The master computer will then be linked over the Internet to the MN Gambling Control Board which oversees these lawful gambling devices. An electronic pull-tab is a hand-held device that is about the size of a tablet computer (like an iPad), which will be linked wirelessly to a master computer within a licensed on-sale bar/restaurant. This included the Electronic Pull-tabs and Electronic Bingo portion of the proposal (minus video lottery machines aka slots) Since there has been some confusion as to exactly what are Electronic Pull-tabs and Bingo, we will provide you with a few facts: In fact 2/3rds of the proposal already passed 4 legislative committees in the 2011 legislative session. There is a good chance that the Profit Minnesota proposal (the MLBA gambling initiative and grass roots campaign) will get serious consideration this year in the 2012 Legislative Session.
Electronic pull-tabs are not meant to replace paper pull-tabs, but will give players a new “modern” way to play electronically. The devices will be obtained from a pull-tab booth operator or from the bartender most anytime during regular hours of the establishment. There will be a limit of 6 or 12 electronic pull-tab devices depending on the size of the bar/restaurant. Once the device is out of credits, more can be loaded, or if the machine has credits left they can be “cashed in.” The device will be loaded with a set amount of credits purchased by the user.
The device will “mimic” the traditional bingo paper card however, no ink “dauber” will be used. It will be played on a separate machine from the Electronic Pull-tab machine (described above). It will be played on a hand-held device that can play up to 36 bingo cards electronically.
