TEXAS LOTTERY COMMISSION

On behalf of the Commissioners and the Charitable Bingo Operations Division of the Texas Lottery Commission, we want to thank all the members of the charitable bingo industry for making 2015 another great year. We are pleased to present the Charitable Bingo Operations Division 2015 Annual Report.

Charitable bingo continues to play an important role in assisting many of Texas’ nonprofit organizations with their charitable purposes.

In calendar year 2015, reported total gross receipts were over $756.7 million, a $17.0 million increase from 2014 which was the highest they have been since 1981 when charitable bingo was legalized in Texas. Pull-tab sales have seen an increase in sales every year since 2002. In calendar year 2015 pull tab sales represented approximately 54.1 percent of total gross receipts. Total prizes reported paid to players in 2015 were more than $575.3 million, the highest in the history of charitable bingo in Texas.

Charitable distributions saw a 10.3 percent increase over 2014 with organizations reporting that they distributed $28.5 million for their charitable purposes; 1000 charitable organizations in Texas are licensed to conduct bingo. These non-profit Texas charities through a variety of actions provide a multitude of services throughout the state that support the local community with the use of their charitable distributions to benefit a wide range of charitable causes including, but not limited to, education scholarships, assisting needy children, the disabled, veterans, senior citizens, meals on wheels, boys and girls clubs, food banks, job and disaster assistance.

Furthermore, during calendar year 2015, $20.2 million was deposited into the General Revenue Fund and an additional $13.8 million was allocated to cities and counties that share in the prize fees collected, due to the conduct of bingo games.

The year covered by this report includes some key Division accomplishments. Most notable are:

The implementation of the Bingo Operating Services System referred to as BOSS. This vastly improved, more efficient bingo operating system is used daily by staff in the administration and management of the charitable bingo program. This one-time General Revenue funding appropriated to the Texas Lottery Commission by the 83rd Texas Legislature was a worthwhile investment as BOSS allows licensees and bingo workers the ability to submit applications, reports, and remit payments online. It allows the Division to provide a fiscal

analysis of a licensees reported sales and expenditures. If utilized, this new information can assist licensees to perform more efficiently to increase their charitable distributions.

Audit and game inspection activities have increased 45 percent in comparison to the prior year (278 in 2015 compared to 192 in 2014). These efforts help determine that proceeds from charitable bingo are used for lawful purposes and to ensure charitable bingo games are conducted fairly. Our robust audit and game inspection program also resulted in:

• 24 Active consent orders totaling $211,153 related to the operation of illegal gaming machines in licensed bingo locations and the under reporting of prize fees.

• 45 Audits that resulted in a requirement of re-depositing a total of $84,471 into the affected organizations bingo bank accounts. The audits revealed incorrect valuation of merchandise prizes, lack of documentation for expenses, and unreasonable or unnecessary expenses. Those funds ultimately went directly to the charity as charitable distributions because all expense obligations from the audited period had already been paid.

A statewide training initiative commenced in calendar year 2015. The on-site training attended by approximately 320 industry representatives was held in bingo halls located in Austin, Arlington, San Antonio, and Houston. The four training sessions included information pertaining to accounting, licensing, audit, bingo operations, and the bingo service portal.

We strive to provide consistent, effective, and efficient regulation to the charitable bingo industry in Texas. We will continue to work in partnership with industry representatives to further develop and implement policies and procedures that benefit the non-profit organizations conducting authorized bingo activities in Texas to raise funds for their charitable purposes, and ultimately the citizens of Texas. We look forward to the future and new opportunities to fulfill our mission to regulate Charitable Bingo in the state of Texas.

PRIZES PAID TO PLAYERS

A bingo prize may not have a value of more than $750 for a single game. For regular bingo games that award individual prizes of more than $50, the total value of prizes awarded during a bingo occasion cannot exceed $2,500. Note: A bingo occasion may not exceed four hours.

Prizes paid to players in 2015 was $575.2 million, the highest since the issuance of the first bingo licenses in 1982. The increase in prizes paid to players is attributable to pull-tab prizes that were the highest since the inception of the sale of pull-tabs in Texas.

The following table shows prizes paid to players from 2006 through 2015 based on information reported by licensed authorized organizations:

ADJUSTED GROSS RECEIPTS AND NET PROCEEDS

Adjusted Gross receipts is the sum of card sales, entrance fees, electronic card sales, and pull-tab bingo sales less total bingo prizes awarded. Net proceeds are the sum of adjusted gross receipts plus all other income (rent income, interest earned, and the value of merchandise prizes donated) less total expenses.

The following table compares adjusted gross receipts to net proceeds to net proceeds as a percentage of adjusted gross receipts from 2006 through 2015:

ATTENDANCE

The figures for attendance do not reflect the number of people playing bingo in the years referenced but are the cumulative reported attendance of persons at bingo games. Attendance is reported quarterly by licensed authorized organizations that conduct bingo.

The following table shows attendance from calendar years 2006 through 2015 and is based on information reported by licensed authorized organizations. Attendance has shown a steady decline from 2006 to 2015, with a slight increase of .53 percent from 2008 to 2009. It appears that the introduction of the new style of instant event tickets may have altered player patterns in an environment of declining attendance, with players choosing to spend their funds on instant tickets rather than paper.

BINGO TRAINING PROGRAM

Sections 2001.107, 2001.437(h) and 2001.438(e) of the Bingo Enabling Act require the bingo chairperson of every licensed authorized organization to complete the Bingo Training Program. Under the provisions of §§2001.107, 2001.437(h) and 2001.438(e) of the Act, unit managers and designated agents are also required to complete training. Other officers and members may also complete the training programs.

In June 2008, the online version of the Bingo Training Program was made available on the website. The online version allows the individuals required to complete the training program to do so at their own pace without the need to travel to an on-site training program or taking time off from work. It also reduces travels expenses for the Division due to a reduction in on-site training programs.

AUDIT ACTIVITY

In 2015, the Audit Services Department of the Charitable Bingo Operations Division conducted a variety of audit activities including game inspections, oversight of destructions, complaint investigations, compliance audits and reviews.

The Bingo Enabling Act (BEA) and Administrative Rules (Rules) require licensees to maintain certain documentation. Licensees are not required to maintain records in a specific format but they are required to maintain the information that is included on the forms suggested by the Commission. During game inspections, investigations and audits, licensee records are inspected and audited to determine if the required records and information are maintained in compliance with the BEA and Rules.

The Commission conducts compliance audits and reviews to determine if the records and accounts of the organization accurately reflect financial and fiscal operations, if effective accounting and internal controls are maintained, and to determine if funds are received and used for purposes authorized by the BEA and Rules.
