ELECTRONIC GAMING MACHINE
“Electronic gaming machine” means an electrically or electronically
operated machine or device that is used by a sweepstakes entrant and that
displays the results of a game entry or game outcome to a participant on a
screen or other mechanism at a business location, including a private club,
that is owned, leased, or otherwise possessed, in whole or in part, by a
person conducting the sweepstakes or by that person’s partners, affiliates,
subsidiaries, agents, or contractors.
“Electronic gaming machine” includes a machine or device that: uses
a simulated game terminal as a representation of the prizes associated with
the results of the sweepstakes entries; uses software that simulates a game
that influences or determines the winning or value of the prize, or appears
to influence or determine the winning or value of the prize; selects prizes
from a predetermined, finite pool of entries; uses a mechanism that reveals
the content of a predetermined sweepstakes entry; predetermines the prize
results and stores those results for delivery when the sweepstakes entry is
revealed; uses software to create a game result; requires a deposit of any
currency or token or the use of any credit card, debit card, prepaid card, or
other method of payment to activate the machine or device; requires direct
payment into the machine or device or remote activation of the machine or
device upon payment to the person offering the sweepstakes game;
requires the purchase of a related product at additional cost in order to
participate in the sweepstakes game or makes a related product available
for no cost but under restrictive conditions; reveals a sweepstakes prize
incrementally even though the progress of the images on the screen does
not influence whether a prize is awarded or the value of any prize
awarded; or determines and associates the prize with an entry or entries at
the time the sweepstakes is entered.
