sold at a uniform unit price, and when a specific colored sheet is sold for a

face red border listed as a special. This is not allowed.
Individual sales: These must be listed in the order that they are to be played, and

Cards/Sheets and Color” column.
A winning arrangement must be provided for each game played. Please bear in mind that
“To Be Announced” (TBA) is not allowed as an acceptable winning arrangement.
“Callers Choice” is acceptable as a winning arrangement only for WTA games.
List the prize amounts for each game while keeping in mind the allowable prize limits for
each type of game to be conducted.
o Regular game prizes – Prizes may be up to $200 each.
o Special game prizes Prizes may range from $201 up to $750 each, provided
that the total doesn’t exceed $2,500 on any one day.
o Special Grand Prize The rollover amount for a Special Grand Prize may not
exceed $500, and the maximum prize that may accumulate for up to sixteen
weeks is $5,000.

from the sale of bingo cards for the WTA game or series of games must be
awarded as prizes, and each prize awarded may not exceed $500 in value.

A maximum of two progressive games are allowed per session. If conducting a
progressive game, certain wording is required to be listed on the line(s) below the
progressive game information. The name of the winning arrangement and the words “in

If your organization intends to conduct a 50/50 game, a maximum payout amount must
be listed, as in the following example:
“50/50 max. $75.00”
Both copies of the Bingo Prize Sheet must be signed and dated by the designated
Member In Charge. Keep one copy for the organization’s internal records, and attach one
of the signed and dated copies to the application for the permit.
If any information must be changed after the Bingo Prize Sheet has been approved as part
of the organization’s application, an Application to Amend Bingo must be completed
and submitted for consideration of approval. The last original prize sheet that was
approved must be also be submitted with the desired changes noted in either red or blue
ink, and it must contain the original signature of the member in charge. Changes may
not be implemented prior to receiving an approved amend form, aside from two
exceptions. Winning arrangements and paper colors may be changed on the Bingo Prize
Sheet without an approved amendment to the permit. All other changes require
approval.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please Remember:
A winner-take-all game (WTA) is the ONLY game that can be played in parts. The
progressive jackpot game must say JACKPOT, PLUS GAME PRIZE”. The game prize
must be paid with the jackpot! Example: If the jackpot is worth $2,000.00, the winner will
receive $2,100.00 ($2,000.00 plus the game prize of $100.00).
In the event an admission coupon or ticket is part of an admission package, the price of
the admission coupon or ticket, if any, must be noted separately.
ONCE A BINGO PERMIT HAS BEEN ISSUED, AN “APPLICATION TO AMEND”
MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE ANY CHANGE CAN TAKE PLACE!
Please Note: Bingo cards or sheets must be sold at a uniform unit price, and when a specific
color sheet with the same number of faces is sold for a particular game or games, that same
color sheet with the same number of faces may not be sold again during the same bingo
occasion or session. Also, you may change the color of your sheets without having to file an
Application to Amend Bingo; however, if you are going to change the price of admission,
sheets of paper, or add or delete any games, you must submit and receive an approved
amendment application before any changes can be implemented. Each organization
desiring to amend the price of admission, sheets of paper, the number of games being
played or change its bingo prizes or pricing must provide an Application to Amend -
Bingo form, and a copy of the approved bingo prize and/or price sheet(s) with the
desired change(s) marked in red or blue ink. In addition, each prize or price sheet
submitted with changes must be signed by the bingo member in charge.
Organizations applying for a Class B bingo permit need to understand that due to the
nature of the activity to be conducted (a special event bingo game), the member in
charge of the organization may be required to attend a pre-bingo meeting as a
prerequisite to obtaining a permit.
TIMELY SUBMITTAL OF APPLICATIONS FOR BINGO PERMITS IS
IMPERATIVE. APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED AT LEAST TEN DAYS
PRIOR TO THE DATE OF AN EVENT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE ENOUGH TIME
FOR THE PROCESSING AND ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT.
