On behalf of Winner’s Bingo, home of the Lethbridge Community Bingo Association I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our Hall. My name is Carol and I am the manager of the Association. If you have any questions please ask the volunteers. If they are unable to help you please ask for the advisor and they will be very pleased to explain things to you.
Here are a few tips:
Odd/Even Progressive Game is played as an Odd/Even Game. The sellers in the RED Aprons sell it and they cost $1.00 for a 2-up card. Behind the caller there is a sign by the clock that will say Odd or Even. Whatever that sign says was the precalled number and that is what you mark on your 2-up card.
Bonanza has a 48 number precall, which you will see on the four smaller boards around the hall. The sellers sell the cards in the BLUE aprons. The cards are $1.00 each. The Bonanza game is played after the jackpot game.
Satellite Bingo is a game that is played all over Alberta. It goes live at 2:45 PM and 8:45 PM at which time our program is stopped and we switch over to the Satellite Bingo Game played out of Edmonton. The cards are on sale on the floor by the sellers in the RED aprons and they cost $1.00 each. You will pre-mark all EVEN or ODD numbers based on the date. The game is then played to a blackout.
Pay Me Game-This game is played right BEFORE the intermission break. The sellers sell it in the RED aprons. It is a peach 2-up card and it cost $1.00. At the beginning of the event the caller will call 3 wild numbers and post them where it says Pay Me on the wall to the callers left. For the 3 wild numbers that are called you will mark all the numbers on your peach 2-up card that END ONLY with those three wild numbers. It is played out to a blackout BEFORE the Intermission break. The winner of this game will also receive a FREE package for the upcoming Mega Event.
How to purchase cards on the floor
Ø Odd/Even Progressive, Satellite Bingo and Pay Me Game-hold up a dauber (RED APRONS)
Ø Bonanza -hold up your hand or cash (BLUE APRONS)
Ø Balls Game-hold up a balls sign found on the quickie table (BLACK APRONS)
Loonie Pot #1-You must enter this with the cashier when you purchase your booklets. A wild number will be called at the beginning of the event and posted to the caller's right. If you bingo on that number in your regular game booklets on the first 2 games of any series and the pot hasn’t already been won that event then you win the Loonie Pot #1 progressive amount. The cashier/advisor will come out and check your receipt to make sure you have entered into the pot and if you have you will be paid by the pay runner.
Loonie Pot #2-You must enter this with the cashier when you purchase your booklets. A wild number will be called at the beginning of the event and posted to the caller's right. If you bingo on that number in your regular game booklets on the last game of any series and the pot hasn’t already been won that event then you win the Loonie Pot #2 progressive amount. The cashier/advisor will come out and check your receipt to make sure you have entered into the pot. If you have you will be paid by the pay runner. You must sign the card and a volunteer will collect it when the page is complete.
Match Mieker - If you bingo on the same number as the number of balls called and you have purchased the Match Mieker pot from the cashier and the pot hasn’t already been won that event then you win the Match Mieker Progressive Pot. (Eg. Bingo on G 48 on the 48th number) This pot cost $1 per event and is good on all regular games adn must be purchased from the cashier.
Odd/Even Progressive Game- Cards are $1.00 per 2-up and are purchased from the sellers on the floor in the RED aprons. The pot will be capped at $5,000. If you bingo in 10 numbers or less until the pot has been capped you will win the progressive pot. Once the pot has been capped the number required will increase by one for every $1,000 in the reserve pot.
Progressive Jackpot Game- Purchase a 6-up grey card from the cashier for $2.00 to qualify for this game. It is played on page 8 along with your free 3-up gray charity card that you may have received when you purchased your cards. If you bingo in the required amount of numbers of the PJP card then you win the pot. If the Pot is capped ($2500 in the am and $5,000 in the pm) then you will receive the capped prize and we will continue for a Jackpot winner for that event. If the pot has not been capped and is won then that player will receive the event payout AND the PJP total. This card will also be treated as a regular card so any game that you win on this card-whether you bingo on the number or not-you will be paid as a regular card winner. The caller will slow down for this game. The PJP can only be won once per event.
Bonanza Bonus - This bonus is FREE to all players. If you bingo in the number required for that day on Bonanza #2 you will receive the bonus. There is no cost to the players for this pot.
Wild Pot-If you purchase the Wild Pot and bingo on the number directly after a Satellite Winner has been declared you win the pot. This is an in-house pot.
