Tuesday March 1st was the inaugural event utilizing California’s new Remote Caller Bingo Law. California’s Remote Caller Bingo law was a terrific move by California legislators to help the state’s charities raise funds in the wake of needed cutbacks and other consequences of recent economic times. It allows charities to conduct bingo games that offer larger prize money on par with casinos. A central location broadcasts a bingo game via video and broadband technologies to charity halls around the state. These locations, receiving the the simultaneous broadcast, play traditional paper and dauber bingo based off of the live ball call from the broadcast location.

Tuesday night’s players where surprised at how smooth the game and technology went. Even more than the technology, players were thrilled to win far greater prize money than the older traditional charity bingo law allowed. There were winners in every charity location. The biggest winner of all was not a player but the American Legion Post 208 in Dixon California who’s earnings for charity in a single night were in the thousand of dollars. For the American Legion post in Dixon, earnings like this on a weekly basis will allow the post to continue funding their many worthy causes. Bingo Innovations of California is licensed by the California Gambling Control Commission to broadcast and manage these games. Craig Van Sant, Director of Sales and Marketing for Bingo Innovations of California adds, “We currently have a backlog of over 30 charities signed up and waiting to join the game and more groups are inquiring everyday. These new groups coming on board will lead to even more prize money for players, new and exciting games and more money for the charities that host the games.

Games will continue on Tuesday nights. For times, locations and promotions visit us at LinkedBingo.com
