BINGO!
On Saturday, Dane and I decided to go play a little Bingo at the local Redrock Casino. They have a session starting every two hours and if you are a real Bingo die-hard you can hit the 9 am session and get some free doughnuts :) We however opted for the 9 pm session. People started lining up to get their cards at 8:30 but the cashiers didn't open for another 10 minutes or so. We got in line and got up to the cashier and we pretty much said this is our first time, what do we do but of course Dane and I first had to show some ID to prove we were old enough to gamble :) The guy tells us we can get 6 pages of cards (6 cards on each page) for $4.00/person and if we want to pay an extra $1 we can get an extra 'double' card that is played for $1000 winnings against all the Stations casinos, we decided why not. We then had to purchase the official ink blotter because if you call BINGO and your card isn't stamped with an official ink blotter your win doesn't count. I went for a classic American Flag with a tribute to Abe Lincoln himself on it. Dane on the other hand decided to be lame and get the Redrock blotter. When his dropped out of the vending machine though, it was purple. (Thankful our friend Rob was with us so I got some help making fun of Dane for that one :) ) We sat down and we were a little confused as to how it was going to work we had 6 pages of cards but didn't know when to play them, what game to play and what we were supposed to do with the extra game card we bought for a $1. Rob asked an older guy next to us what we do because he was a regular (you can pick out all the regulars). Looking around we realized too that if you didn't want to take the effort to use the paper cards and the ink blotter you could use a computer that does everything for you, so all you have to do is sit back, relax and call BINGO when the music starts to play on your computer. There were some hard-core players that were using a computer and paper to up their odds. We had everything figured out and were ready to start Bingo. You can't believe how intense it gets in the room when the numbers start to get called. It is dead silent until someone hits Bingo then everyone groans :) The session lasted about an hour but none of us won sadly but we had so much fun we decided to play the 11 session too.
The 11:00 had way less people so already our odds were higher so we were ready to win. We went to get our new cards and our free drinks, Dane ordered us a Pepsi and a Mt Dew and I kid you not, they carded him. No alcohol but he had to show ID, go figure :) We sat down for another round and sadly none of us won again. You can bet though that this is going to be a regular activity for us! It is pure entertainment for $10! You can't pass that up - cheaper then a movie!

Can't wait to join the action, are we still on for the Dark Knight on Friday? I have your tickets pre-purchased, we were thinking maybe we could even catch the 11 oclock session of BINGO?
That's so fun. So, when I come and visit you we should totally go! I can see you and Dane becoming regulars.

Wow! There are some hardcore bingo players out there, huh? That's awesome!
