The only difference is the way you play your card. With paper Bingo, you keep track of the numbers called by using a dabber to mark them off. With electronic Bingo, you enter your card number into the terminal, and it will automatically "dab" the numbers for you as they are called.

As with paper Bingo, it is the player's responsibility to call "Bingo!" loud enough for the caller to hear, and to raise a hand to be seen whether the player is playing paper or electronic Bingo. Your screen will not call Bingo for you, or in any way notify the caller.

Yell "Bingo!" loud enough for the caller to hear you and raise your hand. A member of the Superior Shores staff will then verify your winning card with the caller and you will be paid the prize according to the game. It is the responsibility of the player calling Bingo to be heard and seen, so don't be shy!

This is the number of balls required to win a big prize game such as Super Jackpot and Progressive. There are 75 numbers in the Bingo machine. If the designated number for a game is a certain number (for example, 50 numbers) you must get Bingo in 50 numbers called or fewer to win the big prize.

Players who get Bingo after 50 numbers will receive the consolation prize announced on that game.

We recommend that you arrive 20-30 minutes before the next Bingo session starts. This will give you plenty of time to buy your cards, get a drink and/or a snack, and settle in.

A Jackpot prize is a prize associated with a special. If the game is won under specific circumstances a Jackpot bonus prize will be paid out to the winner. A win of this nature requires a government-issued picture ID.
