Bingo in the Buff: New Zealand nudists provide scenic backdrop for bingo game
|
| If you thought bingo was a bland game for squares, then think again. Adding some natural spice to the game we all know and love, members of a nudist colony in New Zealand have planned a “bare bum” bingo game for their biannual “camp-out by the sea” get-together. Approximately 200 nudies are basking in the New Zealand summer sun at the Taranaki Naturist Club, where, besides bingo, other “dress down” events are going to be held until January 3rd. |

Full Houses for Poker, an Empty “House” for Bingo
|
| For years now, staging bingo nights has been a blue-chip strategy for U.S. charities in need of funding. Most non-profit organizations are run on shoestring budgets, usually by people who nobly give of their time in the name of the charitable cause. Typically, these very same volunteers staff charity bingo games, acting as bingo callers, receipt collectors, and event organizers. Recently, however, there has been a steady decline in proceeds from bingo events. |

Baby Bingo in North Dakota?
|
| North Dakota pre-teens can now busy themselves with a more adult passion, bingo! While state law allows anyone under the age of 18 to play bingo if accompanied by an adult, only recently have bingo halls lowered their age limit to admit even 10-year-olds. These youngsters can pick up some serious lunch money as minors, like adults, are exempt from paying taxes on bingo winnings of up to $1,200. |
