Q & A Minnesota Gambling Control Board
June 1 Lawful Gambling Restart Q & A, Page 1, May 28, 2020
Q. Can a bar have a window that opens to the outside to sell paper pull-tabs and electronic pull-tabs to customers who come up to the window?
A. Yes.
Q. How many paper pull-tab deals need to be available to customers in order to also sell electronic pull-tabs?
A. One. The pull-tab game can have regular multi-ply window tickets or jar tickets.
Q. Can a seller bring paper pull-tab games on a cart or tray to sell directly to the player outside?
A. Yes, so long as the entire deal, flare, and house rules are visible to the player at the point of purchase.
Q. Can a seller collect money from a player outside who is able to see the flare, house rules, and pull-tab container that is located inside, and subsequently go inside to collect the pull-tab ticket or electronic device and return that ticket/device to the player outside?
A. Yes, so long as the same individual who collects the money from the player is the same seller who is authorized to go inside and conduct the lawful gambling.
Q. In full view of the player, will the waitstaff be able to collect money for paper pull-tabs or electronic devices and go inside to the bar to get the tickets/electronic device from the actual seller, and then deliver them back to the player outside?
A. No. The player must complete the purchase while outdoors without any intermediary.
Q. Will customers be allowed to go inside a bar/restaurant to purchase pull-tabs from a pull-tab dispensing device if they take the tickets back outside to open them?
A. No. Customers may not go inside to purchase any gambling equipment. Organizations would be allowed to bring the dispensing device outside if they’re able to do so (see last question below). The outdoor pull-tab dispensing device would need to be in a location where it’s visible by bar/restaurant staff.
Q. Can customers go inside to purchase electronic pull-tabs?
A. No. Customers are not allowed in the building. This is per the governor’s announcement allowing bars and restaurants to open for business outdoors only.
Q. If a bar has seating for 300 people and no executive order restrictions, it can have up to 12 electronic devices. However, in compliance with the Executive Order 20-63, if the number of seats is reduced to only 50 people outside, is that site’s limit now 6 devices?
A. No. The executive order limiting the number of customers would not reduce the 12 devices allowed.
Q. If an organization conducts gambling from midnight to 2:00 AM on June 1, is that activity reported as May or June receipts?
A. Normally for lawful gambling reporting purposes, receipts from midnight to 2:00 AM are considered as part of the previous business day’s receipts. However, given that bars and restaurants will not be open on May 31 (the last day of May), it will be acceptable to combine the June 1 midnight to 2:00 AM receipts with the receipts from the June 1 business day’s receipts.

Q. Once lawful gambling sales resume inside the building, if pull-tab boxes were being sold outside, will those open boxes be allowed for continued sale inside or will those boxes need to be closed and start only new boxes inside?
A. When organizations resume pull-tab sales inside, organizations will be allowed to move inside those pull-tab games that were in play outside but not yet closed.
Q. Are there any concerns with bringing a pull-tab dispensing device outside?
A. Yes. Although there are no specific restrictions on locating a pull-tab dispensing device outdoors, please consider the following:
• Devices can be 300 lbs. without tickets.
• Some devices can be moved with a two-wheel cart, while others would require a four-wheel flat cart. Dispensing devices are top heavy and cannot be left on a cart.
• Dispensing devices are not made for outdoor use and must be taken inside each night.
• Tickets may swell with humidity which may cause jamming.
• Moving a dispensing device can also cause jamming.
• Dispensing devices should be kept out of the direct sun; the screens are difficult to see in the sun, and buttons may melt.

The United States Supreme court recently ruled in favor of permitting all states the opportunity to allow sports wagering. It will be the decision of each state to consider what forms of sports wagering will be allowed. A form of sports wagering, known as sports-themed tipboards, has been allowed by law in Minnesota since 2012 (Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.12, subdivision 34). However, because federal law restricted wagering on the outcome of sporting events, the Minnesota Gambling Control Board held off on approving any sports-themed tipboard games until the Court decided.
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided in favor of legalized sports betting in all states, sports-themed tipboards can move forward in Minnesota. BUT…. the only current legal form of sports tipboards in Minnesota is allowed under charitable gambling and the Minnesota Gambling Control Board. Any other form of sports wagering or sports tipboards is still illegal at this time.
The Minnesota Gambling Control Board is working with licensed game manufacturers to establish game standards for the sports-themed tipboards. There are primarily two forms of such a game: 1) a game which features a grid for players to register and has “seals” that hide the numbers that relate to the score of a game; and 2) a game with sealed tickets (“tips”) that hide the score combination. (Other game formats are being reviewed, too.)
