5. In calculating gross revenue, a licensee may deduct its pro rata share of a payout from a game played in an inter-casino linked system except for a payout made in conjunction with a card game. The amount of the deduction must be determined based upon the written agreement among the licensed gaming establishments participating in the inter-casino linked system and the operator of the system. All cash prizes and the value of noncash prizes awarded during a contest or tournament conducted in conjunction with an inter-casino linked system are also deductible on a pro rata basis to the extent of the compensation received for the right to participate in that contest or tournament. The deductions may be taken only by those participating licensed gaming establishments that held an active gaming license at any time during the month in which the payout was awarded.
