BINGO Rules

  1. Only authorized patrons of NRSW/MWR facilities and their guests are eligible to play BINGO.
  2. Each player must purchase his/her own $20 admission package in order to purchase Early Bird, Special Game or Coverall game packs. Splitting a pack is strictly prohibited and will disqualify any winner.
  3. Only patrons who have purchased an admission package to play BINGO may remain in the BINGO Hall.
  4. Players must be at least 18 years of age to participate.
  5. Players must have BINGO on the last number called to win. Once the next ball is pulled from the machine, it must be called. NO SLEEPERS ALLOWED! For example, if “O-65” is called and then “B-6” is called, “O-65” is no longer the winning number. If a player BINGOs on “O-65” but discovers it after more numbers are called, this is called a SLEEPER, and it is not a valid BINGO.
  6. It is the responsibility of the players to yell “BINGO” loudly enough to stop the caller. It is NOT the responsibility of the BINGO clerk to claim or stop the game.
  7. In the event of multiple winners or duplicate cards, the prize will be determined by dividing the corresponding prize line by the total number of winners.
  8. Each player must play all the paper they purchase. No cash refunds will be given for paper not played.
  9. All paper must be played on date received or purchased.
  10. Players must display a signed admission receipt at all times.
  11. Introduction of ANY BINGO cards not purchased at the current BINGO session is prohibited. Cards with unclear entries or cards that appear to have been altered will be voided.
  12. Daubers must be used on all paper cards.
  13. Any player winning more than $1,199 must provide his or her social security number and have a valid picture ID in order to collect any prize money. Winnings greater than $1,199 will be paid by check within 3-5 working days at the Business Office, Bldg. 3303.
  14. The BINGO flashboard is a convenience and not official. The ball supersedes the Caller or mechanical error.
  15. The decision of Management will be final on all games.
