Equipped with the latest bingo technology, players will have the option to choose between traditional paper and electronic bingo. Pull tabs will also be available for purchase along with food and beverage options at Sacred Grounds Café.
Bingo will be held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with $5,000 in cash prize payouts each night. Doors open at 5:00 PM and games will run from 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM.
The bingo operations are part of Tlingit & Haida’s effort to generate more unrestricted revenue under the Tribe’s economic sovereignty initiative. President Richard Chalyee Éesh Peterson said profits from the bingo operations will support programs like the Tribe’s Elderly Emergency Assistance and Alumni Scholarship Assistance programs.
“Tlingit & Haida has been interested in resuming bingo operations for quite some time now. Bingo is just one more way we are pursuing economic sovereignty and broadening the Tribe's reach to better serve our citizens beyond Southeast Alaska. If you are looking for a fun evening activity and a way to contribute to our programs that support our Elders and students, this is your way to do that,” said President Peterson.
Tlingit & Haida is currently recruiting to fill six positions for the bingo operations, including a Gaming Supervisor and Assistant Gaming Supervisor. For more information or to apply for these positions, click here.
