SUMMARY:Dirty Elephant Bingo
DESCRIPTION:Did you receive a gift you don’t want\, can’t use\, can’t return and just really don’t know what to do with?\nBring it to Dirty Elephant Bingo as your admission!! That’s right – there’s no cost to attend except the gift that you don’t want! \nHere’s how it works: As players win\, they and the person on their left and their right select a prize from the table…or steal something selected by a previous winner. Don’t worry\, that person can select another prize from the table. Sadly\, if you’ve been burgled\, you cannot burgle a new prize\, you must select from the table.
