EXTRAS: Many players are familiar with our games from our years of operation at the Jamaica Club Bingo Hall in Ashland. We were known for our innovative games, including the introduction of the "Ball Grab" jackpot game and Second Chance bingo. At our new bingo hall, scheduled to open August 2, 2007, we will introduce Richmond to the "Pick Your Nose" game. This game will feature a winner who then gets to choose one nose from 15 noses displayed on a large board. If they pick the nose with the key that opens a box, they win all the jackpot money in that box.
