What, exactly, can I take out of the game?

Section 47.01(4)(B) describes qualifying amusement devices awarding only noncash merchandise, toys or novelties, or credits redeemable for those items. For one play, the wholesale value is capped at the lower of $5 or ten times the play price. A promise of a bank transfer is a materially different award. Record the item, its value and the mode in which it was won. A collectible card that stays in your deck does not describe the gift card offered for redeemable coins on the same platform.

For a game with a deck and a separate prize balance, trace the card and the coins through one example. For the distinctions between types of games, compare the models.

Next change: no future effective date for either model is confirmed in the sources cited here.
