Bingo Event or Ball Game Winners

Bingo Event or Ball Game Winners – each Bingo Event Game has a set of “HOLD” tickets, traditionally with the word “hold” on the ticket or one or more bingo numbers (B1-O75). Each of the “hold” tickets is eligible for an additional prize and is usually played along with a regular bingo game. While you are playing bingo, simply watch, dab or mark your event ticket as the numbers are called and you may be a Winner. When all the tickets in the deal have been sold, the caller will announce which game will be the Bingo Event game.

The different styles of Bingo Event Games use different types of “HOLD” symbols, and the three basic event games are played as follows:

1. Single Ball or Last Ball Hold Tickets — have 75 hold tickets in a deal, numbered B1—O75 with one bingo number per ticket. These hold tickets can be played along with any bingo game and the caller will simply designate which lucky ball ticket is the winner by determining in advance of playing whether the winner will be determined by the last ball called, first ball or hard luck ball. After the ball has been call, the player holding the winning ticket yells “Balls“! A floor worker will then verify the winning ticket and pay the winner.
   For example, if the winning ball ticket is the last ball called on a valid bingo, the operator will verify the bingo winner and then announce the last verified ball called and the player holding that ticket wins.
2. Dab Tickets — have more than one bingo number on it (usually three to five balls, can include a “FREE” ball). To win a dab game, play your ticket along with the designated bingo game and the first player to “coverall’ the numbers on the bingo event ticket Wins the prize. Once you “dab” and coverall your numbers on the hold ticket, yell “Balls”.
3. Derby or Race Games — “HOLD” tickets show a horse with a number. These numbers correspond to the downline on the flashboard. The big prize is awarded to the player holding the ticket with the Horse #1 thru #15 that matches the first vertical downline completed in the designated bingo game. (See flashboard image below. Horse #1 is the winner in that race). Derby or Race games may also contain Single Ball Hold tickets for the second level prize, or a “downline” option where EACH number in the winning downline wins a prize.

With Options #2 and #3 above, there is a possibility that the bingo game will end before the Event game is finished. If this happens, simply continue to call balls until a winner is determined in the normal manner, or the bingo chairman has the option of opening a window on the caller’s card (or flare) and awarding the prize to the ticket number or the combination of bingo balls indicated.

A Bingo Event Ticket is a pull tab or breakopen game with instant winners AND special tickets that the players keep or hold until the entire deal is sold.

The “Keepers” or “Hold Tickets” are played as a separate game within the game and provides players an opportunity to win additional prizes. Deals typically contain 150 – 1600 tickets and several may be sold during a session of bingo. The face of the ticket says “hold all numbers 1-75, Down Row, or Dab Tickets for a chance at $$$$.” Prizes for the hold tickets vary but may be any amount from $75 – $1000 depending on local laws and regulations. The winners are determined by three different methods and many Event Tickets contain one or more of the following methods on the same ticket.

Flashboard Games

The hold tickets in Flashboard style games are simply the numbers 1 – 75 underneath the windows of the pull tab. The numbers may also appear as a bingo ball. There may be 75 tickets with a single number or ball on each ticket or multiple numbers may appear on the same ticket (25 tickets with 3 balls on a ticket). Once the entire deal is sold, the next bingo paper game or special is announced as the Flashboard Game (name of game). The player whose bingo number (hold ticket) matches the last number called on the bingo paper game being played, wins a prize amount printed on the face of the ticket.

Bingo Game Tickets

The number of hold ticket prizes (winners) may be increased by offering different colored bingo numbers or balls, ie., a winner for each different color. For example, a ticket may contain red, white, and blue balls which allows for 3 different sets of 75 numbers and 3 different winners within the deal. Some Event Tickets may also use a “Cry Number” or the next number after the last ball called to increase the number of winners. This will be identified as a different color and have the words cry number in the window of the tab.

Dab Games

The hold tickets in Dab Style Event Tickets contain any where from 3 – 9 numbers or bingo balls in the the windows of the breakopen ticket. These numbers are dabbed like an ordinary game of bingo. Some dab games contain instant winners and only a percentage of the tickets contain numbers to dab. Other dab games are available where every ticket contains numbers to dab. Once the entire deal is sold, the caller will announce that the next set of numbers called are for the dab game (name of game). Like the flashboard game above, different groups or colors of numbers can be offered to create multiple winners of identical or different prize amounts.

Downline Games (Horse Race)

Downline winners are determined by the vertical rows (1 – 15) on the flashboard. For example, every number below #1 on the flashboard is Downline #1. The downline may be represented (in the windows) by only the numbers 1 through 15 or the entire set of numbers: 1, 16, 31, 46, 61. The caller will announce numbers (during a paper game)until all the numbers in a downline are called. The player that has the hold ticket with the first down line completed (with all the numbers called) wins the prize offered on the face of the ticket.
