We also do entire Pull Tab Punch boards for special events.

What does Level 1 and Level 2 mean?

Level 1 is Full Pay. Level 2 is Half Pay. This means that if a bingo pot is $100 and you win on Level 1, you win the full $100 minus 5% taxes. If you win on Level 2, you win $50 minus 5% taxes. In the event of multiple bingos, the pot is split first by the number of players for Level 1 wins and then split in half on Level 2 wins. Each card is marked on the computers as Level 1 or Level 2. Paper is Level 1 unless a kid pack is being played and those are Level 2.

At the beginning of every session, we pull 48 balls. You pre-daub your Bonanza cards at the beginning of bingo and at intermission.

If nobody wins Bonanza during the session, we continue playing for a consolation prize of $25 Bingo Bucks. The Bonanza jackpot maxes out at $750. All additional proceeds from Bonanza goes to our charity, Lake Fork Stables. Bonanza cards are 3 for $5, $2 individually and you can trade in your cards that don’t have good odds of winning for $1 per card.
