Pull-tab cabinets.
Paper math, screen surface.
Gabinetes pull-tab.
Matemática paper, superfície de tela.
Electronic pull-tab cabinets are the fastest-growing charitable gaming surface in North America. They run a finite-pool deck — the same reconcilable math as a paper pull-tab box — but deliver it on a touch screen in a countertop enclosure. Kobow Studio ships two cabinet canvases: portrait 1080×1920 (Ohio / Virginia / Montana retail) and landscape 1920×1080 (North Dakota / Washington charitable halls). Every session runs against a recorded deck seed that reconciles to the filing with the state charitable-gaming board. Gabinetes electrónicos pull-tab são a superfície de gaming beneficente que mais cresce na América do Norte. Rodam um deck finito — a mesma matemática reconciliável de uma caixa de pull-tab paper — mas entregam isso em tela touch num gabinete de balcão. O Kobow Studio entrega duas telas de gabinete: portrait 1080×1920 (varejo OH / VA / MT) e landscape 1920×1080 (salões beneficentes ND / WA). Cada sessão roda contra um seed de deck gravado que reconcilia com o filing junto ao charitable-gaming board do estado.
Two cabinet canvases, one finite-pool spine. Duas telas de gabinete, uma espinha de pool finito.
Which states allow each cabinet format. Quais estados permitem cada formato.
Cabinet deployments are state-specific — the same art and math, but different chrome, different VIRN format, different beneficiary statement. Kobow Studio ships every cabinet SKU in the correct envelope for each of these five states. Deploys de gabinete são específicos por estado — a mesma arte e matemática, mas chrome, formato VIRN e declaração de beneficiário diferentes. O Kobow Studio entrega cada SKU no envelope correto em cada um destes cinco estados.
🇺🇸 North Dakota LANDSCAPE
E-pull-tab legalized in 2018. Runs in chartered charitable halls (VFW, Moose, Elks, American Legion). Finite deck reconciled to the state Charitable Gaming Division.
🇺🇸 Ohio PORTRAIT
Electronic pull-tabs at licensed veterans / fraternal / bar charitable sites. Distinguished from VLTs by the finite-pool math and 100%-to-charity revenue pattern.
🇺🇸 Montana PORTRAIT
Live-games rules permit electronic pull-tab surfaces in eligible bars. Mix of bar-top and free-standing cabinet, typical deck 3,600.
🇺🇸 Virginia PORTRAIT
Pull-tab authorized for charitable gaming under the VA Charitable Gaming Board. Electronic variant expanding through 2025–2027.
🇺🇸 Washington LANDSCAPE
Card-rooms and charitable halls run both paper and electronic pull-tab under the Washington Gambling Commission. Finite deck, reconciled monthly.
🇺🇸 Minnesota iPAD (see Digital)
Minnesota is the original e-pull-tab market (Diamond Game cabinets, ~2012). See the iPad canvas on the Digital page — same finite-pool spine, delivered on a tableted bar-top device rather than a full cabinet.
Why finite-pool math matters. Por que matemática de pool finito importa.
A cabinet that looks like a slot machine but runs finite-pool math is legally a pull-tab — not a slot. The distinction is the entire regulatory envelope. Every state that allows cabinets requires this math. Um gabinete que parece um slot mas roda matemática de pool finito é legalmente um pull-tab — não um slot. A distinção é todo o envelope regulatório. Todo estado que permite gabinete exige essa matemática.
| PropertyPropriedade | Slot machineSlot | Cabinet (Kobow)Gabinete (Kobow) | Paper pull-tabPull-tab paper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Math model | Independent-spin RNG. No finite pool. Each spin is i.i.d. | Finite-pool deck. N prizes distributed across M tickets. RTP is exact, not asymptotic. Reconciles to filing. | Finite-pool deck printed on paper. Same math as cabinet, different medium. |
| RTP behavior | Asymptotic. Any single session can be anywhere. | RTP converges exactly as deck empties. By the last ticket, actual RTP equals target. | Same as cabinet. |
| Regulatory envelope | Gaming Control Board. GLI-11 slot. Strict casino-only placement. | Charitable gaming board. GLI-11 + GLI-33. Permitted in VFW halls, bars, lodges, bingo halls. | Same as cabinet. |
| Beneficiary | Operator / state general fund. | 100% of net to named charity (printed in cabinet chrome). | Same as cabinet. |
| Deck size | Infinite. | 2,400 – 24,000 per game (typical). | 2,400 – 10,000 per box. |
| Audit trail | Spin logs. | Deck seed, ticket-index log, reconciliation sheet — exports match paper pull-tab format 1:1. | Physical box return + dispensed-ticket log. |
| Session feel | Continuous spins, no end. | Ticket counter always visible. Game ends when deck empties. Players can see a big prize hasn't landed yet. | Same as cabinet. Players watch the physical box. |
