Paper Bingo
Classic Bingo at its best. Grab a dauber and start marking the numbers as they are called.
Handheld
Portable and electronic - keep track of your cards with these nifty little devices. They assist players
by electronically tracking the numbers called and signaling a winning card. There is no additional
charge to play them, and players may use them instead of, or in conjunction with, traditional paper
cards. Simply tell the cashier you want to play using a handheld unit.
Electronic Bingo
This automated approach to traditional bingo provides players with computer touch screen
terminals instead of traditional paper and dabbers. We have 120 terminals where you can play
multiple cards by simply following the easy step-by-step instructions on your screen.

How to Play Bingo
The game of Bingo is relatively simple to learn. For many of us we
learned to play bingo as a child at school or possibly at our place of
worship. Conventional 75 number bingo is played with bingo cards that
have a grid of five horizontal rows and five vertical columns. The columns
are lettered B I N G O from left to right across the top of the grid and each
bingo card has five numbers in each row except the center N column
which has a "free space" at the intersection of the third row and the third
column. Bingo balls individually numbered 1-75 are mixed together and
the balls are randomly selected one at a time. As each ball is selected, the number is announced
to the players, who dab or mark the corresponding number on their bingo card with a bingo ink
marker/dabber. When a player completes a predetermined arrangement of covered numbers on
the bingo card, that player yells out "Bingo!" Once the bingo card is verified as being correct, he/
she wins the game.
In the conventional play of bingo, in order to win the game, a player must cover five spaces in a
vertical column, a horizontal row or along one of the two diagonals of the bingo card. The free
space in the center of the bingo card allows a player to win with as few as four numbers being
drawn. Winning combinations for example, can also include the covering of numbers on the bingo
card so that letter symbols are formed such as an X, T or L.
The manager of the bingo game must identify which particular combination or combinations of
covered numbers will be the winning patterns for that particular game. It is also popular to play
"coverall" or "blackout" games in which all 24 of the numbers on the bingo card must be covered in
order for the player to win.
Players purchase bingo cards for use during the bingo session, which creates a pool of money.
Winning players receive a pre-announced cash or merchandise prize. Typically, a bingo session
includes a number of individual bingo games concluding with a coverall game in which a large
prize is awarded.
Special Bingo Games

Treasure Chest Bingo, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Lightning: Lightning games are similar to regular bingo games except the
speed of calling is much quicker. Balls are typically called at three-second
intervals.
Bonanza: A Bonanza game is a bingo game run in conjunction with a
regular bingo event. The first 50 balls are pre-called at the beginning of
the bingo event. Players immediately mark the first 50 on their cards. The
completion of this full card pattern game occurs near the end of the
session allowing players to continue buying bonanza cards throughout the
regular bingo event.
Dual Dab: A Dual Dab bingo card contains two
numbers per square instead of the standard one
number per square. Players mark the square if
either number is called during the course of the
game.
Super Jackpot: A Super Jackpot game is a
bingo game run in conjunction with a regular
bingo event. The jackpot prize is awarded based
on completing a specified pattern (full card) within
a designated number of bingo numbers drawn.
The designated number starts at 50 and
increases from event to event until the $2,000 jackpot prize is won.
Progressive Style Games
Accumulator Game
A progressive prize shall be awarded to the first person or persons,
achieving the winning combination of numbers within the designated
number of calls. The designated number of calls starts at 50 and
increases as the prize grows. The progressive prize starts at a base
amount of $1,000 and grows by $50 at each successive bingo event until
won, or, until the prize reaches $5000. After the Accumulator progressive
prize reaches $5000, the designated number of calls shall increase by
one each time the progressive prize increases by $500 respectively.
Where the progressive prize is not won within the designated number of calls, a consolation prize
shall be awarded to the first person or persons completing the winning pattern. The consolation
prize is equal to 50% of the gross revenues up to a maximum of $400.The consolation prize shall
continue to be played even if the progressive prize is won.
Players Progressive Game
A Players Progressive prize shall be awarded to the first person or
persons achieving the winning combination of numbers within the
designated number of 50 calls. When the progressive prize is not won
within the designated number of calls, the progressive prize shall be
carried over to the next bingo event. The progressive prize shall be
calculated at 33.33% of gross revenue derived from Players Progressive
card sales (electronic and paper) and shall increase by 33.33% of gross
revenues until the maximum prize of $5,000 is achieved. A consolation
prize shall be calculated at 33.34% of gross revenue. When the Progressive prize has reached
$5,000 the consolation prize shall continue to grow by 50% of gross revenues. When the
Progressive prize is not won within the designated number of calls, the consolation prize shall be
awarded to the first person or persons completing the winning combination of numbers. The
consolation prize shall continue to be played for even if the Progressive prize is won. Once the
progressive prize has reached the $5,000 maximum, then the following day the designated
number of calls will increase by one each day until the Jackpot prize is won.

