 TINGO:
Tingo is a fun game for all ages! It is
similar to Bingo, but the TINGO games use playing cards. 4 players per
table with one deck of cards (52); cards divided into 13 cards per player.
TINGO dealer draw a card and it shows the suit and number. One of the 4
players has the same card and takes it out. One player has to takes all 13
cards out to win the game. TINGO has 5 rounds and one bonus round with more
than 60 players. Simple and fun! Another simple fun game: Totto...it is
like a lottery. Player gets to choose a number before the TINGO games
begin. In the middle of the TINGO games, dealer will draw one number out of
1-100. When the number is announced, dealer will look at the Totto paper to
find out who is a lucky winner.
Games start at 8pm.
Players may take seats after 7pm,
