47.1-1233    Rules of play
(6)    	Slot machine games may award additional free play, known as “bonus play,”  and includes free spins, re-spins, or other games or events with similar or different play as the base game. Bonus play may be player initiated, or automatic. The game must clearly indicate when it is in bonus play, as opposed to normal play mode.

(b)    	If bonus play uses a terminator or other element to cause play to terminate, the paytable must define and explain the terminator.
(c)    	The bonus play may offer the player alternative hidden selections, known as “take or risk”  selections. Once the player makes a selection, and its value is revealed to the player, the game may offer the player the opportunity to forego the selection in lieu of another hidden selection, under the following conditions:
(i)    	The amounts “offered”  to the player are not transferred to the player's win meter until the player has either exhausted all available opportunities, or the player has affirmatively chosen to keep the award revealed in lieu of another hidden selection.
(ii)    	The minimum amount that is awarded is greater than or equal to the total amount wagered in the base game (i.e., total coins per all lines played) which triggered the bonus play.
(iii)    	The paytable must fully explain the take or risk functionality and expected player behavior.
(iv)    	The game must explain how many risk attempts the player will receive,
(v)    	The player must have a means of clearly communicating the player's decision to the game.
(d) 	The bonus play may include physical skill based components which affect the return to the player if the following conditions are met: 
(i) 	The difference between the minimum and the maximum pay for all physical skill based outcomes or awards may not exceed a 4% contribution to the overall return to player of the gaming device. 
(ii) 	Information explaining the physical skill based functionality must be prominently displayed on the award glass or video display. This information should include that there is a physical skill based advantage.
