How much money can be made?
In round numbers we feel it is very reasonable to expect to clear $1,000 per session on average. Once you have built up your patron base you should see that number increase. $1,500 to $2,000 per session is closer to what the long established hosts are experiencing.
Sources of Income:
The bingo patrons pay for admission papers and/or Electronic Bingo Devics (Tab-ees). $20 min up to $85 for a fully loaded Tab-ee.
The patrons also buy “Event Tickets” at $1.00 each. On a typical night a host will sell $8,000 worth of these tickets.
The patrons buy Progressive Papers separate from their admission packs. Normally this is around $700 – $900.
The Concessions Account of Northland Bingo shares its profits to the hosting organizations on a monthly basis.
Expenses:
Costs of Goods Sold will include: Bingo papers, Tabee rental, and Event Ticket Costs paid to All American Bingo, a licensed bingo supplier.
For each session a hall rental fee is paid to Northland Bingo.
In the beginning you should expect to pay for co-ownership fees until the total amount is amortized.
