    287-D:18 Equipment; Ownership and Rental. –
I. If a charitable organization operates games of chance itself, such games of chance shall be conducted with equipment that is:
(a) Owned absolutely;
(b) Used without payment or any compensation therefor by the charitable organization; or
(c) Rented at a fixed fee only from a dealer in such equipment who has his or her principal place of business in this state and who is licensed by the lottery commission.
II. Any contract for the rental of equipment for games of chance shall be independent of any contract for the rental of a facility.
