NOTICES

Pennsylvania Lottery 25th Anniversary TV Game Show

[27 Pa.B. 1106]

   In accordance with 61 Pa. Code § 869.9(c) (relating to description of the Pennsylvania Lottery 25th Anniversary TV Game Show), that enables the Department to add additional games to the Pennsylvania Lottery 25th Anniversary TV Game Show by publishing a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin prior to the taping of the show, the Department hereby announces a game entitled Free Fall. Free Fall will be played during the Pennsylvania Lottery 25th Anniversary TV Game Show. A description of Free Fall is as follows:

   1.  The Free Fall is a rectangular semivertical device that contains several rows of pegs. At the bottom of the device, below the pegs, are eight individual slots. On one side of the device is a launching mechanism consisting of a spring-loaded piston that is released when the contestant pulls a lever. This action propels a ping-pong ball upward to the top of the device. At this point the ball drops a few inches to a funneled position created by two flippers in constant motion. This randomly directs the ball to a point along the top row of pegs. As the ball drops, it randomly bounces on and through the pegs until it lands in one of eight slots at the bottom.

   2.  To play the game, the contestant launches the ping-pong balls one at a time. Each time a ball lands in a vacant slot, as determined by the bottom of the ball having passed the midpoint on the pair of brass pins immediately above the slot, the contestant wins the amount of money identified with that slot. The money accumulates with each succeeding drop into an empty slot. However, if a ball lands in a slot that already contains a ball, the contestant receives no additional money and earns a strike. At two strikes, the contestant is given a choice to either stop and keep the contestant's current winnings or to continue playing. If the contestant continues and the next ball launched lands in a vacant slot, the contestant's current accumulated prize total is doubled. However, if the contestant earns a third strike, the contestant loses half of the accumulated prize total, and the game is over. Each time the accumulated prize total is successfully doubled, the contestant is again offered the same options, and play continues until the first event of any one of the following occurs:

   (a)  If after any successful doubling of a contestant's winnings, the amount of winnings if doubled once again, would exceed the prize dollar limit as determined by the Lottery, then the game is deemed over.

   (b)  After a successful doubling, the contestant chooses to stop and keep the contestant's winnings.

   (c)  All the slots are successfully filled, before reaching the prize dollar limit.

   (d)  A third strike occurs.
