    (B) General design.

    (1) Game rule number eight hundred sixty-one is an instant lottery game within which are contained eight separate games referred to as "Card 1" through "Card 8" with a "Prize Multiplier" play spot on the ticket. The player scratches off the covering over the "Caller's Card" to reveal thirty-two bingo numbers, plus "5 Bonus Numbers" for a total of thirty-seven bingo numbers. The Player then scratches off the covering for all corresponding numbers contained on "Card 1" through "Card 8" on each ticket. Each "Card" shall contain twenty-four numbers with a "Free" space in the middle. Prizes may be won if the matched numbers revealed on any one "Card" form the following: a complete horizontal or vertical line of five matched spaces or four matched spaces and the "Free" space in the middle; a diagonal line of four matched spaces and the "Free" space in the middle; matching numbers in all four corners; and matching all twenty-four numbers with the "Free" space in the middle creating a "Blackout." The prizes available are printed above each "Card." The player then scratches the "Prize Multiplier" play area to reveal a multiplying number which may include the number "1," "2," "3," "4," "5," "6," "8," or "10," or the "TPD" prize symbol. The player will multiply the total prize amount won in the main play area by the "Prize Multiplier" number revealed to determine the total prize award.
