How old do I have to be to play Bingo?
In most Bingo Halls, you must be at least 18 years of age to play.
Where can I find a game of Bingo nearby?
You can find comprehensive listings of local Bingo games online. Go to www.bingolocator.com for a complete directory of Bingo halls and clubs near you.
How much does a Bingo card cost?
The cost of the card depends on the type of game and the hall that you choose. Prices per card are generally somewhere between ten cents and two dollars.
Can I play multiple Bingo cards per game?
Yes! Just remember that while playing more cards does increase your chances of winning, it also increases the possibility for confusion. Most Bingo halls have specially designed tables that will help you keep your cards in order.
Can I use the same Bingo card for more than one game?
In most Bingo halls, each card is valid for one game only.
What is a Bingo caller?
The bingo caller is the person who announces the chosen numbers.
What is a floor walker?
The floor walker is the person who verifies winning cards. When you call out "Bingo!", he or she will walk over to your table and check your card.
What is a dauber?
A dauber is a special pen that Bingo players use to mark off numbers. Using a dauber is more effective than using chips or other markers. When you use a dauber, you don't have to worry that your bingo card will be accidentally moved and that you'll lose track of your marked numbers.
Can I talk to my friends during a game?
You don't have to preserve total silence. But, most experienced Bingo players live by an unspoken rule - once the caller starts the game, it's time to pipe down.
What happens if I get Bingo, but don't notice right away?
It pays to pay attention! You can only call a Bingo immediately after the winning number has been announced. If the caller has already moved onto the following number, it's too late, and your Bingo is invalid.
What happens if two people call Bingo at the same time?
If two people call Bingo at once, the winnings are divided evenly between them.
Speaking of winnings, do I need anything special to claim my bingo prize?
Just make sure to bring along an I.D. Usually, the hall will give you your prize on the spot. But if you're playing a specialty game or a progressive game, the Bingo hall will first send the balls to a testing lab (to prove that they have not been tampered with) and review the security tapes to make sure that your win is completely above board. You can expect to receive your prize for a super jackpot game about 48 hours after your win.
