    "Bingo" and "game" shall mean and include a specific game of chance, commonly known as Bingo, in which prizes are awarded on the basis of matching randomly drawn numbers or symbols on matrices, which are printed with conforming numbers or symbols on paper, card stock or electronically represented and are referred to as cards. Bingo games are governed by, and must be conducted in accordance with, all rules and regulations specified under state and local laws. New York law has strict rules about Bingo which include specific reporting and licensing requirements.

  • Raffle Rules & Approval Process (Click to expand)

    Raffles are games of chance in which people purchase consecutively numbered tickets for the chance to win a prize. Raffles are governed by, and must be conducted in accordance with, all rules and regulations specified under state and local laws. New York law has strict rules about raffles but does allow not-forprofit organizations to conduct raffles and Henrietta Town law requires that certain raffles conducted in the Town of Henrietta be licensed. In order to determine if a raffle must be licensed, RIT requires that every raffle be approved by the RIT Office of Legal Affairs before any tickets are sold. Raffle Approval Forms must be submitted no less than ten (10) business days before the first date of raffle ticket sales and will not be approved.
