    Back by popular demand, this old standard is made more interesting and exciting through the addition of strategies used not only to win in one evening, but also over the course of the entire 2017 series. Real pesos are at stake, and players will have a chance to sweeten their cruising kitties if they play their bingo cards right. If you've watched or participated in the play in previous years, you'll remember the smiling faces, laughter, and friendly cursing that make this evening so much fun.
