61 Pa. Code § 901.734 — Punchboard and pull-tab inventory and retention

A licensed eligible organization shall control and account for punchboard and pull-tab games as follows: (1) A licensed eligible organization shall closely monitor punchboards and pull-tab games purchased to assure that serial numbers are correctly entered in records and that each punchboard and pull-tab game purchased is recorded. The following control procedures apply: (i) By the close of business on the last day of a licensed eligible organization’s license term and before operating punchboards and pull-tab games after that date, the licensed eligible organization shall take a physical inventory of punchboards and pull-tab games in play and awaiting play and record the following information separately for punchboards and pull-tab games: (A) The name of the game. (B) The serial or series number. (C) The form number. (ii) At the time punchboards and pull-tab games are delivered, a licensed eligible organization shall assure that purchase invoice data is correct by comparing the actual serial numbers on each punchboard or pull-tab game to the numbers entered on the purchase invoices. (iii) The purchases of punchboards or pull-tab games shall be recorded on a standard distributor’s invoice, which includes space for the licensed eligible organization to either attach a records entry label or enter the serial number and the date the punchboard or the pull-tab game was placed out for play. For punchboards or pull-tab games purchased, the licensed eligible organization shall enter the data and the serial number in the space on the invoice, adjacent to the distributors entry, by either attaching a records entry label or by written entry. (2) A punchboard or pull-tab game which is removed from play, unplayed punches or pull-tabs and winning punches or pull-tabs for prizes in excess of $100 shall be retained by the licensed eligible organization for at least 2 years following the last day of the month in which it was removed from play. The board, unplayed punches or pull-tabs, flare and winning punches or pull-tabs must remain available for inspection on the licensed premises. (3) A punchboard or pull-tab game which is not placed out for public play or is not returned to the distributor from whom it was originally purchased must be retained on the licensed premises and made available for inspection for at least 2 years.
