So true! What is being done in several States is that there are
profesionaly managed Bingo Halls that need NPO's to "sponser" games &
provide volenteers to do the work with the cost of the hall & equipment
rental all as a package. State laws vary but I have seen this type of Bingo
Hall in FL, CO & NH. It is worth checking it out since most States with
Lotteries appear to have used the same template for their Bingo laws.

It is a cash prize deal in most States that have Bingo Halls. I don't
know the split or rental cost. Maybe Lady Serian can put us in touch with
THL Johann who is in charge of the Fund? I have lost his edress.
