How to Play Foxwoods Casino Video Bingo

Typical bingo games require players to manually dab their cards using colored dabber, but some casinos take this process one step further with video bingo. Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut offers bingo patrons a chance to play video bingo. It costs doubles the price to play video bingo at Foxwoods, but this is because a video terminal comes with double the amount of cards. There are differences between Foxwoods video bingo and regular bingo that make it a whole new bingo-playing experience.

Instructions

1. Line up in the video bingo line. At Foxwoods Casino, this line is located to the far right outside of the bingo hall. You should arrive early because in many cases the video bingo terminals will quickly sell-out.

2. Pay for your video bingo package. The price will be at least double the regular bingo admission, but could cost more if you order add-ons like specials and extra cards.

3. Choose a four-digit personal identification number (PIN). This PIN is required to log in to a video bingo terminal so make it something you can remember. Enter the PIN twice on the admission keyboard to activate it.

4. Enter the bingo and choose a video terminal to play at. There are two video bingo rooms, smoking and nonsmoking. The smoking video area is most of the bingo hall. The nonsmoking area is located to the left of the bingo stage and also has slot machines.

5. Tap on a video bingo screen with your finger to activate it. Type in your account number located on your admission receipt followed by the four-digit PIN you created earlier.

6. Click on the button on the right that says “Bonanza Bingo”. The first 40 numbers for Bonanza bingo are called prior to the start so you can pre-dab your cards. Tap on the balls to cover all of your cards and see how many numbers are remaining.

7. Study the features of the screen. The bottom left section will scroll through your best cards. The box in the bottom center will display the game name and prize amount. The right side shows the last ball dabbed or called and a small text box underneath displays how many balls have been called for the game. The top section features three display options; you can see the flash board, three best cards, or all of the cards at once.

8. Click on the options button to load bingo features. Here you can change display settings such as background, dabber, and even use the option to hide numbers.

9. Press each number as the bingo game progresses. The screen will tell you how many numbers are remaining and if you have achieved bingo. If you miss a number, it will stay up and can be dabbed when you click on all of the balls.

10. Lock your screen if you get up so that no one attempts to steal your terminal or log you out. To log back in, just enter your PIN number.
