Ok so I don't remember the exact date considering I"m writing this like 3 weeks later. But Aimee invited me to play Bingo. It was quite interesting with weird rules. You are not allowed to just come in and watch. You have to buy the bingo sheets. And they are specifically colored so you can't just use any board to play which means if you come late you have to start from whatever everyone else is using. Instead of just any sheet. Then of course each game has specific rules like you have to get any two lines filled or a diamond or the entire board. Oh and its not super quiet, but most people don't talk and the only thing you hear are the people working selling "tic tacs" (which I will explain later) or people making "shhushing" noises to tell people to be quiet or for some just doing it for their own amusement ahem. And its really intense people get upset, but I guess they would if they are trying to win $500. The announcer wasn't very good because you could barely hear her, but even if people were making noises the numbers appear on the board and you can see the ball come out on the TV screens even before the lady announces it. So as long as you pay attention to that you don't need to hear her. Although you are not allowed to announce BINGO until she reads it. I just bought the $6 worth which are 3 packs each with 3 boards so 9 boards per game. Get it? Anyway the last game I was soooo close. I only needed I think 2 more to win. But someone called it. Oh well it was fun.
Oh so these ladies go around yelling tic tacs and I'm like what like the mint. They are a $1 each with 9 squares. If they don't have numbers then they are useless and you just wasted a dollar. However if they do have numbers. At the end of the bingo games. They continue to call numbers. If you are able to fill all 9 squares which usually already has like free bonuses then you win more money.
