Does the law say anything about how bingo games must be conducted?
Yes. Once you have authority to conduct bingo sessions, there are quite detailed rules, set out in Victoria’s gambling laws, which prescribe the way games of bingo (and sessions of games) must be conducted. The rules can be varied upon application to VCGR, however in their current form they include: • versions of bingo games; • price of tickets and admission; • duties of the caller and supervisor; • distribution of prize money; and • standards of bingo tickets and number generators. The full rules for conducting bingo events can be found on the VCGR website (see link under ‘Related Resources’ below).
