A note about "unusual" games:Most games that stray from the norm of regular, hardway and double bingo are usually a variation of the latter. The most common variations form a letter, such as "L," "T," "C" and "X." Games to look out for are the "Crazy Kite," at Plaza and Fiesta Henderson and the "Triple Postage Stamp" at Plaza and Fiesta Henderson. All bingo monitors, however, demonstrate the different ways to win on these games.

These neighborhood casinos also offer bingo:Silver Nugget, (702) 399-1111, Poker Palace, (702) 649-3799, and Western, (702) 384-4620.

Bingo lingo

Bonanza:A progressive coverall jackpot that is usually played as the 13th game of the session. Forty-five numbers are drawn before the session, and players mark them on separate cards and set aside. There is an additional fee to play this game, usually $1. The countdown begins at 48 numbers or fewer and goes up one number per week to 52 numbers or until won. The amount of the jackpot is determined by card sales for that game.

Cash ball:A progressive jackpot that pays off with a bingo on the called number (number is drawn before the session begins). Validation is required to win the jackpot.

Coverall:When you cover all 24 numbers on one bingo card.

Dauber:The ink-filled pen used to mark called numbers.

Money ball:A number drawn before the game that will double a player's winnings if bingo is hit on that number.

Hardway bingo:Bingo in a straight line without the use of the free space.

Minimum buy-in:The least amount you must spend to be eligible for prizes.

Progressive:A jackpot that accrues until it is won. There is usually a separate buy-in for these games.

Rainbow pack:A paper pack that allows players to play for three or four different prize denominations at once.

Six-pack, Nine-pack:Six or nine numbers in a block on one card.

T.E.D., G.T.I.:An electronic dauber system used to play multiple packs at once. These usually require a rental fee and only one is allowed per player.

Validation:Eligibility required to win additional jackpot amounts. Price varies by number of cards played.

Wild number:Usually played on a double bingo that leads into a triple bingo. The first number out of the hopper determines the wild number -- for example, if 42 is drawn, all numbers ending in 2 should be marked off.
