David Lindeman called out "Flash," the pull-tab game he was selling for $1 a play as he walked under the harsh florescent lights of Jackpot Bingo. The hall off Winchester Road was quiet despite the steady patter of the bingo caller, the voices of parents selling pull-tabs and the occasional yelp from one of the 100 players, signaling bingo.

Two Sunday nights a month, Lindeman, a civil engineer, sells pull-tabs to raise money for Tates Creek High School baseball and softball teams.

Online gaming software developer, Playtech, has announced a new UK-style, 90 ball online bingo game to complement its US-style 75 ball game introduced 18 months ago.

The new game, which brings all the familiar features of a typical UK bingo hall into an online package, will be implemented first by the Bingoland network, arguably the largest networked pari-mutuel bingo game in the world. Bingoland already uses Playtech's integrated 75-ball bingo suite.

The ticket format of the 90-ball game differs somewhat from the 75-ball game. Each ticket has 3 rows of numbers and each game has 3 winners: the first to complete one row, the first to complete 2 rows and the first to complete 3 rows (the entire ticket).

The Friday night bingo games that St. Mary's Catholic Church sponsors at the Bingo Hall on Milton Road are going to be smoke-free beginning Sept. 2.

The church has seen a steady decline in participation and it's been hard to garner support from the parish community because smoking was allowed, said Sandi Carr, the bingo coordinator. She said it's important people participate because the funds go toward defraying the mortgage costs of the new church on Lowell Street.
