Game Rules
All Bingo
Games
Ø You must have the last
number called in order for your bingo to be valid. It is the player’s responsibility to insure
that the caller hears his/her bingo and stops play. The bingo machine is noisy, so please be
loud. In the event the caller does not
hear your bingo and calls the next number, we WILL NOT honor your bingo from
the previous call.
Ø Payouts for multiple
bingos in a single game will be determined by dividing the total payout for
that game by the number of valid bingos and rounding to the next lower quarter
dollar. For example, if the total payout
is $100 and there are three valid bingos, each winner will receive $33.25.
Winner-Take-All
Ø The payout for this game equals
the gross receipts for all sales of Winner-Take-All sheets for the evening, to
a maximum of $1,000.00.
Birthday Prize
Ø
Each time you visit BVFRD Bingo during your birthday month, you
may draw from our special Birthday Pull Tabs to determine your free prize. The prize list is posted at the Paper Table. You must present a valid, government-issued, picture
ID at the Paper Table to prove your eligibility. You must be a playing customer to be eligible
for Birthday Prizes.
Raffle
Ø Details for each grand prize drawing are available for
inspection. The winner of the Grand
Prize need not be present at the drawing to win.
Ø Special drawings from the raffle ticket container will be held
weekly. The prizes for those drawings
will be announced at the time of the drawings.
Weekly winners must be present to win; they will remain eligible for the
Grand Prize drawing.
Treasure Chest
Ø
Our Treasure Chest is a progressive jackpot. The value of the jackpot consists of the total
value of all Treasure Chest tickets sold for the current jackpot, not to exceed
$10,000.
Ø The first bingo number
called at the beginning of the Regular Session will be the Treasure Chest
number for the night. Each time that
number is drawn during each game in that evening’s Regular Session, a ticket
stub from that evening’s Treasure Chest ticket sales will be drawn and
announced.
Ø At the intermission
(or at the conclusion of the Regular Session), the holders of the announced
tickets may draw from our bag of poker chips, in the order that their tickets
were announced. The bag will contain a
number of specially marked chips, each indicating one of several prizes. If a player draws the winning Treasure Chest
Jackpot chip, the player will be paid the current value of the Treasure Chest
(less applicable taxes). If a player
does not draw a prize-winning chip or draws more than one chip (even if it
includes a winning chip), the draw is considered to be a non-winning draw. A consolation prize will be awarded for a
non-winning draw. Once the Treasure
Chest Jackpot is won, no further drawings for Treasure Chest prizes will be
allowed that night and the next Treasure Chest will begin during the next Bingo
Regular Session.
Ø If ticket sales for a
Treasure Chest jackpot exceed $10,000 before that jackpot is won, those excess
sales over $10,000 will be applied to the next Treasure Chest jackpot.
