When you're organizing a fundraising event, it's a good idea to think of a number of games that your attendees will want to play. Having people pay to play a game will generate more funds for your cause. One good option is bingo, which is a simple game that people either already know how to play or can learn quickly. People can pay a nominal fee to participate in each game, with the winner receiving a cash prize and the remainder of the money from the entry fees going to your organization. If you're planning to offer bingo at your event, you'll want to rent a handful of items from a party rental company, including these things.
Bingo Drum
An essential piece of gear for this game is a bingo drum, which you'll sometimes find labeled as a raffle drum. It's a large drum that you'll fill with bingo balls and rotate by turning a handle until one ball tumbles out. Your bingo host will check the number on this ball and read it aloud to the players. You can often rent bingo drums that come with a full set of balls, but you'll want to confirm this detail when you place your rental order. Bingo drums are available in several different colors and styles. You'll often find them in colors such as silver and gold, which can work well at a high-end event.
Bingo Board
It's handy to also rent a bingo board. This is a large device that allows you to display each number after your host calls it. If a player doesn't hear a particular number when it's called, they can simply look at the board to confirm it — rather than interrupt their fellow players by asking for clarification. Bingo boards are easy to hang on walls or place on a large easel-style sign so that they're visible to the players.
Cards And Daubers
You'll need to distribute cards and daubers to your bingo players, and you can get these items from any party rental company that carries bingo-related products. Technically, you won't be renting the cards, because your players will use them and discard them. It's still advantageous to get them from the party rental company because it will save you from having to find them in a local store and buy them separately. Contact a local party rental company to learn more about what it can provide for your bingo game.
