99-01.3-04-01. Bingo.

"Bingo" is when a player buys a card or uses a bingo card marking device and marks squares, or a radio frequency signal or Wi-Fi transmission marks squares on a marking device, as a caller announces a letter and number or only a number for speedball bingo. Speedball bingo is a game in which a bingo caller announces the drawn numbers in a fast manner. A winning player of a game is the player who first covers a predetermined pattern of squares by matching letters and numbers on a bingo card with balls drawn and called for that or another game and timely calls out the word "bingo". Except for quick shot bingo and bonus games, there must be a winning player for each bingo game. Quick shot bingo is a bingo game in which all of the numbers are predrawn and that may or may not have a winning player and if there is a winning player, the player is not required to timely call out the word "bingo". Bonanza bingo is a game in which a bingo caller predraws a certain quantity of balls before a session begins for a predetermined pattern and unless a player has already won, the caller will draw additional balls until a player wins the game. In both quick shot and bonanza bingo games, players may buy and play the cards throughout the session.
