Game name, rules, and options such as the purchase or wager amount stated clearly and unambiguously;

For Class II Gaming Systems, the prize schedule or other explanation need not state that subsets of winning patterns are not awarded as additional prizes (for example, five in a row does not also pay three in a row or four in a row), unless there are exceptions, which must be clearly stated.

Disclaimers. The Player Interface must continually display:

“Malfunctions void all prizes and plays” or equivalent; and

“Actual Prizes Determined by Bingo (or other applicable Class II game) Play. Other Displays for Entertainment Only” or equivalent.
