Daub 4 Pull Tab Games

The pull-tab daub 4 games are getting big. You buy the pull-tab special game hoping to get a card that has 4 bingo numbers on it. Most places play the game separately, calling numbers until someone has "daubed all 4 numbers" and wins. These games are worth from $500 to $1449. (Just saw the $1449 last night).You win the whole amount even though they show 4 games on the same card. See, the card has the same numbers on all 4 games making the coverer the winner of the entire amount. Most games pay either $1000 or $1199, just under the reported amount for the IRS. Pretty sneaky, heh?
 
It seems like some folks have the luck. I have friends who have won several times on the $1199 games. Others get close every week, but no cigar. Also, they play these games between the regular games. Seems the night gets longer and longer. I have heard of places that play these games with the regular games so there is no delay.
 
What do you think? Do you like these games? Is the chance at $1000 worth the extra money and time spent? I am torn. It seems the more they are played, the more pull-tab games the places sell. My fav place has gone from selling 3 safari pull tab games to 6 now. At $10 worth each time it really adds up. And if you buy 20 of each game, you will be in the dog-house before you get home if you don't win!
 
At least it goes to charity...

Vegas fun coming up!

Whoo hoo, I am saving up my bingo funds for Vegas. Going the last week of this month and I will have some fun. Gold Coast is generous enough to give me a room for a couple nights and I will play and play!
 
My mom is meeting me there, she is from Arizona. She is so excited she may wet herself! LOL
 
Good luck to all who play.

Great time at Elks Marathon

Hey everyone,
What fun on Sunday at the Elks Marathon in Mission Viejo. Guess it is cause I won a game! It was a hardway line with a corner stamp. I thought it said no overlap, but when I showed my friend the pattern with overlap she said, "You got it! Is it on the next number or do you call it now?" Boy, thank goodness I showed her, I had it on the next number and all by myself! Too funny, there was a bonus and pull tabs in it for her!
Hope you had fun at your games. If there is a place you have fun at, I would love to hear about it!
Thanks and good luck all,
Terry
