Nevada (break open ticket) Licensing

A break open ticket is a device made of cardboard with symbols revealed by tearing open perforated cover window tabs. The winning combination of symbols is specified on the back of the ticket. Break open tickets are also known as Nevada tickets or pull tabs.

A municipality may issue a license to eligible local charitable or religious organizations where the break open tickets are not to be sold in conjunction with another gaming event.
