HOW TO PLAY BREAK OPEN TICKETS

Two break open tickets, one with the two top windows peeled open.

Break open tickets – also commonly known as Nevada tickets are a paper-style game that offer the chance to win instant prizes or additional prizes during bingo sessions. These tickets feature one or more perforated covers that players tear open to reveal different numbers and symbols.

The object of the game

A break open ticket with all windows open. An arrow points to the second window from the top, which features a winning row of matching 7s.

The object of the game is to match the symbols under the perforated windows to the winning combinations on the front of the ticket. Winning tickets are turned in for cash prizes.

Bingo Event Tickets

Bingo event tickets are a type of break open ticket that are played alongside session games and feature a mix of instant win prizes and hold tickets. Hold tickets are just that: you hold on to them in hopes of winning a larger prize during a specified bingo session.

These tickets display a series of Bingo numbers (usually three) behind one of the windows. The first player to match all their numbers to those called during the bingo session, wins a prize.
