Official Rules

1.      General. By participating in Vegas Baby (“VB”), entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and by the decisions of Vegas Baby Bowling (“VBB”), which shall be binding and final as to all matters related to VB. VB is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and is void where prohibited.

3.      Eligibility. The VB is open to league members and substitutes age eighteen (18) and older and subject to these Official Rules.

4.      Receipt of VB Cards. Bowler Vegas cards may be purchased for $5 each. There are no discounts or complimentary VB cards. VB cards will be available for purchase in-person at the (“Bowling Alley”). Entries which are or appear to be tampered with are void.

VB cards are only valid for the game held on the date of purchase. A minimum of 10 participants are required in order for Vegas Baby to be played.

5.      VB Cards are Not Tax Deductible. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in VB, lotteries, or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of the entry does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution.

6.      Prize. The winning participant will win a prize to be determined by VBB.

7.      Taxes. Each winner shall be responsible for any and all travel, costs, federal, state and local income or excise taxes, fees, assessments and like charges associated with a prize.

8.      Determining a Winner. VB is a game of chance played with randomly drawn numbers which players match against numbers that have been pre-printed on 5x5 matrices. The matrices may be printed on paper or card stock, or electronically represented, and are referred to as cards. A winner is determined when a person achieves a specified pattern (see below) from the drawn numbers. The winner is required to call out the word "VEGAS BABY!" which alerts the other players and caller of a possible win. All wins are checked for accuracy by VBB before the win is officially confirmed at which time the prize is secured. In the event of multiple successful VEGAS BABY!!! calls, equal prizes will be given.

9.      Prize Claim.  You must be present to win. Upon successfully identifying yourself as a winner, present your VB card to VBB for validation. Once your VB card has been validated you will receive your prize. All cover-all wins will be validated and distributed the following week.

10.  Odds. The odds of winning the VB depend on the number of VB cards purchased for the game.

11.  Transfer of VB cards or Prize. Persons who receive VB cards may not opt to give away their VB card. Receivers of VB cards may not re-sell their VB cards to other parties, and may not knowingly give VB cards away to others for the purpose of allowing those other parties to re-sell such VB cards. All VB cards which have been resold are in violation of these Official Rules and shall be void. All individuals who re-sell, purchase, or receive VB cards in violation of these Official Rules shall be ineligible to participate in the VB or to win a prize. A winner may transfer his/her prize to a third party provided that the following conditions are met: (a) the transferee would have otherwise been eligible to enter VB (age eighteen (18) or older); (b) the transferee shall be responsible for all taxes and costs described in these Official Rules; and (c) the transferee shall be bound by all terms and conditions of these Official Rules that are applicable to the winner.

 

12.  Judges. The VB will be conducted and supervised by VBB, whose decisions are final. VBB reserves the right to modify these Official Rules at any time. VBB reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend the VB should unauthorized human intervention or other causes corrupt the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the VB.
