Bingo question

[Gill H]

When we go to Peter's family we play bingo at their social club (think Phoenix Nights - seriously!)

We get a book of tickets and each game has 6 tickets, one under the other, so a page has every number from 1 to 90.

So, on the cruises, when they talk about buying 6 games for $40, is that what they mean? Six tickets, one under the other?

Or is there just one ticket for each game?

Trying to budget!

Having watched some videos, it looks like the sheet of paper has multiple grids, and all of those are for one game only - correct?

So if you want to play for the whole session, how much do you need to spend?

6 games is 6 sheets of (I think) 6 cards per sheet. So it would be $40 for a book of 6 sheets with 6 cards per sheet. Does that make sense?

No it's not the same and seemed V expensive to me.

Thank you, that does make sense!

What puzzled me is, looking at the pictures, some sheets had the same number on more than one card. I am used to each number only appearing once per sheet.

As suggested by the Touring Plans article I've read, we will take dabbers rather than poke the paper - don't trust myself not to rip it.

Yes, it does seem expensive (I am used to paying just over a fiver for my whole session - book of 10 and 3 flyers!). But I think we will give it a go.

Yeah it's not like normal bingo you can have numbers on multiple cards I believe. I've only played a few times (mainly with free cards that I've got at other events). The only issue with dabblers is the paper is flimsy and I'll find pen might go through so fold it so u only have one sheet on the table (I believe u aren't allowed to seperate but again not 100% sure)

We went along this year and decided to pass. It was silly money to play. You do get "free" bingo tickets as you progress through the grades on Royal Caribbean

Well, we gave it a go!

It was $40 for two books, and yes, one sheet per game. The game lasted about an hour. It was good fun though we didn't win anything.

We also did the very last game when it was $40 for one book - so we shared a book and did 3 cards each.

Very expensive alright but worth having a go for one day!
