House-banked card game licensees offering merchandise prizes for progressive jackpots must:

(1) Own the merchandise prizes and pay for them in full, without lien or interest of others, before they award the merchandise as prizes. If the winner has an option to receive a cash prize instead of the merchandise, licensees may enter into a contract to immediately purchase a merchandise prize after the winner chooses their option; and

(2) Disclose that they used a specific portion of the jackpot funds to buy merchandise to be awarded as prizes, as well as the specific merchandise prizes to be awarded; and

(3) Disclose the value of the merchandise they plan to award. This value must be accurate and verifiable; and

(4) Award the merchandise on the specific outcome of a game and include the outcome in the game rules; and

(5) Keep detailed records, including the purchase invoice, on premises and make them available for our review.
