How to play bingo
Buy-ins to the Bingo Sessions are generally available 1 to 2 hours before the sessions begin. There are a variety of package buy-ins to suit every player. Each bingo card consists of a grid of five columns with each column starting with one of the letters in the word BINGO.
The ball machine mixes the bingo balls and the caller draws the numbers. After a bingo ball is drawn, its number is announced by the bingo caller and displayed on a flashboard and monitors throughout the hall for all the bingo players to see. It is not valid until it is called and depressed in the ball rack. When the Bingo Caller calls out the numbers as they are randomly selected, the letter is called out first, followed by the number. For example: G-55, I-24, etc. If you have the number on the screen – daub it off. The goal is to get the entire pattern displayed on the flashboard.
This process of selecting and calling bingo balls is repeated until one or more bingo players cover the selected pattern for that bingo game and shout out, “Bingo!” A floor clerk will come over and call back the card face number to the bingo caller; your bingo card will then be displayed on the monitors throughout the hall. If your bingo is valid your floor clerk will ask you for your player’s club card. The floor clerk will then get your payout from the cage and bring it right to your seat!
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS A 9-ON?
This is the "pack" that regular games are played on. Each sheet in the pack has 9 bingo cards on it. Each card face is another opportunity to win. For example, if game 1 is a "regular bingo," you will search all 9 cards for the pattern. These games will pay the posted prize payout per session, which is found on the programs. 9-ons come in paper packs as well as electronic packs. This is the standard pack required to play bingo.
WHAT IS A 6-ON?
This is an extra pack you can purchase with 6 bingo cards on it. 6-ons are six faced "packs" that regular games are played on. They typically cost $10 and payout $1,000 when you bingo. In order to purchase a 6-on, you must also purchase at least one 9-on. Both 6-ons and 9-ons may be loaded into a bingo machine.
HOW MUCH DOES BINGO COST?
Regular game prices vary depending on the session. Matinee and Late Night 9-ons typically cost $7 and pay out $400 each game. Evening session 9-ons cost $10 and pay $500 Monday – Wednesday and $700 Thursday – Sunday. For more detailed information on session prices and payouts click here.
HOW LONG DOES BINGO LAST?
A regular session typically lasts about 2 ½ – 3 hours. Matinee and Evening sessions offer a 15 minute break to get up, stretch, and grab a bite to eat, or play machines. The Late Night session offers a 10 minute break.
HOW DO I BUY-IN?
Present your players club card at the Admissions window. You will need to purchase at least one 9-on to "buy-in." 9-ons range in price depending on the day or the session. You will also want to purchase your Hotball, Jokerball, Pokerball, and Do-it-Yourself at admissions as they are not available from floor clerks. These are all special incentives. Purchasing these add-ons may increase your payout when you bingo on a regular game.
WHAT ARE THOSE MACHINES PEOPLE USE?
Some people like to play several 9-ons at one time, and the machines allow players to play as many as 999 bingo cards at once. The machine keeps track of all the cards, and even tells you when to yell bingo! At Muckleshoot Bingo we offer two different types of machines. The PHD is a portable device and a Max Pack is a stationary device. During most sessions, we offer "Electronic package deals" that include discounts on the items in the machine. Machines are purchased at admissions. You must purchase at least 3 9-ons in order to use a machine.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE A PLAYERS CLUB CARD?
Yes, in order to buy-in for bingo you will need a players club card. Just visit our Players Club and bring a valid ID. A players club card is recommended for Vegas Style Machine play as well, but is not required.
HOW OLD MUST YOU BE TO PLAY BINGO?
Muckleshoot Bingo is an 18 and older facility. Bingo and Vegas Style machines are available for anyone 18 years and up.
DO I HAVE TO USE A DAUBER?
Yes, daubers are required on paper bingo games. The only game where you don't need a dauber is the Do-It-Yourself game.
CAN I HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY AT BINGO?
Absolutely! For more information on birthday parties call us today or send an email to marketing.email@muckleshootbingo.net.
WHAT DO I DO WHEN I GET A BINGO?
Yell Bingo! You must yell bingo loud enough to stop play. The floor clerk will ask for your players club card and your buy-in receipt, and then they will verify your bingo. They will take your information to the cage and return with your payout!
It is common for people to yell bingo and not have a valid bingo. We call that "practice." If you think you could have a bingo, it is better to yell than to miss out on the prize.
CAN TWO PEOPLE BINGO AT THE SAME TIME?
Yes, it is possible that two or more people bingo at the same time. In this event payouts will be split evenly amongst all of the winners based on your level of play.
WHAT IS A BLACKOUT PACK?
A blackout pack is a set of extra games that are played throughout the session that are not included in the 9-on regular games. These games are played to a complete blackout and most have jackpots that are typically higher than the regular game payouts. For example, the Super Jackpot during evening session begins at $4,000 and grows $2,000 every day until it's won. If the Super Jackpot doesn't "go" in the amount of numbers posted, it will pay a consolation prize.
WHAT IS A FLASHBOARD?
The flashboard is a large electronic device that displays the numbers and letters after they have been announced by the bingo caller. It is used in Bingo to make the numbers and letters easier to see and play.
IS THERE A WINNER ON EVERY GAME?
Yes! That's the cool thing about bingo. All games are played until someone wins. There will be a winner on every game.
AT WHAT AMOUNT ARE MY WINNINGS TAXED?
Taxes must be claimed on any cash prize $1,200 or more (bingo or machines). Also, complimentary prizes that total $600 or more in a year are also reported and taxed.
