Baby Shower Bingo Game

Baby shower bingo—like all bingo events—can be a host for cheaters. For the most part bingo is free of crookedness that appears in other forms of gambling. A few professional operators who run bingo games at fairgrounds, amusement parks and other public places are not always satisfied with their percentage of the take, so they cheat the players of the big jackpot prizes that they have advertised.

The cheat often works like this. They plant a woman in the house who works for them who wins the big prize and later returns the prize. She’ll receive only her fee for her night’s work. She wins because she is given a couple of bingo boards whose numbers have been recorded on a sheet of paper which the announcer keeps within view. Sometimes the identifying marks are placed near the numbers on the master board which correspond with those on the house player’s card.

As the cheating announcer draws numbers from the cage, he’ll miscall one or more numbers. He might see that the house player needs certain numbers to go bingo, so he’ll pretend to read those two numbers from the next two balls drawn. The house player then shouts Bingo! And the announcer confirms the numbers and checks the card then gives her the jackpot. The other players in the room have no idea what is happening.
