Dear Crushers,
NEXT BINGO SESSION: IN SEPTEMBER -- CHECK OUR SCHEDULE TO BE POSTED ON 1ST SEPTEMBER!
Suggested Jokes Theme : TBA
OUR PROGRESSIVE CASH JACKPOT CURRENTLY STANDS AT $38 (for 100 CCpoints per $1) (as at AFTER 26th AUGUST 2022 games played). (last jackpot winners (shared) were mlj774, annacris, Shirlsplay - $18 ($6 each) on game #1203.
OUR LUCKY NUMBER IS 33 and will remain the same UNTIL THE JACKPOT IS WON !!
Welcome to our monthly Bingo Marathon with 1 session (each of at least 4 games) per week during August 2022. There will be cash prizes every bingo session in addition to the monthly Bingo Points contest and Rhyming Bingo numbers draw (further details below) ...
This is a great opportunity to meet and chat with your fellow Crushers, make new friends and play our Free Live Chat Bingo Games, win some free cash whilst chatting and share and enjoy some jokes (and win 400 CC points for each joke you tell - up to a maximum of 10 that our host sees and likes)
Here is our planned schedule for this month.
Please note these are subject to change but this will only be done if really necessary. So please check this topic 2 days before the scheduled time in case we need to change any.
WEDNESDAY 3rd August 2022 - 3PM EST - Played - 3rd game was Crazy N-Z + 1 bonus game
*SATURDAY 13th August 2022 - 3PM EST - - sorry cancelled due to feeling unwell
** Friday 19th August 2022 - 3PM EST - NOT POSSIBLE (extra games will be added to other sessions during the month)
Friday 26th August 2022 - 6PM EST - Played - 3rd game was Crazy Pyramid + 3 bonus games
** I am unable to host any bingo that week as I will be away with family and it is difficult to schedule work during this time. I will make extra games in other sessions to make up for this
EACH BINGO SESSION HAS (at least) 4 GAMES!
Game 1: (Starting off simple)
First we will play Any Line with prizes of $1 for 100 ccpoints + 1 Bingo Point per bingo winner.
Game 2: (Callers choice)
This pattern (usually those with 6-8 numbers to get bingo) will be determined by the admin/bingo caller each week) . The prize will be a $2 cash prize for 1 winner, $1 cash prize for 2 or more (shared) winners + 1 Bingo Point per Bingo winner
Game 3: (Players Choice)
Players choice - Vote your desired pattern (above) from the selection above this month and we will play which ever has the most votes at the start of each session (votes will NOT be reset - but can be cast throughout the month) - if votes are equal when preparing for the session then I will play as many of the highest voted as possible over the month.
Game 3 will have $3 cash prizes for 1 bingo winner, OR $1 for shared bingo (2 or more winners) . Every bingo winner gets 1 Bingo Point also.
Game 4: The biggest game!
Coverall !!! The biggest of our games is the Coverall where you must match ALL numbers on your card to win bingo.
Prizes for this game:
$5 for 500 cc points for 1 Bingo Winner, $2 for 200 cc points for 2 or more (shared) Bingo Winners PLUS 1 Bingo Point per Bingo Winner!
EVERY BINGO GAME INCLUDES MORE GAMES AND PRIZES!
First To Red
When the firstCrusher(s) in a game gets a Red bingo card (meaning they only have 1 number left to get bingo) - they will (each) win 1 Bingo Point (these *MUST* be claimed by the players typing RED in Live Chat -- the admin/caller will allow between 20-30 seconds for you to call RED and claim your prize! Anyone not paying attention will NOT be credited their prize (no exceptions!)
The game is then paused for the following ...
Next Number guessing game
Everyone is asked to guess the next number to be called ...
Your game card window will change so that a grid of numbers not yet called in the current game will be displayed for you to choose from.
Each Crusher can have ONE guess and the first guess only will be taken.
You may choose the same number as another player.
When you choose your number it will be automatically entered into chat.
You *must* use the appropriate number button in your game card to submit your next number!
Typing it manually into chat will NOT be counted as a guess (no exceptions!)
