STAFF ANALYSIS
Class A bingo licenses are generally obtained for recreational and social purposes, returning all gross receipts to the players in prizes. The Association will offer music bingo on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. hosted by Bar Game Show Productions with a host fee of $350. The Association will charge $5 per person with a maximum of 80 participants which will cover the host fee and some light snacks and sodas. The host will play five rounds with no cash payout, instead winners will be given a $10 gift certificate to CantaMia at Estrella Café as prizes, with funding to come from their social events budget. The bingo license will be valid for a year from the date issued and allows the holder to conduct bingo games for which the gross receipts do not exceed $75,000 per year.
