When we go to Bingo at one of the recreational centers, the cost is probably three dollars a person if you buy an extra card. At our favorite bingo, you get a free ice cream sundae at break with a variety of self added toppings and the "take", the money received at the door, is redistributed to the crowd for cash prizes.(I think they have sugar free ice cream too)
Usually there is a limit of 100 folks. One time Helene won around sixty dollars. She is still smiling.
The only bad thing is that you have to sign up early during high season for Bingo. I mean
early and in person at the regional rec center the next day after it is announced in the recreational news at 8:30 in the morning. It fills up in ten minutes.
We missed the cut the last two times.