When the next number is drawn, anyone that guessed the exact number ("on the nose") - will win 1 Bingo Point (each).
If nobody guesses the exact number then the closest (either way) guess(es) will instead win 200 cc points each (if equally close - higher or lower)
GOING FOR BINGO
The game will then continue until a player (or players) have bingo.
You *MUST* claim by typing BINGO in the chat room.
Anyone not claiming Bingo within around 30 seconds (admin/caller will count down the last 10 seconds) -- will have their card removed for the remainder of the game and we will continue until we have Bingo that is claimed.
EVERY BINGO SESSION HAS A "LUCKY NUMBER" (OR SET OF LUCKY NUMBERS - for example all numbers ending with a certain digit) for OUR NEW PROGRESSIVE CASH JACKPOT!
Before the start of each session - there will be a Lucky Number drawn and announced. If you get Bingo on the Lucky Number in ANY of the games during that session you will win the our PROGRESSIVE CASH POT! This starts at $10 and grows $1 each game that it is not won (there is no maximum). Note that you must have (or win/earn enough CC points in order that the prize be paid). The rate is 100 CC points required per $1 of prizes.
--> It is important that you CLAIM IF YOU WIN BINGO ON A LUCKY NUMBER .... When you type "BINGO" to claim bingo -- you can type "BINGO LUCKY or BINGO on Lucky Number" .. something that is obviously about claiming the jackpot for getting bingo on the Lucky Number
EVERY GAME HELPS TOWARDS THE MONTHLY PRIZE DRAW!
DURING (OR AFTER) EACH SESSION -- PICK YOUR RHYMING NUMBERS
For each Bingo Point you win, you are allowed to pick a "Rhyming Bingo Number" from the list of remaining (unpicked) numbers available.
These will be used to draw another 5 random winners of $3 (for 300 ccpoints) soon after the end of the month.
The Rhyming Bingo Numbers are noted and updated in the post below as they are chosen using our "Rhyme your Numbers" page linked to below:-
You can also access this page during our games from your game card window (near the top) so you can go ahead and rhyme your numbers as soon as your bingo point(s) are credited during the session
The numbers you can choose from are from 1 through 75 (as per our bingo games). You are encouraged to pick your rhyming number(s) as soon as you win a bingo point because in the fairly unlikely event that all 75 numbers get picked - then anyone winning a bingo point after all 75 are taken will be unable to pick a number!
AT THE END OF THE BINGO MARATHON (end of the month)
TOTAL BINGO POINTS PRIZES:
After the last scheduled session of the month the 1st and 2nd place Crushers with the most Bingo Points will each win $5 (for 500 cc points).
If there is a tie for 1st or 2nd place then prizes will be shared as follows:-
1st place drawn between 2 players - $5 for 500 cc points each
.............. drawn between 3 players - $3 for 300 cc points each
............... drawn for 4 or more players - $2 for 200 cc points each
(If there is a tie for 1st place - prizes will be shared as above, with no 2nd place prizes)
2nd place (only if there is a single 1st place winner)
............... drawn between 2 players - $3 for 300 cc points each
............... drawn between 3 players - $2 for 200 cc points each
............... drawn between 4 or more players - $1 for 100 cc points each
RHYMING BINGO NUMBER PRIZES
There will be *5* numbers randomly drawn from ALL of those that have rhymed bingo numbers ... (random numbers are drawn until we have 5 winners)
* Each member can win more than 1 rhyming number prize! Each rhyming number can only be picked once *
This draw will be made AFTER the end of the month to give players a chance to submit their final rhyming bingo numbers in the Rhyming Bingo Numbers topic for that month.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR RHYMING BINGO NUMBERS QUICKLY AFTER YOU WIN BINGO POINTS AND MOST IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS DONE BEFORE 6PM (EST) ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH!!!
