There will be some changes coming to Bingo in the next two months. First

there will be some Program lineup and Pattern changes. These will be an-

nounced before implementation. Payouts on the games will stay the same.

Also some computer Bingo will be offered, hopefully for the month of either

February or March. Computer Bingo will be voluntary based on each players

decision. Not everyone will have to use the computers, it will be a matter of

personal choice. Stay tuned for more.
