comply with the manufacturing and quality control restrictions imposed on authorized gambling equipment. The licensing process may include an on-site review of their manufacturing equipment. The requirement was inadvertently removed during the plain talk rewrite of our rules manual, amending WAC 230-03-185. CR-101 WSR 08-22-058, filed November 3, 2008.
4. Card Room Surveillance: This rule change would allow remote access to card room surveillance, new WAC 230-15-267. CR-101 WSR 08-22-062, filed November 3, 2008.
5. Charitable and Nonprofit Organizations: Currently, only Groups IV and V are required to demonstrate significant progress. This change would require all charitable/nonprofit licensees to demonstrate significant progress, amending WAC 230-07-020. CR-101 WSR 08-22-057, filed November 3, 2008.