PLEASE GO AND PICK AND RHYME YOUR NUMBERS AND USE YOUR BINGO POINTS AS YOU WIN THEM BECAUSE IF WE RUN OUT OF AVAILABLE NUMBERS (IF MORE THAN 75 BINGO POINTS ARE WON IN A MONTH) - THEN YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PICK A NUMBER (IF OTHERS HAVE ALREADY PICKED AND RHYMED THEM BEFORE YOU) AND THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE PRIZE (THEY WILL STILL COUNT IN THE LEADERBOARD OF COURSE)
The 5 x Rhyming Bingo prizes are $1 for 100 cc points each (Reduced from March 2022)
HOW TO PLAY CC CHAT BINGO
Before the start of each Bingo Session (this can be done any time after the cards have been reset each week - usually within 24 hours of the last bingo session) CLAIM YOUR BINGO CARD HERE to choose your bingo card for the next session (you need to pick a new one each week).
ARRIVE 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE THE SCHEDULED TIME BY CLICKING "LIVE CHAT BINGO" IN THE RED SECTION at the top of the forum. This will open a NEW Browser Window with BOTH your bingo card AND live chat to the right. YOU MAY NEED TO ADJUST THE SIZE OF THE WINDOW / MAXIMIZE IT in order to be able to see everything and to be able to type your messages into chat.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE POP-UPS ENABLED SO THAT YOUR GAME CARD POP-UP CAN BE ACTIVATED.
A few other important points:-
- Your card is Auto-Daubed as you play BUT YOU *MUST CLAIM* ANY PRIZES IN LIVE CHAT!
- If you do not chat much then your session in chat may expire and you may not be able to get in quick enough to claim your prize - so Stay Active in Chat! It is LIVE CHAT BINGO
If you have any problems getting into our chat room please send a Private Message to crushadmin for assistance (please type Bingo/Chat problem in your message subject).
RULES
We will aim to start our first game at 5 minutes after the session start time. Everyone wishing to play bingo should have their card claimed AND be in the chat room ready to play by that time.
In order to qualify for a Bingo Prize ... you MUST have entered the Chat Room within the first 5 numbers of the current game being called. If you happen to join after this - your card will be suspended for the current game but you will be able to join in the next game automatically.
You *MUST* be in the chat room and claim ANY prizes you win (this includes both FIRST TO RED prizes and BINGO) -- you must type "RED" when you are the first player to get Red (1 number to go) OR "BINGO" when you have got Bingo .... you will have 30 seconds from the time the number triggering your win is called. If you have not replied (or not in the room) within this time - your card will be suspended for the remainder of the game. Whilst some lee-way may be given if we understand a player is having difficulty with Live Chat - The Bingo Callers decision will be final.

Jokes / Chatter :- 400 CCpoints x 10 (max)
Congratulations to all our winners - all prizes have now been credited.
I have reset the bingo cards and generated a new set ready for you to choose ready for our next session (WEDNESDAY)
REGARDING THE APPARENT CALLING OF 33 THAT WASN'T SHOWING CORRECTLY.
The way our bingo chat works for calling numbers is by randomly selecting from the Pick and Rhyme numbers that you have entered each month when you win bingo points. When you enter them - only a basic check it made (i.e. that the number appears in your entry). Unfortunately, this means that single digit numbers (1 to 9) that might be included as part of a double digit number (10-75) would be accepted. One of the entries was for 3 but included the number 33 at the end (so technically it includes the number 3 - and was accepted).
I searched through the pick and rhymes number database and found this one and have now removed it so this will not happen again (unless someone accidentally mis-enters a different number that is accepted in a similar way) -- please try not to
Also NonoNanette didn't call Bingo Lucky when 33 was called on bingo because of this and so what I've done is credited a consellation prize of $5 for 500 CCpoints and the jackpot continues to grow with the same lucky number.
I hope that clears up those matters and I look forward to seeing you all again on Wednesday

Thanks Geno, I really did not expect to be compensated for my Lucky Bingo as I really should have been paying better attention. The $5 is much appreciated!

Dear Crushers,
I'm very sorry for the last minute notice but I am not feeling so well and really need to be feeling better for our planned trip tomorrow so I am going to have to cancel bingo in order to rest and hopefully be ready for tomorrow.
