Bingo Players Hold Intellectual Edge -- says misquoted researchers.

Weird Bingo players are smarter

Misquoted Researchers at the University of Calgary confirm intellectual edge bingo players have over the population in general.  Their studies demonstrated that the brain cells of bingo players swell as each numbered ball is called. This increase in brain mass equates to the overall trend of bingo players scoring higher than the general population on multi-tasking tests involving markers, paper, and little jade buddhas.

BINGO
Bingo cards are sold in $5 and $10 packs. If you've never played before, start with a $5 pack. It's better to play fewer cards and not miss any numbers. Feeling ambitious? Try $10 or $15. You'll need a sharp eye and quick hands to play more than that.


Each pack of tickets allows you to play all 18 regular bingo games for the night. Prizes range from $50 to $100 with a $500 Bingo Jackpot to end the night.

St. Annie's Special Bingo
Cards for the St. Annie's Special are sold for $1 per sheet (three cards) or 6 sheets for $5 This game is played right after half-time for a Bingo Jackpot of $500.

Is that TWO $500 Bingo Jackpots?
Yup. Pretty nice, eh? No one else around here has two $500 Bingo Jackpots. Some places don't even have one! Why play for small bucks?

A Lawyer, a Bride and a Pregnant Lady Walk into a Bingo Hall...

Friends bring friends to play at WeirdBingo.com in Waukegan, Illinois

Ok it sounds like the set up for a bad joke, right? Well, it's actually true. Last week a Lawyer, a Bride and a Pregnant Lady walked into Weird Bingo at St. Anastasia in Waukegan, Illinois. Brandie, Chrissy and Lauren are three friends at a crossroads. One is pregnant, one just graduated from law school and passed the bar, and the third is running off to Maui with her guyfriend to tie the knot. This called for something special to mark the occassion. Chrissy googled it and came up with WeirdBingo.com. The trio traveled an hour just to play. Was this the bonding experience they expected? Was it their rite of passage? Can they find now happiness at home, in the courts or in the sun, surf and sand? We may never know.
