Bingo is emperor in Georgia. Georgia is where Bingo originated in The United States, way back in Nineteen Twenty Nine. But during the years immediately after Bingo arrived (from Italy) at a county fair in Georgia, the game was outlawed with most other types of betting.

In 1976, Bingo was made legal for non-profit businesses. Since Bingo is one of just 3 styles of wagering authorized in Georgia (along with raffles as well as the state lotto), the game has become a huge crowd pleaser.

You can find around 200 bingo operators in Georgia today. Georgians grossed over $35,000,000 in profits for its Bingo operators in 2005, for the average of around One Hundred and Trity Thousand dollars per provider. Georgians won over 20,000,000 dollars in cash over the same span. Georgian charities saw 1.5 million dollars in proceeds from the Bingo industry.

Georgia has several of the toughest bingo regulations inside the U.S. Operators are limited in the amount of cash prizes they can pay off at any one time. Games can hand out prizes with a $1,500 per session and three thousand dollars per week, which is well lower than the restrictions in specific states.

The Georgia Bureaus of Investigation: Bingo Unit regulates bingo games in the state. Within the last Twenty five years, about 50 establishments have forfeited their license in Georgia for continued violations of the local wagering laws. The result is that nearly all bingo palaces in Georgia are Veterans of Foreign Wars and support groups, the type of agencies which run a game to pay for their non-profit activities.

Of course, as long as bingo is really a large cash venture, there will be people who discover a way to skirt the rules. With 12,000 or more folks employed within the charitable gambling industry of Georgia, the Bingo Unit is certain to be busy in the years to come.
