e-bingo

Bar owners and charitable gambling organizations in the St. Cloud area will have a chance to learn more about electronic gambling games later this month.

The electronic bingo games which will help fund a new Minnesota Vikings stadium have been shut down while a malfunction is fixed. The company producing the games that are being tested in a half dozen bars and restaurants says the bingo screen sometimes displayed a random image when a new player logged on to the game.

Electronic bingo will begin showing up around bars and other places that offer pulltabs in Minnesota after the Minnesota Gambling Control Board approved e-bingo.
