(2)(a) Ticket Purchase: Tickets may be purchased either from a terminal operated by a retailer, i.e., a clerk-operated terminal, or from a terminal operated by the player, i.e., a player-operated terminal. To play Keno, a player must complete a game slip for insertion into a terminal, request a Quick Pick from a clerk, or request a Quick Pick using a player-operated terminal. (b) Completing a Game Slip: A player must choose a game play by one of two methods. A player may select from one to ten numbers from the eighty number choices contained on the game slip. Alternatively, the player may select the Quick Pick option. A player must also complete the selections on the game slip regarding the amount of money to be played on the ticket per drawing, and the number of multiple, consecutive drawings in which to play the ticket. The player may select from any or all of the following options as provided in these rules: (A) The Special Keno option; (B) The Keno Multiplier option; (C) The Bulls-Eye option; and (D) The Keno To Go option. (c) Purchasing a Ticket from a Clerk-Operated Terminal: After the player completes a game slip and submits it along with the price of the ticket to the clerk, the clerk shall use the terminal to issue a ticket to the player. The player may also request that a clerk, without using a game slip, electronically submit a request for a Quick Pick through the terminal with the player informing the clerk of the wager amount, the number of spots to be played, the Keno or Special Keno option, the Keno Multiplier option, the Bulls-Eye option, the number of multiple, consecutive drawings to be played, the number of tickets, and whether the player wants the Keno To Go option. (d) Purchasing a Ticket from a Player-Operated Terminal: A player may purchase a ticket from a player-operated terminal by following the instructions appearing on the screen of the terminal. Once the player has inserted the player’s money into the terminal, verified the player’s age, completed the game slip and inserted it into the terminal, the terminal will issue a ticket to the player. The player may also request a Quick Pick without using a game slip by using the player-operated terminal. A player requesting a Quick Pick from a player-operated terminal without using a game slip must select the wager amount, the number of spots to be played, the Keno or Special Keno option, the Keno Multiplier option, the Bulls-Eye option, the number of multiple, consecutive drawings to be played, the number of tickets, and whether the player wants the Keno To Go option.
