Four games pay $50, three pay $100 and the finale, a coverall, pays $600. Players risk at least $10 for a chance at the pot The $10 covers admission and two "books" of three bingo squares for each game. But most regulars pay more to get more of the books; the majority, Mr.

Lynch said, pay $20 for six books. Volunteer workers at the game also sell extra sheets of three squares for individual games, priced according to the prize sheets that, like the game cards in the books, are thrown away once each game is concluded and the winner is determined. For the finale, with its $600 prize, some players tape together 12 to 15 sheets in an effort to snare that one winning combination. Marked with brightly colored spots from "dobbers" wide- BINGO Continued on 17G ByJoeEarle StaffWriter A half-hour or so before the night's first number was due to bub-ble up from the bingo Jean Abernathy already was settled in to her regular spot at the back ta-; ble, cards set and waiting. She lives just across the street from American Legion Post 201 in Alpharetta, she said, so she usually comes over a bit early to stake out seats for herself and her friends.

A dozen minutes later, Mary Sutton and Bessie Munda joined her. They've been playing bingo together just about every Monday and Thursday night since the post ed holding games 11 years ago. "We've been sitting here for years," Mrs. Sutton said, laughing softly at the thought They're not the only regulars. Bingo nights draw about 100 players in Alpharetta, and often they are miliar faces.

"Bingo's a crowd all its, Your old Tiller is worth at least $105 Sutton said. On one Thursday night in February, 86 players gathered in the Wills Road post to mark their cards as caller S.R. Monroe pulled air-blown bingo balls from a glass-fronted container and read the numbers into the smoky air. There are 239 charitable groups in Georgia licensed to hold bingo games, said Frances P. Cobb, bingo coordinator for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which watches over the operation of the games.

Five of those charities, including the Alpharetta American Legion group, are in north Fulton, she said. The American Legion post started holding bingo the year it was legalized in Georgia as a charity fundraiser, Mr. Lynch said. At first, the game was a money-loser, he said, but now it raises roughly $75,000 a year for the post and its scholarship programs. "Bingo really is our basic source of income," he said.