Loonie Pot Progressive
Prior to the commencement of each Regular Bingo event, a bingo ball shall be drawn from the
bingo blower. This number shall be known as the "Indicator Number". The Indicator Number (bingo
ball) shall be clearly shown to all players and returned to the bingo blower. The purpose of the
Indicator Number is to alert participating players that the number drawn immediately after the
Indicator Number will be the "Loonie Progressive Number".
The Loonie Progressive Game prize shall be awarded to a player or players achieving the winning
combination of numbers. In order to win, a player must have a bingo on the number immediately
drawn and called after the indicator number. For example, the indicator number drawn at the
beginning of the bingo event is B15. When B15 is called during an eligible game the next number
called is the Loonie Progressive Number. This next number is G58 and it completes the game
pattern. The player yells bingo and wins both the regular game prize and the Loonie Progressive
Prize.
The Loonie Progressive prize is calculated at 65% of the gross revenues derived from the Loonie
Pot Ticket sales. When the Loonie Progressive prize is not won, the Loonie Progressive prize shall
be carried over and added to the next Loonie Progressive session up to a maximum of $5,000.
When the Loonie Progressive prize has reached $5,000, a "Must Go" game shall be played. The
designated game on which the "Must Go" game will be played shall be communicated to all
players. The Indicator Number is not used in determining the winner of the "Must Go" Loonie
Progressive prize. There is no consolation prize in the Loonie Pot Progressive Game.
BREAK OPEN TICKETS
Break Open Tickets are Charitable Gaming fund-raising tickets commonly known as Nevada
Tickets which feature a predetermined ticket count and a definite payout amount. The object of the
game is to open the perforated windows on the back of the ticket and match the symbols inside
the ticket to the winning combinations on the front of the ticket. The winning Break Open Ticket is
turned in for a cash prize.
Seal cards and bingo event tickets are specific types of break open tickets.
SEAL CARD GAME
A Seal Card Game is similar to any regular deal of break open tickets
containing a predetermined ticket count and a definite payout amount. It is
played just like a regular break open game with some key differences that
add more excitement to your bingo outing.
Seal card games typically have smaller ticket counts, which means they
sell extremely fast. Some tickets pay instant cash prizes while other
tickets contain sign-up numbers that grant certain players a chance at a
secondary prize or prizes. Play continues until all tickets are sold. Once all
tickets are sold a flare card (poster) is then opened to reveal the flare cards sign-up number. The
player whose ticket sign-up number matches the uncovered flare card sign-up number wins.
BINGO EVENT TICKET GAME
Bingo event games bridge the gap between bingo and Break Opens and are an excellent way to
add excitement to your bingo game. A bingo event game is, for the most part, played in a very
similar manner to a seal card game. Each individual bingo event ticket game has a predetermined
ticket count, a fixed prize payout, instant winning tickets and a series of hold tickets. The hold
tickets in a bingo event in the game are traditionally Bingo Numbers B1-O75. These hold tickets
are held for a larger prize that is paid out after all the tickets are sold - again similar to a seal
game.

The main difference is that a bingo event game winner can be determined using the bingo
flashboard, the last number called during a bingo game or by using the enclosed seal card. For
example, if the event game has 75 hold tickets numbered B1-O75 (one number per ticket), and
while playing a regular bingo game the number B5 is the last number called, then the event winner
would be the holder of the ticket with B5 printed on it. Once, all the tickets in the event game are
sold, the caller will announce in which bingo game the event game will be played and announce
how the event winner will be determined.
There are several different styles of Event tickets and this is why they offer so much added
excitement to your game:
Event or last number called games:
●
The holder of the ticket containing the last number called in the designated bingo event
game wins.
Dab Games:
●
Event tickets with more than one bingo number on a ticket, and the winner is the player
who dabs all the numbers on their ticket during the designated bingo game.
Line or horse race games:
●
Event tickets containing the same number combinations as the down-lines on a flashboard,
ex.B1,I-16,N31,G46,O61. The event winner would be the holder of the ticket with the first
down-line completed in the designated bingo game.
Player excitement builds until the moment when the end-of-game winner is announced by
combining the excitement of break open tickets & BINGO together in one entertainment
experience.
