                      This is bingo like you've never played it before.  No deadly serious faces, no shushing, no intensity.  At STI's bingo you'll find fun, laughter, friendly faces, whole families, a caller who teases everyone, and yes - cash prizes!  Every other Friday is "blingo" - wear your biggest and brightest bling!

                      Support STI by joining us to play bingo every Friday night at the Senior Center across from Tommy Knockers (14th and Miner St. in Idaho Springs).  Bingo is lots of fun and everyone is welcome. 

                      • Kids have fun playing too - and can play for half price.
                      • Doors open at 6:00,  games start at 6:30
                      • $10 at the door buys a multiple game card for each game (a total of 36 game boards);  additional game cards are just $1 each. 
                      • NEW!  Kids 12 and under can play for a half sheet of games (i.e. 3 game boards for each of the six games) for only $5!
                      Bingo Occasion Rules:
                      1.    All players are required to  purchase a minimum of 1 pack of playing sheets, which includes 1 sheet for each of the 6 games.  The first pack costs $10, subsequent packs for the same player are $6 each.  Half packs are available for kids 12 and under for $5.
                      2.    Cards are labeled or otherwise marked to indicate which game the card is for (i.e. game #1, or game #2, or game #3 and so on).  A bingo win qualifies only if it is on the correct game card corresponding to the game being played.  For example, if we are on the 3rd game, a bingo win will only qualify if the card it is on is marked with a #3 (or otherwise identified by STI bingo volunteers as belonging to game #3).
                      3.    Participants may buy as many additional playing packs as they like for $6 apiece, provided they first buy the minimum of one pack of 6 sheets for $10.
                      4.    Adult participants may buy additional single game sheets for $1 apiece, provided they first buy the minimum of one pack of 6 sheets for $10.
                      5.    Participants may pay for packs with cash or a debit card.  No credit cards and no checks will be accepted.  The minimum purchase with a debit card is 6 packs ($40).
                      6.    Used bingo cards are collected after each game.
                      7.    Participants who arrive late and miss one or more games are still required to buy a pack of playing sheets for $10.   The unused cards for games already played are forfeit.
                      8.    Packets include one Bingo sheet for each of the 6 games.
                      9.    You must be 18 years or older to purchase bingo cards, raffle tickets, or other games of chance (such as seal cards). 
                      10.    Kids under 18 are allowed to play the games and win prizes, but their game cards and/or raffle tickets must be purchased by an adult.
                      11.    Game play stops when someone announces "Bingo!"  STI volunteers will verify that the card is truly a winner.  The caller will ask if there are any other Bingo winners ; if nobody announces that they are a winner, the game will be closed.  If there are two or more winners identified before the game is closed, the prize money will be divided equally among them.
                      12.    Games Manager is the final authority in the event of any disputes.
                      13.    If electrical power is lost during an occasion, the Games Manager shall wait a minimum of thirty (30) minutes but no more than one hour before declaring an occasion terminated. Reimbursement for games not played will be made when the occasion is terminated.
                      14.    These bingo occasion rules shall not be in conflict with the bingo-raffles law or the Games Manager Reference Manual.
                      15.   Prizes for bingo games are dependent on the number of players as follows:

                      # of "Players"

                      Number of players is calculated as follows:  each $10 packet = 1; $6 additional packet = 1/2;  $5 children's packet = 1/2; half time $5 packet = 1/2

                      Prizes per game (games 1 through 6)

                      0 - 10
