Always a good time with Juke Box Bingo!! No numbers in this game, they’re gone! We have replaced the 75 numbers with 75 songs. On each bingo card there are 25 song titles and no two cards are the same. As the game begins, we play 25 seconds of a song. The player then checks their card and if the song is there, mark it off. The first one to match the bingo pattern, yells BINGO!!!! Don’t worry if you don’t know the name of the song - The song names are eventually shown on the video screen. It’s simple, fun, and free to play. PRIZES!!!
