determine optimum play or make decisions for players;
3. Each player terminal must prominently display either on the
terminal or on a help screen:
a. the rules of the game and instructions and other
information regarding the concept of the game so that
a novice player can understand how to improve his or
her performance, and

paid to play the game and the other information
required in this section. Such information may not be
