In addition, the Kolinsky and Tawil references require players to monitor continuously the TV monitors to determine if they have won. In particular, the paper bingo cards are bulky, inconvenient to play on slot machine tops, messy, create a garbage disposal problem and most importantly, paper bingo cards distract players'attention from playing slot machines and/or table games while a bingo game is going on.
#BINGO CALLER NUMBER GENERATOR VERIFICATION#
Although Kolinsky and Tawil disclose automatic verification of sold bingo cards without player involvement, their teachings are not applicable in a casino environment for a number of reasons routed in the reliance on cumbersome paper bingo cards. To “cash-out”a winning paper bingo card, a player surrenders it to a cashier who enters the card “face number”, or preferably scans barcode imprinted on the card, into a computer system to validate the winning card. While Kolinsky's and Tawil's central computers automatically verify all bingo cards every time a new bingo number is called, players still monitor called bingo numbers on TV screens and manually mark (“daub”) their conventional paper bingo cards. 4,909,516 to Kolinsky and 5,951,396 to Tawil disclose automated bingo games that utilize computers to continuously check all playing bingo cards for matches with called bingo numbers and bingo patterns being played.
