For charitable and fraternal organizations wishing to conduct bingo games in Oregon. "Bingo" means a game played on a printed form or card containing a grid bearing horizontal and vertical lines of numbers. Each card must include the same number of numbers. The numbers may be pre-printed or completed by the players. Numbers are drawn from a receptacle containing no more than 90 numbers, until there are one or more winners. A winner(s) is determined by the player(s) to first cover or uncover the selected numbers in a designated combination, sequence or pattern as they appear on the player's card. The progress toward a "bingo" of the non-winning players shall be irrelevant in determining the prize payout for the winner(s). A "blackout" (i.e., covering all squares on the grid) shall qualify as a designated sequence or pattern. Games which do not qualify as bingo include, but are not limited to, games marketed as "quick shot bonanza," "pick X" bingo, and "pick-8" bingo in the format utilizing a 40 square grid.
