	(a)  A permittee or an operator shall establish the price for each bingo card, set of bingo cards, or packet of bingo cards before the start of sales for a bingo game or session. A bingo card, set of bingo cards, or packet of bingo cards may not be provided to a player for free, on credit, or at a discount, and the same price per card, whether paper or electronic, must be charged to all players.   
	(b)  A bingo card must be sold at the location of the bingo game where it is to be played. The bingo card must be sold during or immediately before the session for which the bingo card is sold. A bingo card may not be sold if the sale allows a player an advantage over another player. The bingo card may only be played during the session for which the bingo card was sold.  
	(c)  A permittee or operator may not reserve a bingo card or unit of electronic bingo paper for use by a particular player or group of players, and must provide bingo cards and electronic bingo paper to all interested players equally, for as long as bingo cards or units of electronic bingo paper are available, except a braille bingo card may be reserved for use by a player who has a vision impairment.   
	(d)  A permittee or an operator that had annual gross receipts in bingo that exceeded $300,000 during the previous calendar year may not use hard cards.
