Drag Bingo is in our 29th Season, and like any bingo, it is a game of chance where participants try to create rows, columns, or special shapes on their grid of 5X5 numbers based on random numbers. Sponsors, special guests, or the Drag Queens themselves call the numbers for each game. There are surprises galore so you never know what you are going to hear or see. “Special Games” are played throughout the night as well so there are many chances and ways to win.

***Full Circle RSVP***
To reserve a table of 10 is an additional $5/person = $50 fee per table of 10 and can be paid online via our website: https://aidscareos.org/events/october-15th-nightmare-on-the-pawtuxet-drag-queen-bingo
Please scroll and click on "Full Circle Table of 10" from the dropdown menu so your information can be captured. Please enter the month/date of the Drag Bingo you will attend in the "Add a donation note/comment" box. This would reserve a table for 10 people for the night of Drag Bingo. However, if you are not able to fill your table (10 people) and you have empty seats on the night of Drag Bingo, the remaining seats may be filled as needed with other players.
This fee is not refundable if you cancel your Full Circle RSVP and, Per State of RI law, does NOT go towards the $25 Bingo Packet cost per person to play Drag Bingo. This charge is completely separate and cannot be combined with any other Drag Bingo purchases. Furthermore, the payment of the $50 Full Circle RSVP does not guarantee a person is able to play Drag Bingo if they arrive after 7pm unless someone else had already purchased a Bingo Booklet for them prior to 7pm on the night of Drag Bingo. Under no circumstances can Bingo Booklets be sold once the Drag Bingo games have begun at 7pm so the Full Circle RSVP is only to reserve a table of 10.
