A New Era of Bingo at American Legion Brunswick Post 9

For more than 25 years, bingo at American Legion Brunswick Post 9 has been a cherished tradition — familiar faces, classic games, and a strong sense of community. Now, we’re excited to announce the next chapter in that tradition.

On Saturday, January 17, 2026, we proudly launch Beach Bingo — a modernized bingo experience that brings new technology, enhanced prize structures, and more flexibility for players, while keeping classic paper bingo firmly at the heart of the game.

This is not about replacing what works.It’s about adding options, improving value, and creating more ways to win.

🌊 What Is Beach Bingo?

Beach Bingo is a refreshed bingo format that introduces optional electronic handheld play alongside upgraded paper bingo. Players can choose how they want to play — paper, electronic, or both — all in the same session.

Beach Bingo features:

Tiered buy-in options
Clearly defined prize pools
Bigger, more transparent jackpots
Enhanced paper bundle pricing
Exclusive bonuses for paper players

Whether you prefer to daub or tap, Beach Bingo gives you a seat at the table.

📱 Electronic Bingo – Machine Players

Electronic bingo uses handheld bingo tablets that allow players to play multiple cards digitally with ease and accuracy.

🎟️ Buy-In Tiers & Prize Pools

Electronic players select one of the following tiers. Each tier competes independently, with prizes split per player, not by dollars contributed.

Tier Name	Buy-In	Regular Game Allocation	Jackpot Allocation	Theme
Diamond Pack	$50	$50	$500	Ultimate Brilliance
Pearl Pack	$40	$40	$400	Timeless Elegance
Shell Bead Pack	$30	$30	$300	Beach Charm

Important Notes:

Each machine plays 54 cards per game
Each pack includes a minimum of 10 games
Payouts are split evenly among winners based on their entry tier
Splits are per player, not per dollar

🧮 Example Payouts

1 Paper + 1 $30 Machine Winner
- Paper: $500 ÷ 2 = $250 + $50 bonus = $300
- Machine: $300 ÷ 2 = $150
1 $50 Machine + 1 $30 Machine Winner
- $50 Tier: $500 ÷ 2 = $250
- $30 Tier: $300 ÷ 2 = $150

🖊️ Classic Bingo – Paper Players

Paper bingo is not only staying — it’s getting better value and better rewards.

📄 Paper Pack Pricing

Each paper pack includes 10 games, with 9 cards per sheet.