The Board is working within existing laws and rules pertaining to “tipboards” – a current form of legal charitable gambling – for the immediate launch of the sports-themed tipboards and will be working to modify the rules to allow other variations of the sports-themed tipboards as allowed under Minnesota law.
What This Means for On-Sale Liquor Establishments
Only sports-themed tipboards approved by the Gambling Control Board and offered through charitable gambling sites will be allowed for sale. Any other form of sports wagering would still be considered illegal (we expect to see additional clarification from our counterparts at the Department of Public Safety, Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division, in the coming months).
In light of this new allowance, we expect to see charitable gambling representatives working closely with bar owners to establish this form of gaming. We also expect to see increased enforcement and monitoring for illegal sports wagering, so if your establishment is interested in sports-themed tipboards, connect with your local charity. The Board is hopeful of having the new sports-themed tipboards available for sale very soon.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Sports-Themed Tipboards
The Board is already receiving many questions about sports-themed tipboard games. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked:
Q. What is a sports-themed tipboard?
A. A sports-themed tipboard is a tipboard game based on the outcome of a professional (not amateur or college) sporting event. There will be variations on how the games are structured, but all winning chances will be based on the score of a game.
Q. Are sports-themed tipboards legal in Minnesota?
A. Yes. In 2012, a law was passed in Minnesota to allow sports-themed tipboards to be sold only by licensed charitable organizations under the regulatory control of the Gambling Control Board. While the Board already has the authority to approve sports-themed tipboards, only sports-themed tipboard games that meet current rules will be considered for immediate approval. The Board is working on rules clarifying the manufacturing standards that will cover additional sports-themed tipboard games.
Q. What does a sports-themed tipboard game look like?
A. Sports-themed tipboards will be very similar to other tipboard games; the only difference is the winning numbers (tickets or chances on a sign-up grid) will be determined by the actual score of a professional sporting event.
Q. How much does a tipboard ticket or chance cost?
A. The maximum price per chance is $10. There is no minimum.
Q. Do all chances on the tipboard have to be sold prior to the start of an event?
A. There can be unsold chances on a tipboard. Sellers must void any unsold chances immediately prior to revealing the seals. If the winner is not sold, the licensed organization keeps the proceeds.
Q. Do we still have to fill out prize receipts?
A. Yes. Prize receipts are required to be filled out for prizes of $100 or more. Each prize is considered a “win” for prize receipt purposes. Some examples:
*If an individual wins a $100 prize at halftime of a professional football game, and the same individual wins another $100 based on the final outcome of the game, the winner must fill out two prize receipts forms—one for each win.
*If an individual wins a $50 prize at halftime, and the same individual wins another $50 at the end of the 3rd quarter, even though the individual won $100 in total, he or she need not fill out a prize receipt form.
14 foot craps table. Q. Do winners have to be present to win?
A. No, players need not be present to win.
Q. Where may sports-themed tipboards be conducted?
A. Sports-themed tipboards may only be conducted through licensed charities at lawful gambling premises. Any other method of conducting sports-themed tipboards is illegal.
Q. What is the maximum payout?
A. The maximum ideal payout is 85%. However, if there are unsold squares or tickets, the actual payout may be higher than 85%.Minnesota Gambling Control Board Forms I-9
Q. How does my organization get a sports-themed tipboard game?
A. Sports-themed tipboard games must be purchased from a licensed distributor. The licensed organization conducting gambling at your premises must contact a distributor sales person in order to purchase these games.
Q. How long do players have to claim a prize?
A. Payment of prizes is usually covered under House Rules. The Board is working to establish guidance on House Rules for sports-themed tipboards. A reasonable amount of time must be allowed for a player to claim a prize, and the current proposal is to allow seven days after the end of the professional sporting event to claim a prize. After that period, the prize value will be retained by the charity.Minnesota Gambling Control Board Forms And Supply
Q. Who do I call if I have other questions?
A. Contact a Gambling Control Board compliance specialist with questions regarding the actual conduct of these games at 651-539-1900. The Board will also try to make information available on our website mn.gov/gbc and in other formats.Minnesota Gambling Control Board Forms Against
Remember, the Board will only be considering games that conform to existing rules (sign-up chances on grids with seals). Other forms of sports-themed tipboard games—for example games with tickets—will be addressed in the upcoming rules.
