§ 5:8-51.
The Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission shall adopt regulations, pursuant
to the “Administrative Procedure Act,” P.L.1968, c. 410 ( C.52:14B-1 et seq. ), authorizing licensees to hold and conduct punch-board games. A “ punch-board ” means a board with a number of openings of uniform size in which the manufacturer
placed, at random, slips of paper or other substances or punches imprinted with numbers
or symbols; where a flare or face sheet covers the openings and sets out the winning
numbers or symbols and which prizes a player may win; and the punches have specific
serial numbers assigned and printed on them. A punch-board game shall allow a player, after buying a punch, to select and remove
the punch from the opening of the punch-board, and, if the number on the selected
punch matches the flare, to win and be awarded the specified prize. The control commission's regulations shall allow the punch-board games to be conducted
under the same license issued for the conduct of pull-tab raffle games, and only one
license shall be required for the conduct of pull-tab, punch-board, or both types
of games. The control commission may specify any other requirements applicable to the conduct
of punch-board games which the commission may deem necessary.
