• Code Section 12-21-3920(15) defines a “Player” to mean: One who participates in a game of bingo other than as an agent, promoter, or representative of the house.
• Code Section 12-21-3920(20) defines an “Electronic dabber” to mean: A hand-held electronic device that allows a player to store, display, and mark bingo card faces that have been downloaded or activated as authorized by the bingo ticket.
• Code Section 12-21-4007(A)(2)(h) reads: An electronic dabber must only be used for one unit for each player, at any time during the bingo session. A player may purchase additional cards to be marked manually, but not for use with an electronic dabber.

1. Each player only maintains, controls, and/or marks one electronic dabber during a game.
2. At no time during a session may a player maintain, control, and/or mark more than one electronic dabber.

• Example 1 - Player “A” leaves during a session. Player “A” may give their electronic dabber to Player “C”. Player “A” may not give their electronic dabber to Player “B” as Player “B” controls their own electronic dabber and would violate code section 12-21-4007(A)(2)(h) by allowing a player to used multiple electronic dabbers during a bingo session. 
• Example 2 – Player “A” goes to the restroom during a session and in-between games. Player “A” may allow Player “C” to mark his or her electronic dabber in her absence. Player “A” may not allow Player “B” to mark his or her electronic dabber in her absence since this would violate code section 12-21-4007(A)(2)(h) by allowing a player to use multiple electronic dabbers during a bingo session.

• Code Section 12-21-3990(A)(2) reads: The game of bingo must be played in the following manner: Before each game begins, the caller shall announce to the players the configuration or configurations that will win the game. A configuration consists of a number of grids covered in the manner announced by the caller. Any method of playing the games is allowed if the method is announced before each game's beginning including, but not limited to, wild card games. In addition, any time before the conclusion of the game, the prize, specifically stating the dollar amount or value of merchandise awarded to the winner or winners for the game, must be announced.
• Code Section 12-21-3990(A)(3) reads: The game of bingo must be played in the following manner: The prize must be awarded to the winner of that game without delay. For multiple winners, the prize must be divided equally among the winners. In the case of a merchandise prize, the cash value of the merchandise may be divided among the winners. Purchase receipts of merchandise awarded as prizes must be made available to players and the department for confirmation of value.

• Example 1 – Two Players are verified as winners. Caller announces, “Two Winners splitting $20” or “Two Winners winning $10 each”. Both of these announcements are in compliance with Title 12.
• Example 2 – Three Players are verified as winners. Caller announces, “Three Winners splitting $20”. This is a violation of Section 12-21-3990(A)(3) due to the fact that $20 cannot be divided evenly among three winners. It may be a violation of 12-21-3990(A)(2) if the bingo actually paid out a prize of $21 or $19.50 (the bingo did not announce the actual payout prior to the conclusion of the game).
• Example 3 – Three Players are verified as winners. To remain in compliance with Title 12, the caller may announce the payout 1 of 4 ways, depending upon the bingo’s decision on the total amount to payout:
  • “Three Winners splitting $21.00”
  • “Three Winners splitting $19.50”
  • “Three winners each receiving $6.50 for a total payout of $19.50”
  • “Three winners each receiving $6.66 for a total payout of $19.98”
  • “Three winners each receiving $7.00 for a total payout of $21.00”
