Bingo
Loyal Halifax Forum Bingo Customers, We want to thank all of you for your patience during this unprecedented time. As some have you heard, some bingos have started to open, or plan to open in the next couple of days. After careful consideration, we have decided to delay the opening of our bingo little longer. Obviously, the health and safety of our bingo customers is our number one consideration. Taking into account the recommendations from Nova Scotia Public Health, we feel right now would not be the best time to open. We will be carefully watching the epidemiology of COVID -19 from New Year’s eve and the return of out of province travelers for the holiday season. We will continue to evaluate the situation daily, and hope to open up in the next week or two. Please stay tuned to our media channels ( voice message 902-490-4537, Facebook, website, etc.) for any updates. Once again, thank-you for your patience and we look forward to seeing back in our bingo hall very soon. When we do open, our building bingo pots will be as follows: Rainbow Loonie – $5000 One Loonie – $5000 Twoonie Amount – $964 Progressive Bonanza – $2600 in 53 numbers or less.

Our reservation policy in the short term is as follows: The reservation phone line is 902-490-4537. The times the reservation line will be open, and the dates you can book for during each time is below. There is no voice message. Therefore, if the line is busy, please keep trying until you reach someone during the designated time. Tables / seats are booked on a first come first serve basis. Once our table capacity becomes full for each day, we cannot take any more reservations. Nightly walkins will be allowed if capacity is not reached by previous reservation. Once capacity is reached, no more walkins will be allowed. Reservation Times: -Monday’s – Closed When the reservation line closes each day at 4:30pm, we will leave a voice message on the reservation line ( 902490-4537) with the amount of walk-in tables that are available each night. Suggestion: The reservation line is generally very busy between 12:30pm and 1:30pm. If you are not looking to book a specific seat, you might want to wait until after that time period to call in as there is less a chance the line will be busy. That is especially true if you are booking for a future night other than the day you are calling.

Flashboards are for customer convenience only, and the bingo is not responsible for any mechanical error or malfunction 8.Once the caller has dropped the bingo balls and the game is announced “closed” no other bingo can be honoured. 9.As of March 1st, 2016, all customers attending bingo must be at least 12 years old. Players under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult/guardian. 10.There will be no saving tables for other players. 11.All “Value Packs” must be played in full, they are not to be separated in any way. 12.Cell phones and pagers should be turned off or on vibrate. 13.Customers should not use profanity in the bingo hall 14.The first 47 numbers of the bonanza game will be called at the start of bingo. The remaining uncalled numbers will be returned to the bingo machine hopper until the second half of the game resumes. ( Right after the Dual Dab Game ) 15.Regular format game books and the twoonie jar must be purchased before the completion of game #4. 16.Payment of prizes is only valid with proper serial numbers sold on the day of the game. 17.The twoonie jar amount is capped at $10,000. Once it reaches that amount, it will be awarded within 12 weeks of the date it reaches the capped amount. 18.The rainbow loonie jar (included in the $3.00 price of the rainbow game) will cap at $5000.00. It will be awarded on an advertised date within 12 weeks of capping at $5000.00 19.On the “special bingo games” ( the twoonie and loonie pots ), the last number called must be included in the winning pattern of the valid bingo to win those progressive prizes 20.If a bingo is cancelled or delayed for any reason before the start of bingo, a message will be put on our voice message ( 451-1900, option #2 ) prior to 4:30pm. The Executive Director of the Alcohol & Gaming division will be notified 21.Staff that are acting as caller or a checker during a specific bingo game shall not play in that bingo game 22.The manner in which all our games are played and prizes are awarded are specified on our bingo program format. 23.The one liner loonie jar (included in the $2.00 price of the One Liner game) will cap at $5000.00. It will be awarded on an advertised date within 12 weeks of capping at $5000.00. 24.Once a caller has started calling any portion of a bingo ball (the number or the letter), the bingo ball will be considered called and the caller must complete calling the rest of that bingo ball. Therefore, that number is officially out. 25.The bonanza game will pay a progressive pot if won in the allotted numbers. The progressive pot starts at $1000 if won in 50 numbers or less. It will increase $100 each night of bingo to a cap of $7000 and we will add a number every 7th bingo night ( after the 1st night ) until it is won. The bonanza will pay 50% of the take only if the progressive pot is not won. This holds true if the bonanza pot is won within the first 47 numbers called at the start of the bingo session.
