Online Bingo News

Hillary Tuttle of NYU News said it was “Amusing, confusing and occasionally quite awkward.” referring to a Bingo themed Passion party held by an NYU student last Wednesday night in Kimmel New York. The event attracted more than 20 college students which according to Tuttle surpassed even the expectations of the events organizer, Jessica Laigle.

The sexy bingo game was hosted by Janice Formichella, who is not only a student of NYU, but also works as a Passion Parties representative. The bingo game worked with the sexual and erotic theme, teaching NYU students about the proper storage of sex toys, among other tidbits.

Formichella wore a tee-shirt that read “Vagina’s are coming!” for the event which is just one event being held by NYU students leading up to the NYU’s production of the vagina Monologues which is set to be held the 11th, 12th and 13th of this month.

Sex Toy Bingo was the students way of not only adding a touch of spice to the game of bingo, offering a whole new flavor to a younger generation, but as Laigle explained to NYU reporter Hilary Tuttle,

“A huge part of the show is the embracing of female sexuality, which is why sex toy bingo is a cool activity to do in both a political sense and just a fun sense,”

Of the 22 students that attended the event, 6 men were present, out of those six, three won prizes, one of which included the “Gigi”.

A 33 year old Grand Rapids man was appearntly skimming from his till at Bingo Palace located in Grand Forks. Skimming to the tune of $135k according to police reports. The associated press reported that the grand rapids man turned himself in on these charges, that apparently took place over a period of three years.

A detective investigating the case, Detective Mike Flannery, Grand Forks Police Dept. told the press that management personnel at bingo Palace “realized they had a problem with some missing money and started an audit”, kicking off the investigation.

The Bingo Hall involved is Bingo Palace which operated by the North Dakota Association for the Disabled (NDAD). The NDAD, a non profit, charitable organization assists people with both mental and physical disabilities who aren’t otherwise eligible for service from other area agencies.

The Grand Forks police department got involved in the investigation last December. The internal audit was completed earlier this year in January, according to Detective Flannery said. The investigation conducted by the police department showed that somewhere around $136,000 had been stolen from the organization during a three-year period of time.

According to reports Volk was identified as the only suspect in the theft case. Volk faces a Class B felony theft charge as a result. Flannery also noted that no money was taken from bingo players, payouts were apparently made correctly and winnings were not impacted.
