A game shall be capable of entering a lock-up condition if any awards from a single game cycle are in excess of a limit that is required for Federal or State tax reporting. It is permissible to provide a mechanism to accrue W2-G-eligible winnings to a separate meter. Such meter shall not provide for the ability to place wagers and when collected by the player, the game shall lock-up and require an attendant to assist the player.
