ABSTRACT:
All of the possible bingo numbers are displayed on an electronic reader board in the bingo game room. At the beginning of each game, an electronic random number generator selects a predetermined group of bingo numbers to be "blue" numbers, "green" numbers and "red" numbers. All of the other remaining numbers are "yellow" numbers for that particular game of bingo. When a player achieves a bingo, the player wins certain preestablished payouts depending upon whether the player has an all "blue" bingo, an all "green" bingo, an all "red" bingo, an all "yellow" bingo or any other bingo (which would be a "mixed color" bingo). The all "blue" bingo receives the highest payout, the all "green" bingo receives the next highest payout, the all "red" bingo receives the next highest payout, the all "yellow" bingo receives the next highest payout and the smallest payout is awarded to a regular "mixed color" bingo. A progressive feature can be added to the method of play of bingo in which the player makes a separate, additional wager to be eligible for the progressive jackpot payouts. Progressive jackpot pools can be established for an all "blue" bingo, an all "green" bingo, an all "red" bingo, an all "yellow" bingo or even for a "case" bingo. "Case" bingos are those in which a player has missed a bingo by one number. The "case" bingo is a "near miss" bingo and a jackpot pool can be used to pay those players who almost won.
