HORSE RACE BINGO
BINGO COMBINES WITH HORSE RACES FOR TEXAS FLAVOR TO GAMBLING FUN
Legal gambling is limited in Texas, so it should come as no surprise that Texans like to combine two of the most popular ways to gamble in the state – horse racing and bingo
.
Here's how they do it: turn a bingo game that includes pull tabs into a horse race fit for even the most avid gambling aficionado.
Yep, here in Texas you can win money on a horse race in a bingo hall! It is sometimes played at charity bingo halls run by fraternal organizations or it can be in your local bingo hall which benefits hundreds of other charities across the state.
In this game, players buy pull tabs with a horse race on it and the bingo numbers are called when bingo balls are drawn from the hopper. Bingo players open the pull tabs and hold the ones that have the numbers one through 75 on them so that they correspond with the bingo flashboard. Under each horse there is five numbers so whoever finishes with all the numbers called under a particularhorse wins the game.
This is a fast paced and exciting form of bingo and has a growing number of fans across the state which has a long tradition of betting on the horses.

The Silver Derby's sole intention upon inception twenty years ago was never to become known as 'the' Rival to BINGO nor a Maverick in entertainment for seniors. It was simply the 'tool' used to get 'in the door' and introduce socializing on a whole new level (without them realizing it)!

Horse racing bingo is becoming increasingly popular at horse racing tracks during the slow season. Many of them have bingo and slot machines down on a lower level, or even table games if the laws allow it.
- This bingo card has a free space and 8 words: horse race 1, horse race 2, horse reace 3, horse race 4, horsese race 5, horse race 6, wheel of fun 1 and wheel of fun2.
- THE idiot invader who risked death by running into the middle of a horse race has been charged with criminal nuisance. Racing fans the world over were stunned after TV cameras caught the man hoppin.
Bingo is a very easy game to play, and if you don't know a particular variant then there will always be a copy of the bingo rules for whatever type they offer.
Bingo is a low-risk, low-reward game perfect for gamblers who want to dip their toes into gaming before moving on to horse-betting. There are entire websites devoted to playing online bingo.
Online bingo is especially popular in the UK. There are both free bingo sites and paid bingo sites. Of course, you can't win any money if you're playing a free site!
Horse Racing Bingo Cards
There are special Bingo Cards at certain racetracks. A computer program generates standard 75-ball bingo cards, but instead of numbers the cards are marked with particular results in races. For instance, one space may say 'Same race: #1 and #2 in the money', or 'Show: #7 horse'. Players of horse racing bingo can go for a single-line bingo win or a blackout bingo win. It's a great way to learn how to pay attention to a horse race and learn some basic lingo.
There are quite a number of U.S. race tracks that have this type of bingo, including Churchill Downs, Fairmount Park, and Meadowlands Racetrack. Here is some of the lingo you might encounter:
Win, Place, Show: The horse that wins 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place respectively.
Photo finish: A race that is so close to call that photo or video of the race has to be examined by officials.
Trifecta: A particular wager where someone tries to pick which horses will finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in that order. A very difficult wager!
Exacta: This is like the Trifecta, but only for the first two placed horses.
In the money: A horse that wins 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place is 'in the money'.
These are all very basic horse betting terms, so if you want to introduce a friend or significant other to the world of horse betting, then playing some horse racing bingo is a great way to start.
Of course, if they have no interest in horses then there is always fun to be had playing the bingo machines, slot machines, or video poker machines elsewhere in the track. As long as everyone is having fun, that's what's important, right?
