  • Persons   operating   games;   equipment;  expenses;
      compensation.  No person shall operate any  game  of  chance  under  any
      license  issued  under  this  article  except  a bona fide member of the
      authorized organization to which the license is issued, or a  bona  fide
      member  of  an  organization or association which is an auxiliary to the
      licensee or a bona fide member of  an  organization  or  association  of
      which  such  licensee  is  an  auxiliary  or  a  bona  fide member of an
      organization or association which is affiliated  with  the  licensee  by
      being,  with  it,  auxiliary  to  another  organization  or association.
      Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the number of games of chance
      licensees for whom such persons may  operate  games  of  chance  nor  to
      prevent  non-members  from  assisting the licensee in any activity other
      than managing or operating games. No game of chance shall  be  conducted
      with  any  equipment  except  such  as  shall  be owned or leased by the
      authorized organization so licensed  or  used  without  payment  of  any
      compensation  therefor  by the licensee. However, in no event shall bell
      jar tickets be transferred from one authorized organization to  another,
      with  or  without payment of any compensation thereof. The head or heads
      of the authorized organization shall upon request certify,  under  oath,
      that  the  persons operating any game of chance are bona fide members of
      such authorized organization, auxiliary or affiliated organization. Upon
      request by an officer or the department any such person involved in such
      games of chance shall certify that he or she has no criminal record.  No
      items  of  expense  shall  be  incurred  or  paid in connection with the
      conducting of any game of chance pursuant to any  license  issued  under
      this  article  except  those  that  are  reasonable  and are necessarily
      expended for games of chance supplies and  equipment,  prizes,  security
      personnel,  stated  rental  if  any,  bookkeeping or accounting services
      according to  a  schedule  of  compensation  prescribed  by  the  board,
      janitorial  services  and utility supplies if any, and license fees, and
      the  cost  of  bus  transportation,  if  authorized  by  such  clerk  or
      department.  No  commission,  salary, compensation, reward or recompense
      shall be paid or given to any person for the sale or assisting with  the
      sale of raffle tickets.
        2.  For the purpose of the sale of tickets for the game of raffle, the
      term "operate" shall not include the sale of such tickets by persons  of
      lineal   or   collateral  consanguinity  to  members  of  an  authorized
      organization licensed to conduct a raffle.
