Brief: Regulators OK trial of new casino game
Thursday, Jan. 7, 1999 | 11:47 a.m.
The field trial will takes place in Las Vegas at the Gold Coast, Bally's and Rio hotel-casinos.
CDS said the Bandit Series uses high-end animated graphics and CD-quality sound. Like a traditional video slot game, the player spins the reels to line up certain symbols for customary payouts.
As the player spins the reels, bingo ball symbols appear on the reels.
Like a conventional bingo game, as these symbols match corresponding numbers on the player's "bingo card," the card is "daubed."
When the player daubs all the symbols on his or her chosen bingo card configuration, a bonus payout is awarded.
Bandit Bingo debuted last year at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City after receiving New Jersey regulatory approval.
