DRAWING RULES FOR SELECTING HOT SEAT TABLE GAMES AND PLAYERS: 

1.     In order to be eligible to win, players must be actively playing at a live table game with an open rating on their ACE Club Card, at the time the Prize Patrol arrives at the lucky winning table.

2.     Winners will be chosen by selecting a live table game utilizing a clear drawing barrel with numbered balls. The drawing barrel will be located at the ACE Club at each property. The numbers displayed on the numbered balls will correspond to the identifying table numbers located on the live tables. 

3.     The numbered balls will be selected and drawn by the Prize Patrol.

4.     Once a live table game has been selected, the Prize Patrol will take a set of Oversized Cards, numbered 1 to 15, to the chosen Hot Seat Table. The Prize Patrol will present the Oversized Cards to the eligible players, face down and fanned out. The eligible players will draw from the Oversized Cards beginning at Seat 1 and going around. The player who reveals the Oversized Card with the highest number shall be deemed the winner for that drawing time. Any hand in progress will be completed prior to players choosing Oversized Cards.

5.     In the event that there are no active players at the selected table game, the Prize Patrol will select another ball from the drawing barrel and proceed with promotional activity accordingly. A table may only be drawn once per drawing time, therefore once a table has been drawn, it will not be put back into the barrel until the next drawing time.
