However, organizations conducting bingo under specific provisions, bingo activities at qualified agricultural fairs, and bingo licensees with gross gambling receipts of seventy-five thousand dollars or less in their previous license year may be exempt if they meet the requirements for lower volume charitable or nonprofit organizations. All other bingo licensees must report all prize payments for bingo games and drawings for prizes, good neighbor prizes, and second element of chance prizes at bingo games and record payment on a prize receipt.

Licensees may receipt prizes of twenty dollars or less on a single prize log, and they must maintain a separate prize log for each session.
