Section R15-7-209. Method of Call and Announcement of “Bingo” by a Player

A.      Once a caller has initiated a call, the caller shall complete the call. A call is initiated when the caller begins to vocally announce the letter designation on the bingo ball.

B.       A caller shall allow a reasonable length of time for a player to announce “bingo” before proceeding with the next call.

C.      A caller shall not remove more than one bingo ball at any time from the receptacle.

D.      A caller shall not declare a player as the winner of a bingo game, unless the player has obtained “bingo” on the last called number and has announced the “bingo” to a bingo worker before initiation of the next call.

E.       A caller may turn off the machine used to select the bingo balls during a game if the next bingo ball can be secured so that it does not fall into the receptacle. The caller shall call the num- ber of the secured ball unless a valid bingo is declared on the prior number called.
