FROM: Councilman Wilson /
RE: Charitable Gambling Amendments
DATE: December 24, 1985
Because of the questions raised by Councilmember Sonnen about the use of the
term " payback " when refering to prizes awarded to players, I have researched
various state and local bodies to identify language that more clearly stated
the purpose. 1�ie State Gambling Board confirmed that the general language
" payback " is a corrunon and correct use. However, language in a proposed
ordinance for the City of Bloomington appears to be closer to wha.t we are
trying to co�nunicate.
Specifically, the proposed ordinance states that the organization ". . shall
not use a tipboard, pull-tab or jar ticket which does not return to the
players a minimLUn of 80%, which percentage s�a.11 include free plays awarded."
I recorrnnend that we adopt a range of 75% to 80% return to players as a part of
our ordinance. This would offer a wide variety of games, while still keeping
uniformity throughout the city. The language would read as follows:
Page 7
s) The charitable organization shall not use a
pull-tab or tipboard which does not return
to the players a minimwn percentage o 75%,
nor a maximwn ercenta e o 800, which
percentage shall include ree plavs awarded.
I would also reco�nend that we amend the effective date of the ordinance to
60 days after passage, ratlier than 30 days. This should then give the city
adequate time to train managers from the organizations, and also provide an
overall period to settle any other issues that may arise.

Dear Councilman Wilson:
This is regarding the ordinance which you requested which would
permit the selling of pull-tabs by charitable organizations
in on-sale liquor establishments. I have now prepared the
provisions which would establish the special fund and license
gambling managers . The attached draft should be submitted
as an amendment to the pending ordinance by substituting a
new page 7 together with additional pages 8 and 9.
You will note that I have added one additional provision to
the original section 4 of the ordinance. This is found at
the top of page 7 under subclause "o" which would establish
a maximum compensation for gambling managers of $50 per week.
This would tie in with the new proposed Section 6, which also
contains the provision for the maximum compensation for gambling
managers .
If you have any questions regarding this draft or the original
draft of ordinance, please contact me.
