OUR GAMES & RULES

Bingo House Rules
Pursuant to Rule No. 5820.53 of the New York State Bingo Regulations, the following rules of play are provided to all players:
  1. The first game begins promptly at 7:15PM (first ball of first game is drawn).

  2. In accordance with NYS rule No. 5820.8, only one admission card or package can be purchased, per player. Every person entering the bingo hall, including minors, must purchase at least an admission card or package. No person shall play more than one admission board or package.

  3. No child under the age of 10 shall be admitted to our bingo hall. Children shall be accompanied and controlled at all times by responsible adult.

  4. No seats or tables can be saved for others bingo players using bingo cards, daubers or other items.

  5. Bingo cards are sold randomly; players shall not select their own cards or packages. Bingo cards shall be exchanged only in the event of defect caused by the manufacturer.

  6. Regular bingo is a game that can be played using a face-card included in admission package. Special games including Early Bird, Progressive Bingo must be played on a separately purchased card.

  7. A call of "bingo" will be honored and the winner paid until both the letter and number of the next ball drawn have been called. A player does not need to "bingo" on the last number called to be eligible for a prize. The flashboards are a convenience to our players.

    Winning cards will be verified by the Caller’s comparison of the numbers appearing on the balls drawn and called with the numbers read back from the player’s bingo face-card by the floor checker. If there is a discrepancy between a number appearing on a ball drawn and a number appearing of the flashboard, the number on the ball drawn is official.

  8. No ball is official until the letter and number has been announced by the bingo caller.

  9. It is the winning player’s responsibility to stop the game by raising his or hers hand and calling out "BINGO" loud enough to be heard by the floor checkers.

  10. If a player wins two parts of a multiple part game (i.e. a letter "T" pattern and a "Round Robin" pattern) on the same number called, that player is entitled to both prizes, without another number being called.

  11. Disorderly persons will be asked to leave the premises, and no refund will be offered. Individuals, who disrupt games or are disorderly from week to week, can be refused entrance to our bingo hall.

  12. If a power outage occurs prior to the halfway point of the bingo occasion, we will attempt to refund each player held price of their bingo cards. If the outage occurs after the halfway point, the occasion will be considered over and no refund will be offered.

  13. In the event of bad weather, all attempts will be made to conduct normal bingo game operations. In the event that only 85 players or less attend, then prizes will be cut in half for that occasion only.

  14. On any given evening minimum of 85 players is required in order to conduct normal bingo operations. Attendance by less than 85 players will result in prizes for that session being reduced in half and the cancellations of Progressive Bingo for that evening.

  15. All of our worker are volunteers and are conducting these bingo games solely to raise money for our organization’s lawful purposes. Our volunteers are prohibited from participating in the games in any way. Please do not ask them to watch your game cards.

  16. We thank you for your patronage and support. We hope you win, but please keep in mind that the primary purpose of these games is to have fun and help us raise much-needed funds for our charities.

  17. All problems, questions and/or disputes will be resolved by the Members in Charge. Their decision made in accordance with NYS regulations and published house rules will be final.
